Do not underestimate how black stool points to possible internal bleeding of your digestive system, nor your symptoms of losing weight and having no appetite. This points to the start of a severe health issue that would be more likely benign than malignant. Besides, it's best to go through the colon and intestine diagnostics first as well as some other medical tests.

Acute stomach pain 1 days pain and pain area are in right side below diaphragm
Male | Aman Raj
It appears you are experiencing a pain in your stomach on the right side under the ribs. This might have appeared because of the trouble with your gallbladder, appendix, or muscle strain. Periodically digestion issues or gases can be a reason for this kind of pain. To get over it, consume light foods, drink water, and avoid fatty or spicy foods. If the pain intensifies or doesn't vanish, it is a must to see a gastroenterologist.

Hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or gastrointestinal bleeding can be few issues related to your condition.. Consult a gastroenterologist for proper evaluation and treatment in your particular case.

I am Mrs Gomes 55 years old lady suffering from upper abdomen pain from last few months and special after the meal and feeling floating
Female | 55
Indigestion occurs when the stomach struggles to break down food. This can cause discomfort, making it feel like air or gas is trapped in the belly. To help alleviate this, try eating smaller meals, avoid spicy and fatty foods, and stay upright after eating. Drinking ginger tea or taking over-the-counter antacids may also provide relief. If the pain persists, consult a gastroenterologist for further examination.

My fiancee has been diagnosed with gluten intolerance and on the scale is a 3.8, being 0.2 away from being classed as having celiac disease. If he carried on eating gluten like normal, would he eventually develop celiacs disease? And if not should he cut gluten out anyway?
Male | 39
Bloating, diarrhea, and fatigue are some common symptoms of gluten sensitivity. In some cases, if a person keeps consuming foods containing this protein, they may develop celiac disease – an illness that makes the body react even more harshly towards gluten. To avoid further harm and discomfort, it would be best if he stopped eating anything with wheat or any other sources of gluten immediately.

It is advised to visit a gastroenterologist to tackle gas, nausea, and upper stomach pain issues. Also, since you have cold sensation and upper back pain it is suitable to consult a general practitioner or rheumatologist.

My boyfriend had, what I suspect to be, Norovirus 8 days ago. He had diarrhea for about 18 to 22 hours, and he only had one bout of vomiting, which he believes was due to the Mountain Dew he drank on an upset stomach. Since its been 8 days since his symptoms have stopped, would it be safe to engage in close contact activities like kissing again?
Male | 23
Norovirus is a bug. It can make your stomach feel bad. After it goes away, wait a bit before kissing. This makes sure it is all gone. 8 days since his last symptoms are good. But wait longer to be safe. Washing hands well stops the spread.

There's a possibility that could be due to urinary tract infection, kidney stones, gastrointestinal issues, or reproductive system disorders. Consult a gynecologist for evaluation.

I have recently noticed that my bowel movements have shown a flat side. No bleeding. I have had these hemorrhoids for at least 6 months. Some days they're almost nonexistent. Some days they pop out of the anus and feel annoying, but they hardly ever hurt in any way. It is hard to tell, but there are some days where the stool looks completely normal. No flat side that I can see. I had a colonoscopy (at 39 yrs old) 2+ years ago. A polyp was removed and 3 hemorrhoids were banded. I am very healthy. I am 2 years sober, high protein diet, strength training, active job, don't smoke, and do everything with health in mind. I take sertraline for anxiety and a few supplements. I am scheduled to see my Dr in a month. My anxiety always makes me think it's the worst! Google searches tell me that hemorrhoids won't likely change the stool shape. I am in need of answers please!
Male | 41
This can result from dietary changes or minor intestinal troubles. Hemorrhoids rarely cause flat stools. As a recent colonoscopy was done, serious worries are unlikely. Maintaining healthy habits is wise. It's advisable to inform a doctor about this during the upcoming appointment for accurate guidance.

Mucus and blood in stool Vomiting if eating anything
Female | 25
If you have bloody stools with mucus or nausea after meals, it might mean that all is not well with your digestive system. The reasons for this could be infections, inflammation, or something else. Drinking water and eating plain food in small amounts as important. I would advise you to go to a gastroenterologist as soon as possible.

Hi iam 23years old girl suffering from belches all the time whether I eat or not no matter what I do all the time iam getting belches.
Female | 23
Burping, or belching, can happen when you swallow too much air. This may occur if you eat too quickly, chew gum, or drink fizzy beverages. Sometimes, belching results from acid reflux - stomach acid rising into your throat. To reduce belching, try these tips: Eat slowly. Avoid carbonated drinks. Don't talk while eating. If belching persists, consult a gastroenterologist to identify potential underlying causes.

Hlo mam I'm 19 yrs old I'm having abdominal cramps in lower right abdomen, left, sometimes back, also having mucus along blood in stool sometimes, fatigue this happening not continues for weeks
Female | 19
You are likely enduring some digestive issues. The cramps in your lower abdomen, which transfer from right to left, and even to the back, as well as the mucus and blood in the poop and fatigue, can be signals pointing to the fact that your gastrointestinal system may be out of balance. Such symptoms may appear in conditions like Crohn's disease or an infection. It's crucial to undergo a thorough physical examination with a gastroenterologist who can identify the cause and provide the treatment.

I am 28years old,female and I am hepB carrier. My dad has undergone liver transplant surgery due to liver cirrhosis and tumour. I checked my HBVDNA and it's quite high in level (in crores) and I have consulted a doctor and he advised me to take antiviral drugs(Tafero800mg-OD) as a preventive measures since my dad suffered from liver cancer. I have taken this medicine for more than 4month and it doesn't bring changes in Dna level counts. So I discontinued my treatment. My all blood reports as well as USG and liver fibroscan is normal but my HbvDna level is still up. My dad has been taking tab.entaliv 0.5mg and it helps my dad's level to come down drastically. Please do prescribed me the best and most effective medicine,Thank you.

• Hepatitis B carriers are persons who carry the hepatitis B virus in their blood but do not experience symptoms. Between 6% and 10% of persons infected with the virus will become carriers and will be able to infect others without knowing it.
• A considerable proportion of chronic hepatitis B (HBV) patients are in the inactive carrier state, which is characterised by normal transaminase levels, limited viral replication, and little liver necroinflammatory activity. After at least one year of frequent monitoring, a diagnosis is made, and lifelong follow-up is required to ensure that this status is maintained.
• In case there is no improvement in HBVDNA levels, consult your expert but do not stop the medication on your own.
• Drugs prescribed such as Tafero (tenofovir) acts by ceasing the production of new viruses, blocks or slows viral proliferation in human cells, and eliminates the infection and also boost the level of CD4 cells (white blood cells that fight infection) in your blood. Entaliv (entecavir) acts by inhibiting the viral replications processes like reverse transcription, DNA replication and transcription.
• Seek the advice of a hepatologist so that your treatment may be adjusted according to your specific needs and preferences.

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.

I have stomach pain after a two day water fast it comes and goes. It can start up if I lay down on my left side.
Male | 26
Gastritis, an irritation of the stomach lining, seems likely. Fasting may have contributed to this issue. The pain is usually a dull ache that comes and goes. Lying on your left side might worsen it because of your stomach's position. To manage this, try eating small, frequent meals for a while. Avoid spicy or acidic foods for a few days. If the pain continues, consult a gastroenterologist.
