Could a Worm in My Toilet Be a Serious Concern?
Hello. I am a 14 year old boy for context. I just went number 2, and out of the corner of my eye, I think I saw a worm being flushed down the toilet. I would like to know if I'm just being paranoid or if this is something I should take seriously.

Good morning I have on and off diarrhea and severe abdominal pain m weak no appetite its been 7 daes
Male | 38
You're dealing with diarrhea, intense belly pain, feeling weak, and no appetite for a week. That's rough! It might be a stomach bug or food poisoning causing these issues. Stay hydrated by drinking lots of fluids. Stick to plain foods like toast and rice. But if it persists, consult your gastroenterologist right away.

Stool से blood aata hai kabhi kabhi clot bhi padte hai aur pet me pain bhi hota hai blood asne ke bad bahot weakness hota hai
Male | 54
If your stool contains blood with clots and you feel pain in your stomach this might be happening. In these cases, several possibilities such as ulcers or even inflammatory bowel disease could be present. Hydration is key so drink lots of fluids and eat foods that are high in fibre content. You should see a gastroenterologist who will give you the right diagnosis and a suitable treatment plan required to cure this condition.

Good Afternoon, I was referred by a friend to contact you. I'm set to go to the doctor tomorrow but first want to consult a doctor online before going to my doctor. I have a quite weird symptom - Since the beginning of the year I have been having some stomach problems. I can't eat rich food, like too spicy food, Tomato Sauce and Chillies ect. The other thing Is I have been having now and then stomach cramps also like a heartburn feeling but in my stomach and then the most embarrassing symptom is my stomach growling even when I did eat it still growling. Can you please tell me what might be wrong and what medication I should take. Thank You.
Male | 19
One possibility is that you are suffering from gastrointestinal problems if you feel bothered by things like stomach pain, a heartburn-like sensation, and continuous stomach growling. This can be acute or chronic inflammation of your stomach lining, which usually the symptoms point to. Besides, it is suggested to consume food in small amounts and at short intervals, stay away from those that are spicy or acidic, and for temporary relief use over-the-counter drugs similar to Tums. Talk with a gastroenterologist for their expert advice and treatments.

Female | 57
You are overwhelmed and things are running out of fuel for you after your morning walk and breakfast. The causes of fever infection can be a variety of things, such as being sick to the stomach, eating poisoned food, or the blood sugar level being high. This may be due to your high sugar levels lately. Ensure that you will be alright drinking water and hydrating yourself and that eating smaller lighter meals is the right idea. If vomiting persists, it is better to contact your doctor for more instructions.

Body aches and stomach troubles for three days must be difficult. He may have caught a stomach bug. Such illnesses can cause body pain and abdominal discomfort. The best approach now is bed rest, staying hydrated with ample water, and consuming light fare like crackers and broth. Following this path should aid his recovery soon.

I feel my chest and back pain and hand pain from shoulders i have gas problem
Female | 22
You're experiencing chest and back pain, along with pain in your hands and shoulders, due to gas. Gas can cause pain by pressing against sensitive areas and making your stomach feel bloated. You might also feel like you're unable to pass gas. To help with this, try breathing fresh air, stretching, and avoiding foods that worsen gas, like beans and carbonated drinks. Keep drinking fluids, but also be aware that anxiety can make your gas problems worse. If these symptoms continue, see a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis and treatment.

As soon as you can, go to a gastroenterologist. The symptom of hematemesis – vomiting blood is a serious sign that must not be overlooked. It may refer to various diseases, including gastric ulcers, inflammation of the stomach lining or even cancer. Only an expert can identify the underlying condition.

Male | 23
Nash Fibrosis is the condition in which the liver is damaged due to the build-up of an excessive amount of unhealthy fat. This process could result in scarring first, then lead to liver damage ultimately. You can improve your liver health by following a low-fat diet, exercising, and losing weight under the supervision of a gastroenterologist.

I was a mild stinging in my throat and was prescribed rabeloc rd for 1 month followed by esomeprazole for another month. After the course of the medication I was free from the symptoms but then I started having a terrible chest pain heartburn stomach ache one week after I stopped the ppi.
Female | 24
You might feel chest pain, heartburn, and stomach ache. It could be acid rebound. Your body makes more acid when you stop taking PPIs fast. This causes symptoms like heartburn and stomach pain. To help, eat smaller meals. Avoid foods that trigger it. Use antacids if needed. But talk to a gastroenterologist before changing anything.

AFTER EATING FOOD STOMACH PAIN
Male | 31
Eating too quickly or consuming large quantities of food can cause stomach aches. Spicy and fatty meals can also be problematic. To avoid discomfort, eat lighter meals slowly. If you experience pain, take a stroll or lie on your left side. If the pain persists, consult a gastroenterologist.

I am 21 years old. When I press my abdomin lightly it hurts, Even when I poop I feel pressure build up in the lump near umbilicus. I feel constant discomfort in my abdomin,,no pain though.
Female | 21
From your description, it seems what you have is an umbilical hernia. Therein, a little piece of your intestine may pop up through a weak part of your belly button, and as a result, a lump is formed. This may be the reason why you experience discomfort when pushing on your belly or while pooping. See a gastroenterologist for a thorough diagnosis and treatment, which can involve surgery to repair the hernia.
