For severe constipation, especially with your long-term diabetes, it's important to address this carefully. Overuse of laxatives like Laxet can worsen the problem. Increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and regular exercise can help. However, for immediate relief and to ensure it's safe given your medical history, please consult a gastroenterologist. They can provide appropriate treatment and manage any underlying issues.

What is normal level of lipase

Male | 17

An individual can find the chubby substance-dissolving macromolecule in this system. It commonly breaks down between 0 to 160 units per liter when it is in a healthy person’s bloodstream. Having a high level of lipase can indicate something wrong with your pancreas. Some signs that someone has too much lipase may include pain in their stomach or feeling sick; they might also have a fever, etc.

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.

Female | 37

The issues could be connected to the medicine you were given. In truth, sometimes Escitalopram, also called Nexito, is capable of causing side effects such as tingling sensation and sleeping disorders to the patients who take it. Inform the doctor and be involved in the treatment process.

I have eaten Kirkland multivitamin gummies more than 8 in one day since 3 days I am feeling like symptoms of nausea dizziness stomach upset pain in ribs getting anger easily changing in mood swings . What to do now

Female | 17

Taking too many gummy vitamins can cause issue­s. Exceeding the sugge­sted dose leads to vitamin ove­rload - nausea, dizziness, stomach upset, rib pain, and mood change­s may occur. To recover, stop the gummie­s and drink lots of water. This flushes exce­ss vitamins out. Eat a balanced diet for natural nutrient intake­. If symptoms continue or worsen, consult a doctor.

Male | 19

Overeating can cause your stomach to feel uncomfortable, which is called indigestion. Some of these symptoms can be caused by eating fatty foods like burgers and fries, as well as drinking alcohol on an empty stomach. To feel better, if you want drink water, eat light foods, and rest.

's burning me from the inside out. What can I take? I tried baking soda but I use 2tbs instead of half a teaspoon and have been having extreme burning and pain in my body and rectum for a year it's getting worse. I eat a strict diet and I work etc so in general after I eat it or when I wake up it's on fire supplements I take charcoal tablets because I have constipation so I feel like because my bowls are t emptying the toxins are causing inflammation to flare up. I take a leaky gut powder, creatine, anxiety medication the generic version of Lexapro 10 mg a mood stabilizer 150 mg, and propanol as needed. Recently my doctor put me on omeprazole. I take mushrooms turmeric

Female | 29

It seems you may have severe acid reflux if your doctor gave you a prescription for omeprazole. Your symptoms can get worse if you take too much baking soda. The burning feeling means there could be too much acid in your stomach and esophagus. Always take all drugs and supplements according to the instructions on the label. Also, remember to write down what you eat and how it makes you feel then raise any questions with your doctor.

Hi, I am a healthy 54 year old male. I have been doing some routine annual lab tests near my home, where they do comprehensive labs for check-up. I have been doing it for several years, and everything is basically normal. However, I just received a lab result, CA 19-9, which is elevated (44), normal is below 34. I actually had this lab test CA 19-9 way back in 7/2022, when the level was 12 (normal). Then I had it in annual testing on 9/2023, and it was 25 (but within normal limits). In the past 6-12 months, I have had normal lactate and amylase levels too. Also, all my other blood test from yesterday were normal, including liver function test (and normal bilirubin), normal CBC, normal CEA level, normal amylase, normal sedimentation rate, normal TSH, normal blood chemistry. Of note, I also had a normal DNA stool test (cologuard) 3 years ago. I also had normal FIT stool test 2 months ago, and also last year (twice it was normal). I have no symptoms and no weight loss, and no signs of jaundice. I am not overweight either, and I do not smoke nor drink alcohol. And no one in my family has had cancer before. As I mentioned, this was incidental, but I would like to know your opinion if this is ominous, and next steps. I have schedule a full body MRI scan for next week too. Thank you.
