My father is 62 years of age. He is as of now retired. He eats very limited but every day will complain of stomach bloating. What is the best treatment that can be given to him for stomach bloating? Can some antacid also help him to relieve the bloating or what about pudina hara?

The symptoms are suggestive of gastritis. You would require an antacid to control the condition. These following steps may help:
- Don't skip meals, you may not feel like eating but in such conditions you should have the reduced amount in frequent intervals(i.e. 3 square meals broken down to 5 or 6 as you can tolerate) and slowly increase as you get better.
- Reduce/ Avoid spicy,fried, fatty, junk and oily food
- Avoid/ Limit drinking coffee, tea and carbonated drinks to once a day
- Exercise regularly (30-45 mins/day)
- Increase daily intake of water to 3 liters
- Avoid/Stop smoking and drinking if you have the habit
- Reduce stress through methods such as yoga/meditation/tai-chi.
- Avoid painkillers as it will increase your gastric problems at this moment.
