Hello. I am 23 years old and I've had heartburn for more than 3 years. Last year in April I took Dexilant 60mg for about 2 weeks and my symptoms were gone for about 2 months. However, the symptoms started coming back after that and I've been having heartburn almost every day since then. I've occasionally been using Pepcid Complete for my symptoms but I know that this isn't a permanent solution. So can you please tell me when I should be worried about heartburn and what kind of treatments are there for heartburn?

Answered on 23rd May '24
Seek medical attention as it could indicate an underlying issue like GERD. It can be treated with lifestyle changes, over the counter medications (antacids and H2 blockers), and prescription medications. Untreated heartburn can lead to complications, so don't delay seeking help. Consult with a gastroenterologist.

You are going through the swelling problem of your hands and feet after taking medication for blood level maintenance. This might be a consequence of some drugs. The limb swelling and the discomfort you are feeling might indicate a fluid retention issue. Your doctor should adjust your treatment plan to ensure that your blood levels are good and you do not have these side effects. Talk to your gastroenterologist about all your symptoms so that they can make the most appropriate choices for your health.

Toothpaste contains ingredients like fluoride that can sometimes cause stomach discomfort and vomiting. Your symptoms are your body’s way of reacting.

This does not happen all the time but often enough I have try keeping a food diary but that not working very well because I eat something and nothing happens but next time I eat the same thing I get bloating, gas, diarrhea and stomach ache. I tried the FODMAP diet but some of the food they recommend have caused the issues. So I asked Dr. if they could arrange a test for food intolerant test. I was there is not one.
Male | 59
According to your symptoms of bloating, gas, diarrhea and stomach pain after consuming the leftovers you most likely have cases of food poison or intolerance. Generally, it is better to seek advice from a specialist and undergo testing in order to determine the root of your symptoms. In the meantime, follow simple diet

I have anal fissures, using anasol it doesn't bleed anymore but can u prescribe any oral medication
Female | 35
It is a positive step that the bleeding has stopped with Anasol, but let us find an oral medication for your anal fissures. These are the reasons which cause it when the skin around your bottom tears. It can lead to pain and bleeding when you poo. To help them heal, you can take stool softeners like psyllium husk or docusate sodium. These can cause going to the bathroom to be quicker and less painful. Besides, you should drink a lot of water too.

Yesterday i went to toilet 3 times and each time i had blood with my stool. At the 3rd time even with fart the blood came out. Today i went to toilet. There was no stool came out but with fart blood came out. Also the anul are has burning feeling with pain. What it possibly could be?
Male | 36
You might have hemorrhoids. These are enlarged blood vessels in the anal canal that can bleed and hurt. They usually occur after periods of constipation when people strain too hard during bowel movements or sit for long periods without taking breaks. You should eat more fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while also staying hydrated by drinking at least 8 glasses of water each day. If your symptoms persist or worsen despite these efforts then I recommend seeing a gastroenterologist.

I am having stomach pain and loose motions and vomiting
Female | 25
It seems that you have a stomach bug. This condition is often accompanied by nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. It is caused by viruses or bacteria that invade and reside in your digestive system. Drink a lot of water and rest in order to stay hydrated. Eat soft foods like toast, rice, and bananas. If the symptoms persists consult a gastroenterologist.

Female | 55
The grade 2 Hiatus hernia, which you were diagnosed with earlier, could be the causing the symptoms. This is a situation in which your stomach part is being pushed back up into your chest. Making changes to your diet, eating less food, and steering clear of your trigger foods can make your symptoms go away. Your gastroenterologist needs to keep checking you to make sure your condition is being managed properly.

You seem to be having difficulties. Issues like acid reflux, gastritis, or ulcers occur. They make your stomach upset. Your back hurts too. You may feel sick or bloated. Breathing becomes harder. However, some tips help. Eat smaller portions. Avoid spicy and fatty choices. Stay upright after meals. Drink water frequently. Try antacids from stores. But if troubles continue, see a gastroenterologist.

I am 18 yeras old.. I actually ate cheetos but the packet was kept open for 2 days in the cupboard..
Female | 18
If you have eaten Cheetos from a bag open for 2 days, you might get a sore stomach, feel sick, or have diarrhea. The reason for this is that when food is left out it gets covered in bacteria. The best way to help yourself is by drinking plenty of fluids such as water or squash eating plain things like toast and rice then resting If your condition deteriorates, visit a gastroenterologist.

25 year old female last night I started experiencing sharp pain on the lower right side of my stomach near pelvic area that radiates down to my hip and leg and now I'm also feeling nausea
Female | 25
You might be dealing with appendicitis. This is the case when a small part of your belly, known as the appendix, gets enlarged and causes severe pain. The pain might be displaced to your hip and leg. Nausea is a typical symptom as well. You must visit a gastroenterologist. The surgical method is warranted in a majority of cases to get rid of the inflamed appendix and help you be in a good state of health again.

Mild stomach pain. Bites after a while. At last I ate chicken and fish in the afternoon
Male | 25
You seem to have food poisoning. Food poisoning symptoms may consist of mild belly upset followed by throwing up or diarrhea after some time. Emissions of undercooked fowl or fish may result in stomach pain only. To cure the situation, get enough rest, drink lots of water, and forgo eating for a couple of hours. If it so happens that the symptoms you have become more severe or remain, it would be better if you visit a gastroenterologist.

Female | 18
Your body pain, fatigue, constipation, swelling in the area of private, morning vomiting, and swallowed food are some of the reasons that may make your body feel stressed. These symptoms may guide you to a digestive problem or an infection. To begin, you should increase your water intake, take in small meals, and avoid spicy and oily food. It's essential to get the right treatment and a proper diagnosis from a gastroenterologist.

I am 20 years old. Recently I feel pain in my esophageal area during swallowing time. Also after every minute it start paying from bottom to up an then stop and continue after se ome time
Male | 20
There are symptoms that hard burn is the same as that you might be facing. The reason is that stomach acid goes up into the esophagus and causes pain. Eating spicy or greasy foods, alcohol, or being overweight plays a significant role in developing this heartburn type of problem. For improvement, you can eat smaller meals, avoid trigger foods, and stay sitting upright after eating. If it still hurts, visiting a gastroenterologist for a check-up is necessary.
