Pain under your right rib may indicate trouble with organs like your liver or gallbladder. Perhaps nausea or yellow skin too. Gallstones, inflamed liver, muscle strain - lots could cause it. See a gastroenterologist to know for sure. They'll examine you and recommend the best treatment.

Recurrent Acute pancreatitis. It's 4th time in last 2 years. What precautions should I take ??
Male | 16
Recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis can be concerning. Common symptoms include severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Often, alcohol consumption, gallstones, or certain medications contribute to this condition. To minimize the risk of future flare-ups, maintain a well-balanced diet low in fat, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol. It's vital to monitor your symptoms closely. I strongly suggest consulting a gastroenterologist for a personalized plan and further evaluation.

The problem I’m having is that I had high blood pressure some weeks again and I took drug it goes back to normal some days after I noticed that I’m my stern notch is pulsing whenever I place my finger on it it kinda heavy and also I’m having diarrhea after eating chest pain and sometimes as if something is in my throat and I’m always weak and feel bloated And I did an X-ray on my chest everything is normal
Female | 24
Acid reflux might cause your chest pain. A lump-in-throat sensation, bloating, and diarrhea after meals are signs. Stomach acid flows back up the food pipe. Smaller meals and avoiding spicy or greasy foods help. Don't lie down after eating. Drink lots of water too. This condition is when stomach acid flows up. Visit a gastroenterologist if the problem continues.

Stomach problem related i want a help please
Male | 16
I understand that experiencing digestive issues can be uncomfortable. Common symptoms include bloating, discomfort, nausea, or changes in bowel habits. These problems can arise from various factors such as dietary choices, stress, or infections. To alleviate symptoms, consider maintaining a balanced diet rich in fiber, staying hydrated, and managing stress through relaxation techniques. Avoiding excessive caffeine or fatty foods may also help. If symptoms persist or worsen, it's essential to seek advice from a gastroenterologist. They can offer tailored recommendations and identify any underlying conditions that may require attention.

I'm going through the condition of food allergy and intolerance. Want to seek consultation for same. I've got the tests done ok n advice of my gastroenterologist. Now seeking advice from Immunologist/allergist. Plz let me know incase you can help me.
Female | 41
Sure! You might have food allergies or intolerances, which can make certain foods cause problems like stomach aches, rashes, or trouble breathing. These happen because your body mistakenly thinks some foods are harmful. The best thing to do is avoid these trigger foods. An allergist can help you find out which foods to avoid and how to manage your symptoms.

Male | 19
Fish gallbladders contain toxins that humans can't process. Eating cooked ones may cause stomach issues, nausea, throwing up, and diarrhea. Drink water to flush toxins. See a gastroenterologist if symptoms are bad or continue. Be careful what you eat next time.

I’m 27 years old lady . For the past few days , anytime I eat I feel like the food is stuck in my chest/ throat. And I also have some heat sensation in my stomach. What should I do ?
Female | 27
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of esophageal irritation or reflux, which can lead to the sensation of food sticking and discomfort in the stomach. This may occur due to various factors, such as dietary choices, stress, or even swallowing habits. To alleviate your symptoms, try eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy or fatty foods, and staying upright after eating. It’s also essential to stay hydrated. If these symptoms persist or worsen, I encourage you to consult a gastroenterologist for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment.

Infections or certain medical conditions are the possible causes of diarrhea. When you are already taking rifaximin and still not feeling better, it is crucial to communicate again with your doctor. They can go for more examinations or try other methods to cope with your situation.

I feel something breathing in my lower stomach
Female | 30
You feel a strange movement in your belly, and it's a bit frightening. However, it might be normal body processes occurring. Your intestines could be moving gases through them. Alternatively, muscles contracting can cause that sensation. Consuming meals quickly or certain foods can trigger this feeling. To find relief, try taking smaller bites, sipping water, and eating gentle foods like rice or bananas. Visit a gastroenterologist if the problem persists.

i have thrombased piles 4 th stage.can i cure without surgery
Female | 28
Thrombosed piles, especially at an advanced stage, can cause significant discomfort, including pain, swelling, and bleeding. While lifestyle changes such as a high-fiber diet, increased fluid intake, and regular exercise may alleviate mild symptoms, they might not fully resolve advanced cases. Over-the-counter treatments can offer temporary relief, but it’s essential to approach this condition under a doctor’s guidance. A gastroenterologist can assess your situation thoroughly and discuss the most effective options, which may include non-surgical interventions.

Bleeding accompanied by abdominal pain is the most common type of blood loss and can be caused by hormonal changes, fibroids, or even gastrointestinal issues. Observe all your symptoms. In case the bleeding is quite strong it doesn't stop, or if you feel worse because of the pain, it is advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for proper treatment options.

I have constant gas every night in my belly for the last 3 years and recently my gas has been stuck beside my belly button.
Female | 36
Your belly feels gassy, right around the navel. That bloated sensation stings. Gas frequently results from meals being improperly digested. Rapid eating, chewing gum, carbonated beverages - these worsen it. Slow down while eating, avoid gas-causing foods, and hydrate well. If issues persist, consulting a gastroenterologist provides expert guidance.

Female | 16
The past medical history of jaundice combined with the current symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain point to a possible liver or digestive system disorder. Talk to a gastroentrologist for further diagnosis and treatment

I am 33 year old male 6 feet tall guy experiencing watery loose motion from past 3 days no stomach pain no fever only loose motion
Male | 33
This can happen from a stomach bug or something you ate that your body didn't agree with. It's good that your stomach doesn't hurt and you don't have a fever. Be sure to drink lots of liquid so you don't get dried out. Eat plain things like rice, bananas, and toast. If it keeps up for more than a few days or gets worse, then go see a gastroenterologist.

Hello, i did some blood work yesterday, all other parameters came normal but some are out of range my ALT is 85,AST 62 BUN 4.9, i have anxiety issue since long, and some mild gas, should i worry about this?
Female | 29
A little high on the ALT and AST while low on the BUN could mean liver or kidney trouble. Although anxiety and gas may not specifically connect the two, they could exacerbate the symptoms. It is important to speak with a gastroenterologist for a clearer understanding, and the way forward for your health.

Your report suggests a difficult cystic area at the spleen and some kidney adjustments to imply mild effects. That doesn’t mean we should not be concerned by these discoveries. For instance, many of those cystic lesions also need further investigation. The kidneys also might be affected by aging and other variables. A medical check-up with your gastroenterologist is required to discuss these results. They will likely recommend further scans or tests to clarify things.

Incomplete bowel movement. The stool is either runny, balls or very sticky. Constant stomach pain especially when just woke up from a sleep/nap. It's been happening for over a year now. Sometimes can't evacuate at all even if I want. Green tea or hot drinks sometimes help and sometimes makes it worst
Other | 18
Inconsistent stool consistency, along with pain, can be linked to various factors, such as diet, hydration, stress, or gastrointestinal issues. It's great to hear that certain warm beverages offer some relief, but if symptoms persist, it’s essential to identify the underlying cause. Maintaining a balanced diet rich in fiber, staying hydrated, and managing stress can be helpful. However, given that this has been ongoing for over a year, I recommend consulting a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation and tailored guidance.

Male | 54
It seems like your H. pylori infection, past small gut surgery, and high blood pressure may be behind it all. The hurt could mean swelling, ulcers, or other problems down there. Make sure to tell your doctor about the latest hospital trips and how bad the ache is. They might want to run some more tests or change up your meds to help ease the pain.
