What is the treatment of patients with pain/gas/bloat syndrome?
Answer
Narcotics should always be avoided.
Central and end-organ targeted treatment approaches should be combined, e.g. selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor paroxetine combined with a prokinetic agent domperidone or smooth muscle relaxant, e.g. mebeverine.
Patients can be referred to a dietician for a trial of a FODMAP (fermentable oligo-, di- and mono- saccharides and polyols) diet
