Hey everyone!
As the title says, I’m looking for some OTC meds for indigestion.
As I have anxiety and anxiety goes hand in hand with stomach issues I’m basically used to some symptoms but recently nausea has become more persistent. I just want something that aids with digestion and overall digestive health.
If thw problem persists or gets worse I will go see a doctor.
Thank you in advance!

[Ohta’s Isan](https://global.ohta-isan.co.jp/en/) is a good choice. Not sure which variety would be best for your, but one of them should do the trick.
Iherb . I found the Japanese otc meds too weak for my indigestion.
Edit: also baking soda in water
Gaster 10 works best for me. Famotidine. Roughly equivalent to Pepcid AC back home, but my indigestion was the stabbing chest pain+burping type. Haven’t had to use it in 3-4 years, thankfully.
I stock up on pepsid AC when i visit US
I recommend [Biofermin S](https://www.biofermin.co.jp/products/biofermin_s/jou/?utm_source=all_gkt&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=s001r&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyNbtj-eZgQMVyLiWCh2vNALUEAAYASAAEgJA5_D_BwE) which is a highly dosed loctobacillus that works for diarrhea as well as for constipation as it practically brings your intestinal balance back in order. You can use it long term and it’s even ok for small children (it’s available as a powder version for small children). Please note that you should take it right after a meal as it has to travel down to your intestines in order to work. There is a cheaper version of it sold by Matsumoto Kiyoshi I think.
