I have had an upset stomach for the past 10 days, with excessive gas in the afternoon and night, discomfort in the evening, and incomplete bowel movements. What could be causing this?

An upset stomach with gas, evening discomfort, and a feeling of incomplete bowel movements for 10 days is most commonly due to indigestion or constipation, often triggered by irregular meals, low fibre intake, stress, or eating spicy and oily foods; sometimes a mild gut infection or Irritable Bowel Syndrome can also cause similar symptoms. To improve, eat simple home-cooked food, increase fibre (fruits, vegetables, whole grains), drink plenty of water, and maintain regular meal timings; avoid fried, spicy foods and excess tea or coffee. Light daily exercise, like walking, can help improve digestion and bowel movements. If the problem continues beyond 1-2 weeks, or if you notice severe pain, weight loss, or blood in stools, consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
Is there a cure for indigestion?
Bayyarapu Mahesh Kumar

Indigestion usually does not have a single permanent cure, but symptoms can be effectively managed. Eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy or fatty foods, limiting caffeine and alcohol, and not lying down soon after eating can help. Antacids or acid reducing medicines may provide relief. If indigestion is frequent, severe, or persistent, it is essential to consult a doctor to find and treat the underlying cause.
