I am a 59 years old, weigh 120 and 5'6". I am having an issue when I eat something one night everything is fine but I eat leftovers the next night and I get bloating, gas, diarrhea and stomach ache. This does not happen all the time but often enough I have try keeping a food diary but that not working very well because I eat something and nothing happens but next time I eat the same thing I get bloating, gas, diarrhea and stomach ache. I tried the FODMAP diet but some of the food they recommend have caused the issues. So I asked Dr. if they could arrange a test for food intolerant test. I was there is not one.

According to your symptoms of bloating, gas, diarrhea and stomach pain after consuming the leftovers you most likely have cases of food poison or intolerance. Generally, it is better to seek advice from a specialist and undergo testing in order to determine the root of your symptoms. In the meantime, follow simple diet

Hi am an 18 year old, female. I have had some rectal bleeding when going to the toilet, like three times. It stops quickly and i dont think it is much blood. Ehat should i do
Female | 18
Often, discomfort with your production can happen due to minor reasons such as swollen blood vessels in the rectum and igniting hemorrhoids. It could also be a sign of a major disease, like an infection or inflammatory bowel disease. Visit and take help from a gastroenterologist.

I take opioids for recreational use and also for anxiety. They have been a life saver for me. But now all of a sudden I am experiencing extreme constipation. It is worth nothing I've had chronic constipation issues my whole life pretty much. I took 2 glasses of MiraLax and 3 Dulcolax stimulant laxatives.
Male | 23
Opioids are known to cause constipation by slowing down intestinal movement. Chronic constipation can lead to further complications if not addressed. Taking MiraLax and Dulcolax was a good start, but it's also important to drink plenty of water and eat high-fiber foods to help improve the condition. Additionally, including light exercise, like walking or yoga, in your routine can be beneficial. If the constipation persists, it would be a good idea to consult a gastroenterologist for further advice and support.

Male | 22
Cyra-D can give rise to some issues when chewing it. This might cause symptoms such as stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Drinking plenty of water will help rinse it off. If you still feel unwell or experience any serious symptoms, such as shortness of breath or severe pain, it is important to seek help immediately by going to the hospital.

After on time taking meal still feel weakness and feel taste bitter and after having extra food still feel weakness no engry to do anything ...
Female | 20
You might have a condition called indigestion. Symptoms include weakness, a bitter taste in your mouth, and lack of energy even after eating a meal. Overeating is another factor that can make it worse. To get better, you should eat smaller meals, and non-spicy food, and not lie down right after eating. Avoiding late-night snacks can also be a nice decision since it will help you relieve symptoms.

Male | 31
You are probably suffering from hyperthyroidism. In simple terms, your thyroid gland is overactive, thus, your body produces too much heat. The symptoms include digestion issues, feeling too hot, eye swelling, and cold hands and feet. To get help, you should visit a gastroenterologist who can provide treatment to balance your thyroid hormones and improve your symptoms.

You could have appendicitis. Your appendix is infected, causing constant pain on the lower right side. Dizziness, high fever, poor appetite, weakness - those symptoms suggest appendicitis. Your infected appendix needs surgical removal immediately, or complications may arise. Visit a gastroenterologist.

Heartburn, stomach discomfort, and swelling under the chest could be due to issues like acid reflux or gastritis. However, chest pain and swelling can also be linked to more serious conditions. It's important to visit a gastroenterologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

My father is having treatment of hepatic abscess from 10 days through antibiotic today he has fever of 100 degree why. Last year in October he had an angioplasty
Male | 76
A fever of 100 degrees could mean the antibiotic is not working well against the infection in his liver. Having an angioplasty last year may also be responsible for him being more predisposed to infections. He might need a different antibiotic or more tests to find out if the abscess is not getting worse. For this reason, contacting a gastroenterologist for advice is essential.

Sir, I am having stomach problem since last one year and my weight is also decreasing a lot and my hair is falling very fast.
Male | 25
A year-long stomach problem might be causing your weight and hair loss. Poor nutrient absorption due to infection or digestive disorder could lead to these symptoms. Consulting a doctor for testing and treatment is crucial. Maintaining a nutritious diet and stress management might also aid recovery. However, you should seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist promptly for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.

I have pian in stomach and also have loose motion what can I do what type of medicine I have to deacribed
Female | 24
A stomach virus or something you’ve eaten could be causing these symptoms. Drink lots of fluids to keep yourself hydrated and eat plain foods such as rice and toast until you start to feel better. You can also take an over-the-counter medication like Imodium AD if necessary for relief from loose stools. It might help if you avoid spicy or fatty foods while resting. Make sure to visit a gastroenterologist if this doesn’t go away.

I have gall stone of size 7/8 mm .sgot and sgpt normal. Direct bilirubin 0.47 and indirect 2.75 total 3.22 .gall stone not symptomatic but sometimes slow pain in belly. How i reduce bilirubin level to normal and stones removal without gall bladder removal .
Male | 47
You have gallstones, and your bilirubin levels are high. Gallstones can cause belly pain, and high bilirubin occurs when the liver doesn't break down red blood cells properly. To lower bilirubin, eat balanced meals, avoid fatty foods, and stay hydrated. Medications can also help. While removing gallstones without surgery is difficult, endoscopic procedures can break them down. Talk to a gastroenterologist to find the best treatment option for you.

I was feeling unwell, was given some anti malarial, not much change, later typhoid was suspected, but I didn't do a test. I've been on ciproflaxacin, I feel like going for a blood check up but it might not work since I've been on medicine, am asking for advice
Male | 20
It seems that dealing with a complex situation. Being sick and taking drugs can lead to inaccurate results of a blood test. Knowing exactly what is wrong is necessary for the right treatment. Symptoms of fever, stomach ache and general body weakness are common in both malaria and typhoid. Failing to go through the test may complicate matters further. My advice is to wait for some days after completion of the ciprofloxacin course before going for a blood test. This will enable you to get clearer results about your health status.

I have had blood and mucus in my stools for over a month now. Sometimes more blood is present than others. Most of the times the blood is mixed in with the stool other times it's mixed in and there are mucus blood clots floating in the water. Is this something I should be immediately concerned with.
Male | 56
It may be due to various reasons, including less serious conditions like hemorrhoids or infections, it could also be a sign of more serious issues such as inflammatory bowel disease or gastrointestinal bleeding. Consult a gastroenterologist preferably from a good hospital for a thorough evaluation, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment.

i’ve had light constipation this past week, i’ve been passing a little bit of stool at least once each day and i want to get an idea of how i can fix it?
Female | 17
You have mild constipation. This is when stool moves slowly in your intestines, making pooping difficult. Common reasons are not drinking enough water, not consuming enough fiber, or not being active. To fix this, drink more water. Eat fruits and vegetables. Move your body by walking or exercising regularly. Constipation makes bowel movements difficult. Mild cases can be alleviated with simple lifestyle changes.

gastic problem & worms coming through urine
Female | 36
Worms, which should be parasitic, are the ones that should be seen in the urine. These parasites can gain access through cancerous foods and water. Abdominal pain, diarrhea, and urine without worms can be signs of such a condition. You should consult a gastroenterologist for a correct diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Most often, deworming medication is used to handle this.

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 done with my piles surgery two week back through laser surgery it was reached its 4th stage now after two week it's still swelling feeling like does my piles hit back or what . Or it is normal to have lump like swelling after went through laser surgery
Female | 24
The swelling may come up as your body heals. In some cases, a small lump may be created, which will be similar to the piles that are coming back. It's usually one of the healing mechanisms. You should always wash the site and strictly follow your physician's orders. If you have any doubts, it's always a good idea to talk to your gastroenterologist.
