Stomach and rib pains can have different causes like gas, indigestion, or muscle strain. These can happen due to your diet, stress, or physical activities. To feel better, try to eat slowly, avoid spicy foods, and manage stress with relaxation techniques. If the pain lasts a long time or gets worse, it's important to see a gastroenterologist for a check-up.

These symptoms could be a stomach bug. When there's severe stomach ache, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever, a stomach infection may occur. Drinking a lot of water to stay hydrated, eating simple foods, and getting enough rest is important. If it doesn't improve, you may need to see a gastroenterologist to help you out.

i drank too luch alcohol but am fine now but am concerned
Male | 21
Alcohol can harm people and be sometimes dangerous because drinking too much will make your body spin. If you drank too much but are now okay, that's good news. But, sometimes too much drinking can cause things like a spinning mind, nausea, and feeling sick. Don't forget to drink water, take a break, and eat healthy foods to help your body recover.

Hello, here rupa and my problem is im suffering from GERD problem how to rid from this problem ,and how many time does it take to control my acidity. What is the medicine?
Female | 30
You have GERD, where stomach acid goes back into the food pipe and causes discomfort. Symptoms of GERD include heartburn, chest pain, and a sore throat. To reduce the intensity you may use smaller quantities of food. Antacids or proton pump inhibitors also affect stomach acids, so when needed, these medications are advised to be taken. Determining the right course of action may be lengthy and difficult for you. But with your commitment and those new lifestyle changes, you may feel many improvements.

I have white stool with no abdominal pain and always thirsty like nothing feeding my thirst
Male | 23
Bowel motions' shade shouldn't be white - that indicates issues. Excessive thirst also signals something's not right. Pale stools could mean liver trouble or gallbladder woes. You may be dehydrated. Or it might signal diabetes or another condition. See a gastroenterologist promptly to identify and resolve the underlying cause.

I'm 23 years old male and I'm suffering from stomach issue.. Whenever i eat something i start suffering from bloating and diarrhea. It has not cured yet. What should i do I took rifadox 550 bt its of no use either.
Male | 23
You might be suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This condition leads to bloating and diarrhea after meals. Foods that are fatty, contain dairy products or gluten may set it off. Try to stay away from these kinds of foods. When you are stressed out it can also make the situation worse so take it easy on yourself and do some light exercises like walking. Drinking lots of water will help with loose stool relief too. I would recommend going to see a gastroenterologist who can provide further evaluation & treatment options.

I am 19 years old female, I know that i have a sensitive gut but 15-20 days back, I was traveling and eating a lot of junk yet processed food and at restaurants. I ate out for almost 4 days. Later on I ate large amounts of noodles of maida. Like really too much. And after a week or so till today I have been facing issue clearing stomach, also my poop is not very long, its sometimes short and it's not too thin. Sometimes it's in bits and pieces. Sometimes it's circular or curved. Sometimes I comes out at one go in pieces. I googled and I got a lot scared. What should I do? I am not that rich too. Google says to go for colonoscopy and all. I am really scared. I sometimes get this weird side stitch too.
Female | 19
The reason why your stomach is upset is the different foods you eat. These changes in your poop may be due to your diet. Eating a large amount of noodles can be heavy on the stomach and be difficult to digest. This may be why you also feel a side-stitch. Sticking to healthy, simple foods like fruits and vegetables is an excellent way to assist your stomach. Besides, drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration. Allow your tummy some time to settle down. If your symptoms persist, it would be a good idea to consult with a gastroenterologist. But for now, concentrate on gentle, nutritious foods and enough water to make your gut feel better.

I'm having anal fissure and spasm and it's very painful and itchy
Female | 20
You tear the skin around your butt when you have an anal fissure. Passing a hard stool can do it or having the runs can too. This causes pain, itching, and spasms. To ease the discomfort, use creams or ointments. You should also try eating more fiber and drinking plenty of water so that your stool is soft.

I am 34 years old. I have stomach burnt and sometimes lower back burning & feet burning. And I am also coughing, I did X-ray, scan and ECG also hiv test. My hiv status is negative, all my x-Ray, ECG and scan results are perfect according to my health care.
Male | 34
Even though your HIV test, X-ray, ECG, and scan appear fine, it’s important to rule out more serious problems. Conditions such as acid reflux, nerve problems or lung issues could cause these symptoms. Lifestyle changes such as not eating spicy food; sitting up straighter than usual; drinking enough fluids every day etcetera might help relieve them. If they persist then please return for further evaluation from a gastroenterologist.

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?
Male | 23
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.

Iam 38 year old male iam consuming ibrufen 400 mg ofloxacin 200 mg amlodine 5 mg shall I take alcohol after how many hours of gap
Male | 38
Avoiding the interaction of alcohol with these medications is essential. The risk of a stomach bleed and low blood pressure can be amplified by alcohol when taken with ibuprofen and amlodipine, whilst dizziness and drowsiness can worsen with ofloxacin and alcohol. It is wiser to refrain from alcohol for at least 24 hours after your last dose to ensure there are no harmful interactions.

My weight has decreased by 15 to 16 kg since last 2 months and now I don't even feel hungry but when I eat anything, I feel a burning sensation in my stomach and there is difficulty in eating anything and there is pain in the soles of my feet. There is always pain and vibration, what should I do?
Male | 34
You might have some issues with your digestion. The loss of weight, no desire for food, feeling of burning in the stomach, difficulty in eating, and pain in the feet could all be connected. Gastritis or ulcers may be causing this. Eating small and frequent meals that are light on the stomach could help. Also drinking more water, and dealing with stress. If these signs continue it is important to see a gastroenterologist so they can diagnose properly and give suitable treatment.
