It appears that your boyfriend may have an upset stomach after consuming a large number of multivitamin tablets that contain iron. Black, icky, tar-like poop and abdominal tenderness are indicative of possibly internal bleeding. The situation could have been aggravated considering he ingested Adderall, skipped meals, and drank alcohol. He must seek immediate medical attention.

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.

An increase in the level of CA 199 causes an alarm. You will get the most thorough examination if you consult a specialist. However, because CA 199 levels can be associated with certain gastrointestinal conditions, you may want to make an appointment with a gastroenterologist as well.

Female | 25

There are many causes of this. It may be gas. It could also be indigestion. Or it could be a stomach bug. Sometimes, it might be menstrual cramps. Or you could be constipated. Drink lots of water. Eat small meals. Do not eat spicy foods. If the pain does not go away, you should see a gastroenterologist.

I am a 25 year old male having stomach pains early this morning. I am throwing up, nauseous, constant pain in stomach, slight constipation, hurts to move around and hurts to touch my stomach

Male | 25

Quite often such symptoms indicate the existence of gastritis. Gastritis is a condition of the stomach caused by the inflammation of the lining. Some of the reasons for this can be depression, alcohol, or drugs. To get rid of your condition, you can stop the use of spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeine, with the possibility of over-the-counter remedies. Keep well hydrated and try to get the rest you need. Another option will be to consult a gastroenterologist if the symptoms get worse or last for a long time.

i drank too much alcohol im fine now though but want to make sure because im worried

Male | 21

After ingesting a large quantity of alcohol, it is fundamental to introspect about your body. Are you feeling better now? That's good! Most of the time, common symptoms of drinking too much include headache, nausea, and feeling tired. Heavy drinking can lead to damage to the liver and brain. For the sake of the body's recovery, water should be maintained high, healthy foods have to be eaten, and some rest should be taken.

Male | 59

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

I am 32 year old mate who has had stomach pain on his lower left side of his stomach for around a year. My stools the last few weeks are like a yellow colour and not very solid. I’ve had a colonoscopy done and come back fine

Male | 32

You have been dealing with a lower left-sided bellyache near your stomach for a year now. If you've also noticed yellow, pasty stools, it could be a sign of an underlying issue. Even if your colonoscopy results were normal, it’s important to talk to your doctor about these new symptoms. The cause might be related to your pancreas or liver. Make sure to inform a gastroenterologist about all your symptoms so they can provide the proper evaluation and treatment.

My throat has been hurting really bad and my stomach is experiencing sharp pains. I don't think I have a fever.

Female | 19

A sore throat and stomach pains have varied reasons. It might signal a viral infection, perhaps a cold or flu. Acid reflux sometimes brings those troubles too. Sip warm water flavored with honey and lemon to ease discomfort. Rest well and avoid spicy cuisine temporarily. However, if symptoms linger, see a gastroenterologist could prove wise.

Male | 25

These signs may be caused by stress, anxiety, or a medical issue. It’s good that you’ve tried Brahmi and Ashwagandha but stomach problems are worrisome. I advise seeing a gastroenterologist to consider other solutions that could make you feel better. Techniques for managing stress as well as relaxation exercises might also help.

Female | 19

You seem to be having some discomfort in your digestive system and itching all over. These symptoms can arise from a variety of causes, including food intolerances, allergies, or even stress that can be followed. You might be in a position to differentiate triggers if you keep a food diary. In terms of itching, you could try using light moisturizers and avoiding hot showers. A gastroenterologist will perform some exams and give you the most suitable and individualized advice.

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.

My problem is Gas problems

Male | 26

Feeling bloated or gassy? It happens when there's excess air in your gut. You may burp, pass gas, and feel stuffed. Eat slowly, and skip carbonated drinks and gum-chewing can help. Certain foods like beans and cabbage produce more gas so for the time being avoid these food. For persisting symptoms visit a gastroenterologist.

I am a teenage female. Late last night my stomach started to hurt and throughout the night it got progressively worse. The pain is in the upper right abdomen and it radiates towards the top middle too. I’ve taken Advil but it won’t go away. What should I do?

Female | 15

You might have an issue with your gallbladder on the information I have got. It is in the upper right side of the stomach. The area on your right hip with either an inflamed or stone gallbladder might give you severe pain that will sometimes get worse and affect the upper portions of your body. Pain-healing medications like Advil will not be very effective for this type of situation. Consult your doctor for proper diagnosis and examination to get a cure for your condition.

Female | 16

The symptoms you report, such as blood in the stool, alterations in bowel habits, abdominal pain, headache, nausea, chest pain, and low blood pressure, could signify different things. The reasons behind these symptoms range from infections to inflammatory conditions. From my personal opinion, you should pay attention to these signs and get help from a gastroenterologist immediately.
