I have digestive problems and excessive gas. I previously used steroids for uveitis in my right eye, which is now under control. Please suggest an effective medicine to improve digestion and reduce gas.

Digestive problems and excessive gas are quite common and can occur due to irregular meals, spicy or oily foods, stress, low water intake, or sometimes as a side effect of medicines such as steroids used in the past. Since your uveitis (inflammation in the eye) is now under control, you can focus on improving your digestion with simple lifestyle changes and appropriate medications. For relief of gas and bloating, doctors may suggest antacids, probiotics, digestive enzyme syrups, or simethicone-containing medicines. These medicines can help reduce gas and support better digestion. If you also have stomach acidity or a burning sensation, medicines like pantoprazole may help, but it is better to take them after consulting a doctor rather than using them regularly on your own. Eat meals at regular times, chew food slowly, and avoid overeating. Reducing fried, oily, and gas-producing foods may also help. Drink enough water and stay physically active with regular walking or light exercise. If your symptoms persist for a long time or you develop severe pain, vomiting, weight loss, or blood in your stools, please consult a doctor or gastroenterologist for proper evaluation.
