Hi,
I am 27 years old male over weight up to 120kgs, i am suffering with stomach bloating and abdominal sounds. 2-3 years back i used to have acidity pain, i used to take omeprazole and i managed to take diet punctually, some how managed to come out of it. I have no acidity pain since past 2-3 years. But for last 1 year i am suffering from abdominal sounds and bloating. Abdominal sounds starts from 3:00 PM which some times gives me burping also farting by 9:00 Pm. In some cases when i took heavy meal i never seen such bloating or abdominal sounds. But since i am obese when i try to maintain limited diet i feel it real worse. I am occasional alcoholic, probably once or twice a month.
I have an idea of going for a gastro checkup which i have seen in your healthcare checkup packages, but since am obese i am half sure i might have fatty liver. I am sacred to see such results in reports which will put me in severe tension and stress. Please suggest should i go for this complete gastro checkup at this age or any other remedies/precautions or suggestions.
Thanks.

If none of these measures made any difference then talk to your doctor to go back on omeprazole.
Regarding gastro package, it is always better to find out about a problem early in the course so that it can be treated early with better outcomes or can prevent further progression by:
