My husband is experiencing stomach issues, including excess gas, difficulty burping, and some nausea. He is currently taking Omeprazole 40mg twice a day, Gas-X, and chewable Tums, but they are not helping much. He is 60 years old, had open heart surgery last May, and is currently working midnights. What else can I do to help him?

I feel queasy all the time, I am bloated, and my bowel movements are irregular. I have had a colonoscopy and gastroscopy, and I know my food intolerances. I have been experiencing these symptoms for about 2 weeks, which seem stable. I also have nausea and stool changes. I am 30 years old and currently use a probiotic. I have had stomach issues all my life, but I never usually suffer this constantly. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to alleviate them?

My son, who is 20 years old, has had his third pneumothorax and failed the water seal test. He has had a chest tube for 10 days and needs to be transported safely for 4 hours by ambulance to a better hospital in Seattle. Is it safe for him to leave the hospital with a Heimlich valve, and should he be transported by ambulance or another method?
