what causes gas with bloating in a paraplegic patient
hi I have read your query but as you have not mentioned how long ago the injury was sustained I will presume it was not recent but the gas build is recent if both are recent you might want to look into the bowel program for sci first make sure his diet is not very high in sugars vegetables like broccoli cabbage radishes etc to decrease methane production in the gut the gas second introducing suppositories or carminatives will help with passing wind tablet motillium 10 my thrice a day before meals promotes gut motility too if it does not work there are other drugs like erythromycin an antibiotic available to promote gut motility that should help with releasing gas have a look at his gall bladder too sludge or sand and not just gallstones causes bloating indigestion
