What could cause blood in stool and mouth sores after drug and alcohol abuse?
Hello, I have been experiencing large amounts of blood in faeces when I use the toilet and some pain for the last two weeks. I think it is linked to drug and alcohol use, as I'm only 23 but have been abusing several pills (sometimes 30 a day, ibuprofen/codeine) and drinking a lot for around 3 years now on and off. I have also developed mouth sores on the corner of my lips for no apparent reason and I think this may be related. Do you know what this could be?

Blood and pain when using the toilet indicate problems inside your body. Those mouth sores reveal that something is wrong with your health. These issues likely stem from drug or alcohol abuse. Your liver, stomach, and even immune system could be damaged. Getting help from a gastroenterologist immediately is vital.

can i take rifaximin 400 twice a day and propranolol together is it safe
Male | 22
This medication is prescribed for a specific reason. Rifaximin is an antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections in the gut, while propranolol is used to treat heart conditions. When they are taken together, they could influence the way your body deals with them. It may be safe, but it's important to have a gastroenterologist monitor you closely so you can avoid any possible problems or interactions.

I am currently getting pain in my rectum along with difficulty passing stools.

Stool feels hard to pass, rectum has a sharp pain on the inside, always have to strain to pass stools, extremely bloated and very uncomfortable all the time, I have no appetite currently and have tried using laxatives, changing my diet and keeping myself hydrated. Nothing has worked so far. What is my next options?
Female | 33
From the symptoms you describe, you may be dealing with hemorrhoids or anal fissures. Consult with a gastroenterologist, who is a specialist in the field of the digestive tract. Till then keep on maintaining a healthy diet, stay hydrated and avoid straining during bowel movements.

Female | 30
You have been having a sense of imbalance for the last 4 to 5 days and vomiting at the slightest of food intake. These can be attributed to low blood pressure. When blood pressure reduces it is possible for you to feel dizzy and the sensation of sickness to be experienced. To help, consider drinking more water and eating small meals throughout the day.

I have to go to the toilet every 5seconds
Female | 12
Feeling like peeing often when it is least expected can be very unpleasant and is a signal of bothersome health effects such as urinary tract infections, excessive intake of liquids, or early disease. In the same light, the appearance of tension can be one of the central points that provoke this sensation. To help solve this issue, you can try to drink less fluid right before you go to bed and record the times you feel the need to urinate. Just be sure to take in enough water during the day, so you will stay hydrated. This situation might also get worse in the event of pain. It would be better to get in touch with a gastroenterologist to be checked out if the condition is still ongoing or if it is associated with discomfort.

Since few day I felt gas in my stomach. And today I don't know why but I get frequent urge to poop. In total till now i went for 5 times. The last I went my poop was red in colour and semi-solid(say as jelly).
Male | 21
The sensation of gas in the stomach and the frequent feeling of having to move the bowels are symptoms that can be caused due to several reasons. Defecation of red, jelly-like poop may indicate a bleed in your digestive system. This might be the result of the food you have consumed, the infection you might have, or it is the sign of a disease. It is advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for proper treatment.

Male | 28
It’s normal to get a tummy ache and not feel like eating when you’re on antimalarial medication. These medicines may sometimes bother your stomach. Remember to continue taking them, but try to ease the discomfort by consuming small and soft meals. Drinking fluids such as water or tea frequently could also be helpful. Should the symptoms persist, consult your doctor for further assistance.

I got severe stomach pain
Male | Rishab
Severe abdominal discomfort can arise from various factors, including indigestion, food intolerances, infections, or even stress. Common symptoms may include bloating, cramping, or changes in appetite. To alleviate discomfort, try staying hydrated, eating small, light meals, and avoiding spicy or fatty foods. Gentle movement, like walking, may also help. However, if pain persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms like fever or vomiting, it's important to consult a gastroenterologist. Professional evaluation will ensure proper diagnosis and treatment, allowing you to feel better swiftly.

From past 3 days I have blood with stool and on first day during pee l saw blood on my anus
Female | 20
Noticing blood during bowel movements is always worrisome and may indicate a few potential problems such as hemorrhoids, fissures, or GI conditions. It's crucial to track any extra symptoms, such as pain or alterations in your regular life. Supplying plenty of water and introducing a diet rich in fiber can be beneficial for the gut. Nevertheless, it's important to consult with a gastroenterologist in order to find the real cause and then proceed with the correct treatment.

You have signs of being tired, having loose poop, shaking, and sweating at night. Many things can cause these signs like germs or bad food. It is key to drink lots of water and drinks with salt and minerals. Eat soft foods and rest up. If you feel worse or these signs do not go away, go see a gastroenterologist.

My child always have a bloated stomach whenever he eats
Male | 8 years
A bulging stomach after a meal can be a result of their food choices, swallowing air, or having an allergy. Like gas from certain foods such as beans or dairy, excess calories may also be one of the main causes of such discomfort. Try smaller meals, thorough mastication, and no carbonated drinks would be good ways to address this issue. Keeping a diary of what you eat may help you find out what causes the problem. In case this problem does not go away or gets even worse, consult a gastroenterologist. They will give you tailor-made instructions and make sure that your child is not only in good health and comfort.

I m 40 years old. I m suffering from fissure in anus. It gives me pain
Male | 40
Fissures are little rips in the skin around the anus. Passing hard stools, diarrhea, or inflammatory bowel disease can cause them. To heal the fissure, drink plenty of water, eat foods high in fiber, and use stool softeners. You might need creams or ointments too so that it does not hurt as much and heals faster.

Sometimes, this medicine may cause your stomach to have problems and your anus to become irritated. Drink a lot of water, eat fiber-rich foods, and do not eat spicy or fatty foods.
