Hello, I am a 19yo male. Months ago, I had some neurological symptoms and went to hospital. There, a blood test showed that I had really low B12 vitamin (under 90 pg/mL). I had some shots to increase B12 levels and hospital adviced me to go to GP and have gastroscopy and colonoscopy to find the cause of the deficiency, because it was not normal at that age to have that low b12 levels. So, the days I was taking the B12 shots and planning to go to a GP, I had some bowel symptoms, including changes in stool size (small-thin and rounded / however not hard to pass), and rarely a little blood on them. When I went to the GP, I told him the whole story and told me that I had to do some other blood tests first to see if there is any gastric inflammation and then we would see if endoscopy is needed. After doing several blood tests (ECR, CRP, etc..) and faecal calprotectin test, GP told me that results were normal and did not show any inflammation in stomach or colon, so no endoscopy was needed. He told me that these symptoms were from functional gastrointestinal disorders and hemmorhoids. All of these happened like 6 months before. Now, I still have small-thin and rounded stools (rarely i pass normal stools but most of times they are like that) - blood is very rare and in small amount. Generally, my diet is normal (includes fiber), i drink a lot of water, no anxiety, not anaemic, normal weight and I exercise. So, these changes in bowel habits that happened months ago (without having any lifestyle change) + little blood rarely + the B12 defficiency I had, make me think I should visit another GP and push for a colonoscopy. I tried to search if increasing B12 would cause such changes in bowel habits, but did not find something. The only family history I know are that some first degree relatives had a small B12 defficiency without symptoms and second degree relative had gastrectomy a lot of years ago. I am a little panicked because Ive been seeing colon cancer is on the rise among young people and unreasoned bowel changes that dont leave soon + blood (however mine is very rarely and little) may be red flag. Especially most cases in young people are advanced stages becaus they are not caught early. Thanks for reading till the end, what do you suggest me to do? Go to another GP? And even push for endoscopy? Finally, could the cause of hard pebble stool be somehow (?) the elevation of B12 so my system need some time to go back to normal again? Because B12 deficiency was slowly developing for years.

While low B12 levels can affect the body in many ways, they usually don’t impact bowel habits like this. It’s great that you’ve had some tests, and they’ve ruled out any inflammation in your stomach or colon. Your symptoms might be due to functional gastrointestinal disorders or hemorrhoids, which are quite common and generally not too serious. Keep an eye on your symptoms, and try not to worry too much. However, if you’re still concerned, getting a second opinion from another doctor might help give you peace of mind.

Pain in lower left abdomen when sitting but no pain when standing or laying down
Female | 25
You have discomfort in your belly's left lower area. This happens when sitting down. Little pouches in your colon may be inflamed; that's diverticulitis. Other signs: bloating, hard or loose stools. To ease the hurt, eat foods high in fiber and drink lots of water. But, if pain persists, it's wise to consult a gastroenterologist.

Male | 22
Carrying a safety pin in your stomach for 2 long years can result in dangerous situations. You may get a tummy ache, feel like you are going to throw up, or actually, throw up. The pin can cause a tear in the lining of your stomach and be the reason for the infection. It is important to have it done through surgery. If the pin stays there it can cause other problems. A doctor must be seen immediately to get help.

I m 40 years old. I m suffering from fissure in anus. It gives me pain
Male | 40
Fissures are little rips in the skin around the anus. Passing hard stools, diarrhea, or inflammatory bowel disease can cause them. To heal the fissure, drink plenty of water, eat foods high in fiber, and use stool softeners. You might need creams or ointments too so that it does not hurt as much and heals faster.

I am 25 and I've been experiencing abdominal cramps, fever. The cramps are fine now. But now I have diarrhea and the stools are yellow and foamy and very frequent. I don't know what to do.
Female | 25
The following is an attempt to explain what could be the reason behind frequently going to the loo with a yellow, foamy stool and the way the body deals with unwanted substances. It is possibly diarrhea caused by the stomach flu or eating something that didn't sit right. To restore electrolytes, drink plenty of water and be properly hydrated. If you experience the loss of appetite, diarrhea, and vomiting that come with the condition, avoid high-fiber foods and processed carbs.

I was diagnosed gallbladder polyps and can it causes bad breathing
Male | 40
Gallbladder polyps are growths inside the gallbladder which can be described as tiny bumps. These types of polyps generally aren't related to any form of bad breath. Bad breath usually comes from poor dental hygiene or problems with the lungs. Sometimes they may cause pain in your abdomen or make it hard for you to digest food. If they do and are still there when this happens again then taking out your gall bladder might stop anything else like that from happening in the future.

Female | 5
Since the ultrasound and urine tests turned out normal, possible reasons for the symptoms may be. Typical causes in little ones can be food intolerance, stress, or anxiety. It is advisable to monitor if she is grey with certain foods before experiencing them or if she is angry all of a sudden and feels sick. Keeping a food diary and trying relaxation techniques such as deep breathing may be helpful. If the symptoms persist, talk to a pediatrician to get a proper diagnosis of the problem.

Female | 18
You have a problem with a condition called irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The sure signs of IBS are the combination of constipation and diarrhea, in addition to often urgent bowel movements. It may be instigated by stress, some foods, or hormonal changes. For IBS to be controlled, it is important to eat a balanced diet, to drink enough water, to control stress, and to use medications if necessary.

Male | 28
It’s normal to get a tummy ache and not feel like eating when you’re on antimalarial medication. These medicines may sometimes bother your stomach. Remember to continue taking them, but try to ease the discomfort by consuming small and soft meals. Drinking fluids such as water or tea frequently could also be helpful.

My mother is experiencing stomach ache in the previous month at the lower left abdominal portion. The pain is neither too sharp nor too dull. But it happens continuously. Whenever I give the medicine it goes away. Otherwise not any symptoms were noticed. What should I do now?
Female | 58
This kind of pain can be a result of constipation, air in the bowels, or even a muscle strain. You are lucky that the pain is relieved by the medicine, but it is crucial to establish the issue that is causing her pain. Keeping track of her dietary choices and doing activities that might be causing pain is a good idea if you do it like this is important. Instruct her to consume more liquids and fiber-rich foods, while you take care to eliminate any foods which might cause her discomfort. If the pain persists, you should visit a gastroenterologist.

Acidity, throat burn, stomach ache, and gas are some of the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or an acid reflux condition.

I am 16 year old and have been facing nausea and feeling of fullness after eating.I also feel heart burn once in a week and these increase when I am in public or have exams comming up. I have have these for 6 months .Is it possible to have these symptoms because of anxiety?please tell that I don't have something like functional dyspepsia
Male | 16
You mentioned numerous problems that have tortured you in the last 2-3 months - like nausea, fullness after a meal, and heartburn. That can be a sign of anxiety. However, you say that they tend to become aggravated during high-pressure situations such as exams that may lead to that. Anxieties can lead to digestion problems and anticorrelated symptoms. Do some techniques like deep breathing or walking to reduce the stress level. Smaller and more frequent meals can also be of help to avoid your pain.

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.

No pain in right lower abdomen. But have gol bladder stone . Need operation ?
Male | 55
Holding a gallstone and not feeling pain in the right lower abdomen for some time is a bit tricky. Gallstones can obstruct the bile duct and cause you to be seriously ill. Symptoms like yellowing of the skin, intolerable pain, or having a fever should be rushed to the doctor. Surgery to remove the gallbladder may be required to allow you to remain healthy. It is highly recommended to consult a gastroenterologist to have more information regarding this.

I am a daily alcohol drinker. I had the lunch in hotel 5 days before and since that time i am feeling stomach pain. It pains when i touch to stomach. it pains while sleeping also. I had taken local dr. consultation but no effect.
Male | 36
You might be suffering from gastritis, which refers to the inflammation of your stomach lining. Symptoms such as stomach pain when touched and chest pain when lying down are also possible. It is a peculiar allergy that may erupt when consuming alcohol or eating a hearty meal. To fight with it, stick with bland foods, avoid alcohol, and take antacids. In case the pain does not go away, you will have to consult a gastroenterologist once again.

Hi I am a 21 year old female who has been travelling in Europe for 1 months. I have been having diarrhoea for the past week on and off and have been taking anti diarrhoea tablets. These block me up and cause stomach cramps. What would you recommend? Thank you
Female | 21
From what you've been saying, the diagnosis could be you having traveler's diarrhea, a typical thing when exposed to new places. Anti-diarrhea pills can make things worse by stopping your body from getting rid of the bad stuff that causes stomach cramps. It is best to replenish your fluids by drinking clean water and consuming sports drinks or oral rehydration solutions that contain electrolytes. Stick to the basics, bland foods like rice, bananas, and toast for a while until things settle down. If your symptoms persist, consult your physician for medical advice.
