Answered on 6th Aug '24
It sounds like you're experiencing severe acid reflux, which can cause pain in the upper abdomen. This happens when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus, leading to discomfort. To help manage this, try avoiding spicy and fatty foods, eat smaller meals, and remain upright after eating. You might also consider taking antacids or acid reducers. If the pain persists, it's best to consult a gastroenterologist.

You may be experiencing something that needs careful attention, especially if the pain is spreading and causing dizziness or forgetfulness. These symptoms could be due to several reasons, such as digestive issues, nerve-related concerns, or even a gynecological condition. Please visit a gastroenterologist or consult with a gynecologist for a detailed check-up and the right advice.

Vaping at a young age can harm your body, leading to symptoms like sickness, shaking, and persistent stomach problems due to the chemicals in vapes. It's good that you've noticed a connection between vaping and your symptoms. Quitting vaping and smoking is the best choice for your health. Give your body time to heal, and focus on healthy habits like eating well, staying hydrated, and exercising. If your stomach problems continue, consult a gastroenterologist for advice.

Hi, I have been throwing up everytime I eat, have bad pain above my belly button and habe really bad trapped burps and bloating, my poo is also yellow, blood tests habe come back fine, not sure what it could be
Female | 21
Your symptoms of vomiting, pain around the belly button, trapped burps, and yellowness may be related to a condition called gastritis. Gastritis is often caused by excessive stomach acid or a bacterial infection and can lead to these symptoms. Eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy foods, and taking antacids can help relieve the discomfort. If your symptoms continue, it's important to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Hi so I took omeprazole for 1 month because of GERD, now I’m off it and back on Vyvanse but my vyvanse doesn’t work at all after the omeprazole, it doesn’t activate, how come?
Male | 27
Omeprazole decreases the bioavailability of Vyvanse by blocking its uptake.
For the GERD, it is recommended to see a gastroenterologist for its management and psychiatrist in case of prescribing Vyvanse.

IBS is a disorder that affects the digestive system and can be triggered by stress, certain foods, or medications. To help manage your symptoms, consider avoiding trigger foods like spicy or fatty foods and try adding more fiber to your diet. Drinking enough water and managing stress through relaxation exercises can also be helpful. If these tips don't work, it might be helpful to talk to a gastroenterologist.

Is there excess urine in the fatty liver? If there is, then why is it so?
Male | 18
Excess urine is not usually a symptom of liver cysts. However, people with fatty liver sometimes experience metabolic issues, causing them to retain fluids in their tissues and potentially leading to reduced urine output. For a healthy liver, it's essential to eat a nutritious diet, stay active, and limit alcohol consumption.

Gastrointestinal problem

If your stomach is painful, aching, or swollen, it might be a gastrointestinal disorder. It can be due to the fast eating, low fiber in the diet, and the stress. The foremost solution can be eating more slowly having ample water with the fruits and veggies dose as possible and involving activities like deep breathing or exercise for stress from the appearance of this symptom.

I have a pain in the lower right side of my stomach. It feels palpable. It's been a day. Does it indicate any major problem?
Male | 36
The pain if it is stretched can be caused by different reasons like gas, constipation, or even the inflammation of a small infection. Sometimes, the pain can last for one or two days and then disappear on its own. However, if the pain becomes more severe, or you experience other symptoms such as fever or vomiting, consult a gastroenterologist for further instructions.

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to discuss my ongoing gastrointestinal issues that have persisted despite my recent surgery for chronic constipation and rectal prolapse. I underwent a laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy, but I am still experiencing significant problems related to anal hypotension and hypocontractility, as well as prolonged Balloon Expulsion Test (BET) results indicative of Type 1 Dyssynergia. Despite the surgical intervention, I continue to struggle with inadequate anal sphincter tone and a reduced ability to contract effectively. These issues have led to ongoing difficulties with bowel control and frequent episodes of constipation. The prolonged BET results suggest that my pelvic floor muscles are still not coordinating properly during bowel movements. Given my history and the current symptoms, I would greatly appreciate your expertise in identifying the next steps for management. Specifically, I am interested in exploring options such as pelvic floor rehabilitation, biofeedback therapy, or any further diagnostic evaluations that may be necessary to address these issues effectively. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your guidance on how we can best proceed to improve my condition.
Male | 60
These issues might be due to problems with the pelvic floor muscles not functioning properly during bowel movements. Pelvic floor rehabilitation could help by improving muscle coordination and strength in the pelvic area, potentially aiding in better bowel control. Another option is biofeedback therapy, which uses sensors to teach you how to coordinate your muscles during bowel movements. Discuss these options with your medical team to find the best approach for you. Additional diagnostic tests might be needed to understand the situation better.

My advice would be to see a registered dietician, who could develop an individualized nutrition plan based on your needs and high blood sugar levels. Moreover, you should adhere to the doctor's directions about insulin dosage and timing as well as accurately measure your blood sugar level. In case of any doubts concerning your gall bladder surgery, consult a gastroenterologist

Lately I have been gaseous , my stomach is growling, am nauseous , belching a lot , a popping sound in my stomach , most times I have constipation them switch to diarrhea, belly is bloated , I pass gas regularly , and have a bad taste on my mouth at times What could be the cause ?
Female | 20
You might have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. IBS causes bloating, gas, tummy pain, constipation, diarrhea, and bowel habit changes. The reason for IBS isn't fully known. Stress, some foods, or hormonal shifts may trigger it. Managing IBS needs eating healthy foods, reducing stress, and possibly taking doctor-prescribed medicines to ease symptoms. IBS can be tough, but making lifestyle adjustments may help control it. Don't hesitate to consult a gastroenterologist for guidance on managing your symptoms effectively.

This kind of pain can be caused by things like indigestion, ulcers, or acid reflux. You need to take notice of your other possible symptoms such as bloating or nausea. It is possible however that the doctors prescribe you medication to help with the side effects due to the bacterial infections, adding natural products as a secondary instance to relieve you of this ailment. You may find that eating smaller meals and steering clear of spicy or greasy food causes discomfort, and eventually, it may disappear. If the pain is still there, then you should see 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.
