Why is my 36-week pregnant diarrhea yellow and black?
i am a 19 year old female currently about to be 36 weeks pregnant and for the past week ive had horrible diarrhea i did have fevers but they stopped two days ago now only the diarrhea remains and its only gotten worse it seems. ive been to urget care and my obgyn but they haven’t given me the answers im looking for, waiting on some test to come back. my question is my diarrhea has been bright yellow and its been every other hour. since my fever went down ive started getting pain in my stomach everytime i get up and move mainly due to needing to go to the bathroom ( baby is completely fine says the doctors and i do feel her moving the same as before) when i go to use the bathroom its like i cannot get it out only little bits of the diarrhea and now today it is black. so far its like every ten or so minutes my stomach starts hurting and i need to go back but its so swollen and has started to bleed a little bit from so much diarrhea that it really hurts but yet barley any comes out should i try a stool softener?

Bright yellow diarrhea may indicate bile in your stool, while black diarrhea can suggest stomach bleeding. These symptoms could be due to infections or other medical issues that need attention. In my opinion, using a stool softener may not be ideal at this time. It's important to continue following your doctor's advice closely.

I have long term chronic constipation Weight loss depression anxiety and nervousness
Male | 24
You’re having a tough time with chronic constipation, weight loss, depression, anxiety, and nervousness. These symptoms may be related. Being constipated all the time can make you feel low and edgy, plus it may affect your weight. Ensure you have plenty of fluids such as water and eat foods that are high in fiber so that you can keep regular. Moreover, tell somebody how you feel because this might help reduce the feelings of anxiety or depression.

Female | 17
This can be a life threatening issue. If you have accidentally ingested a coin even if there are no symptoms, it is recommended to a doctor. The location and position of the coin can be detected by conducting an X-ray. Therefore, a visit to the gastroenterologist is recommended for further evaluation and treatment.

I am DEV from Delhi my age is 21 year old. I have stomache its kind a pain at touch never goes away from 2 months i got ct scan usg xray every report is normal i have gas problem i am so much in depression for my health kindly help me
Male | 21
Dealing with stomach troubles for two months can be tough, but the good news is that your tests are all clear! However, your ongoing pain and gas might still be caused by gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or even anxiety. Gas buildup can make things uncomfortable, so it's a good idea to watch your diet—avoid gassy foods like beans, fizzy drinks, and dairy for now. Exercise can also help relieve gas discomfort. Don't forget to manage stress, as anxiety can worsen stomach issues. Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing and meditation. If these changes don't help, it's best to revisit your gastroenterologist.

Sir my mother is suffering from loose motions since 6 months she is going to laterine approx 50 times in a day.
Female | 60
Going to the bathroom fifty times a day is not normal. This may signify a health issue that requires immediate care. It could be the case that loose motions for a long time may be as a result of infections, food intolerances, or inflammation in the gut. It is crucial to consult a gastroenterologist immediately to find out the exact reason and to start the right treatment.

Gastrointestinal problem
Male | 25
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. If you don't get any better results, consult a gastroenterologist for additional guidance.

Whenever I masterbate, my spine hurts, I have trouble breathing, my stomach doesn't clear, I have gallstones.
Male | 29
Body signals should be cared for. The stress in your body is shown by your spinal pain, difficulty breathing, upset stomach, and gallstones when you are doing masturbation. However, it's important to stress that your body is the one you should notice and not these signs that are sometimes ignored. The next step can be to approach a gastroenterologist to discuss these symptoms in more detail.

I feel vomit and stomachache when eating Bp low an shiver at night Weakness Loss appetite
Male | 21
You might have a stomach bug. Feeling nauseous, abdominal pain, low blood pressure, night chills, fatigue, or lack of appetite indicate this. A virus likely causes it. Rest, stay hydrated, eat plain foods like toast or crackers to settle your stomach. If no improvement in a few days, seek medical help.

Female | 27
Feeling bloated after eating can happen sometimes. It might mean you ate too fast or didn't chew enough. Maybe certain foods upset your stomach. Try chewing slowly and drinking lots of water to help digest better. Stay away from foods that bother you. If it keeps happening, talk to a gastroenterologist about it.

I am 34 years old My pancreas has been damaged
Male | 34
When the pancreas is injured, it can cause all sorts of problems. You may have terrible tummy aches, throw up a lot, and lose weight without trying to. A damaged pancreas could be the result of gallstones, or too much alcohol, or it might just run in your family. Eating well and staying away from booze is important. A gastroenterologist could prescribe some pills that would help you out and they might also recommend that you go on a special diet to make your pancreas feel better.

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.

I'm a 24-year-old guy and have been suffering from stomach issues for several years. To begin with, I should mention that before 2-3 years ago, I never had any problems of this kind. I remember vomiting only once or twice when I was a child. However, 2-3 years ago, after a bout of oyster poisoning, I started experiencing episodes of dyspepsia at least once a month, despite maintaining a generally healthy and balanced diet. Following the incident 2-3 years ago, I visited multiple gastroenterologists who examined me but never wanted to go beyond an ultrasound, which they always said looked fine. They concluded that the problem is functional. After discovering my lactose intolerance, I learned to avoid lactose, but unfortunately, I still feel unwell 1-2 times a week. It starts with a bit of diarrhea and then nausea, which I try to alleviate with Biochetasi and other products like baking soda and lemon, but I still go through tough hours. Tonight's episode was particularly severe, and I don't know how to resolve this!!

This happens when you get stressed, eat certain things (or have been infected by something). Keep an eye on what you’ve been eating about when these symptoms show up by writing them down in a food diary. Also, talk to a gastroenterologist about what else they could do to treat it or if there are any other dietary changes you should make that might help relieve some discomforts associated with this condition.

I have throat burning sensation since 2 months and not able to take spicy sour food …
Female | 34
You've been feeling a burning sensation in your throat for 2 months, which could be due to acid reflux. This happens when stomach acid comes back up into the food pipe, irritating the throat. It's a good idea to avoid spicy and sour foods for now. Try eating smaller meals, avoid lying down right after eating, and raise the head of your bed slightly. Drinking plenty of water might also help. If the symptoms don't improve, it would be wise to visit a gastroenterologist for further examination and treatment options.

I'm using Hyoscine butyibromide tablets. I want to ask if I can use Ibuprofen with it
Female | 23
The butyl bromide compound Hyoscine butyl bromide is good for treating stomach or intestinal problems, while Ibuprofen provides relief for pain and inflammation. If you need it, it is generally safe to take them together. Nonetheless, you should always consult with your pharmacist or doctor before associating any medicines together.

Sir ab stomach pain hone laga h chale nahi h . Aisa kyu
Male | Ankit
The symptoms you have could be the digestive issues you are having or the changes in your body after surgery. Stomach upset can occur since the body is getting used to the absence of a gall bladder. Mouth sores might be connected to the changes in your digestion affecting your oral health. Eating small, frequent meals, avoiding fatty or spicy foods, and staying hydrated may help. Nevertheless, you should consult a gastroenterologist for individualized guidance.

I have watery diarrhoea after antibiotics from last 3 days and also I’m taking novidat and flagyl but it didn’t work what should I do I’m feeling weakness
Female | 29
This happens because antibiotics disturb good gut bacteria. You took Novidat and Flagyl, but since they did not work, stay hydrated. Eat bland food like rice, bananas, toast. If symptoms persist, contact a gastroenterologist urgently.

Female | 52
It looks like you’ve had a gallstone for a while now, and it has made your gallbladder stretch. Normally, gallstones bring pain, nausea, and yellowing of your skin. If you don’t have any symptoms, you might not need immediate treatment. You should have a nutritious diet and visit your doctor for regular check-ups.

Male | 30
Indigestion, gastritis, or even infections are a few causes of stomach pain. Also, do you feel still full whether you ate or not, vomit, or have changes in your stool patterns? When the complaint persists, one should take little space food, not eat anything with pepper, and water the body with a lot of water. If the discomfort lingers, please consult a gastroenterologist as soon as your schedule allows.
