Hello @cristina9532, I agree with @astaingegerdm. If your father's symptoms are not vastly better after a week on the new med you should request additional testing.
You might also consider keeping a food journal to see if there are specific food triggers that cause more discomfort. Gluten is often a problem for many people, especially as they age.
Perhaps you could suggest to his doctor that he/she run an MRI, CT scan, or ultrasound in order to rule out anything more serious than a gas problem.
