Why am I bloated and cramping post-colonoscopy?
I had a colonoscopy on Friday and I am super bloated with major cramps. I also have barely been able to use the restroom since and it hurts to touch my abdomen.

You're having some unpleasant sensations after your colonoscopy. After the procedure, one may feel a little bloated with cramps and experience a difficult time using the restroom. It can be attributed to the air that gets stuck in your colon or the irritation of your intestines. To relieve the discomfort, drink plenty of water, walk around gently, and eat light and easy-to-digest foods like fruits and veggies. Your body needs some time to recover, but if the pain continues or worsens, contact a gastroenterologist for more advice.

I have difficulty in eating and drinking cuz whenever i eat, after a few bites I have difficulty in swallowing food like I feel tightness in chest and shortness of breath like I take deep breaths while eating and I fear while swallowing food as if it might block my trachea or I would choke. Last year, I gave my exams and during my exams I took too much stress and didnt eat anything (eating very little whole day or even just bites of food due to exam stress). After that, I encountered somehow same issue as I developed nausea which interfered with swallowing so I feared swallowing. This time, when I gave my exams, I am encountering the situation I told you. What can be this thing and what measures should I take?
Female | 24
You might have Globus pharyngeus, a condition stress or anxiety triggers. It makes swallowing hard, tightens chests, causes shortness of breath, and scares you while eating. Eat slowly in calm places, and breathe deeply. Relax through deep breathing exercises or meditation helps. Drinking lots of water with meals aids swallowing. Consult a gastroenterologist if issues continue.

I was wondering what to do about my medical situation: I’ve been experiencing few weeks: -Anal discomfort from constipation -bowel leakage - anal itchiness for a due to Background: I had a loop colostomy put in the descending colon but what it seems To me is that some stool bypassed the colostomy and got to the area in the rectum that is damaged, and so its just staying inside the rectum, I can’t seem to have a bowel movement because of the damage in that area and I can’t seem to get it out. because of having the colostomy, I know there isn’t a serious problem like a blockage. but I’m feeling really uncomfortable due to the the leakages and itchiness at the anal area. From past experience Enemas and laxatives and suppositories haven’t been helpful with my constipation. What can I do?
Female | 27
It seems that you have encountered some abnormal complications related to your colostomy or you are constipated. Your anal discomfort and the smell and itchiness are occurring due to the feces that have collected in the damaged area in your rectum. That can occur when the stool makes an unplanned detour. In view of the fact that classical treatments such as enemas and laxatives are of no help; it is time to speak to your care provider for other possible options, like diet modification, stool softeners, or special procedures.

I am having loose motion and chest pain and sometimes fever is coming also having pain in some joints like my knee, ankle, and elbow. All these symptoms have been coming since 26th May, and pain in joints its happened sometimes for the last 4 years.
Male | 22
Your symptoms indicate infectious diseases such as virus attack; it may be arthritis too. Additionally, the recurrent joint aches you have had over 4 years should not be overlooked without proper medical attention from a professional health care provider. More importantly, one can take fluids and have enough rest but above everything else they should be thoroughly examined by a gastroenterologist for treatment.

A fishbone stuck in your belly might cause belly pain. While consuming fish, small bones can occasionally lodge. This sensation shouldn't be disregarded. Severe discomfort, difficulty swallowing, or vomiting necessitates immediate medical attention. Testing and potential bone removal aid from a gastroenterologist could prove vital.

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.

I was having a leg pain and my sister gave me a drug that was made of diclofenac-misoprostol. After taking the drug I had intense lower abdominal pain and bled. I’m a virgin and I’m afraid that affected my hymen.
Female | 22
Combinational drug diclofenac-misoprostol is widely used to alleviate pain symptoms. But it may cause some severe side effects including abdominal pain and bleeding, especially in patients with ulcer history. If any of these symptoms occur, you should visit a gastroenterologist immediately. It is highly advised that you do not take any medications unless a doctor has prescribed such.

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.
