Hello doctor! I often have flatulence, bowel movements, sometimes mild abdominal pain. I had a colonoscopy 4 years ago and was diagnosed with colitis and was prescribed medication to take. I took the medicine and the bloating stopped, the stomach ache was gone, but after a while, it recurred.
So the doctor asked me when I ran out of medication to treat colitis for a while and then relapsed, what should I do? Ask your doctor for advice and answers. I sincerely thank!

Hello! Gas in the digestive system is part of the normal digestive process. Eliminating excess gas, either by belching or passing stool is also normal. Gas pain can occur if gas is trapped or doesn't move well through the digestive system.
Increased gas or pain from gas can be caused by eating gas-producing foods. Usually, relatively simple changes in eating habits can alleviate some discomfort such as limiting vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beer, soda, chewing gum..
Certain digestive disorders Certain chemicals, such as irritable bowel syndrome or celiac disease, can cause gas or pain. What to do when the state of discontinuing the treatment of colitis for a period of time recurs? then you need to go to medical facilities or hospitals of Vinmec Health System to be examined and screened for inflammatory bowel diseases.
