The­ left upper side hurt may re­late to bile duct narrowing. This tube carrie­s bile from liver to intestine­s. Narrowing can block bile, causing pain, issues. See­k your gastroenterologist's advice­. Perhaps get a specialist re­view, familiar with your gastric bypass surgery effe­cts. They can recommend actions to e­ase symptoms, prevent complications.

I am a 23 year old female who suffer from a bloated tummy that's making sounds I am constipated and I have piles.

Female | 23

You seem to have symptoms of constipation which tighten up your tummy and produce such strange sounds. Piles or hemorrhoids can also contribute to these symptoms. Constipation means that you have a blocked bowel and experienced infrequent bowel movements. Piles are the swollen blood vessels in your bottom area. To remedy, get more fiber in your diet, drink plenty of water, and stay active as suggested. You can also use medicines meant for the external treatment of piles.

I have bloating with little difficulty in breathing. Two days ago I experienced temporary loss of consciousness.

Male | 16

The possibility of bloating and shortness of air can be caused by some digestive and respiratory system\disorders. These symptoms, including the temporary lack of consciousness, may pose a risk for a more severe problem. Urging immediate help from a doctor should be the first step to diagnosing the problem precisely and getting the right treatment.

Indigestion problem.gas problem.constipation

Female | 226

Indigestion happens when your stomach has trouble digesting food. You might feel bloated, gassy, or constipated. Overeating or certain foods can cause this. Try eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy foods, and drinking more water. These steps can help digestion and ease discomfort.

Hello my name is Mohammad my mom died from colon cancer and my aunt father side died from lung cancer and recently I am having black ( I mean like really black) poop I haven’t had any iron supplements and I’m not having abdominal pain but I lost a lot of weight in 2-3 months I hardly ever go to ???? and when I go I have very stiff black poop I don’t have eagerness for food and I was very very harmed mentally for my moms lost that I almost had days taking 1.5 kg of ambient (15*10tablets*10gr) I am also studying dentistry so if you speak in medical terms I would probably understand.

Male | 23

Do not underestimate how black stool points to possible internal bleeding of your digestive system, nor your symptoms of losing weight and having no appetite. This points to the start of a severe health issue that would be more likely benign than malignant. Besides, it's best to go through the colon and intestine diagnostics first as well as some other medical tests.

Female | 64

You would want to consult a general physician or a primary care doctor for the symptoms you mentioned. They'll conduct an initial assessment, ask about your medical history, perform a physical examination, and may order some tests if necessary to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms.

Based on their evaluation, the primary care doctor may refer you to a gastroenterologist if they suspect a specific gastrointestinal condition or if further specialized care is required.

Some gastric problems and bimetic and stomach feel heavy Fever cold dry cough body pain since 10 _15 days

Female | 50

You are experiencing some stomach upset and feeling sluggish as well. If you have had a fever, cold, dry cough, or/and muscle aches for the last fortnight or more, this might indicate gastroenteritis (stomach flu) or other viral infections. Rest, take fluids only in plenty, and eat simple easily digestible meals. If the condition persists or becomes severe seek medical attention without delay.

I am a patient of rectal cancer with adenocarcinoma with cignet ring cell carcinoma, and got immunotherapy in ayurvedic through oral medications also got almost cured for three months. But again rectal bleeding and severe pain started and there is wound pist radiotherapy just at bottom inside layer of anus.

Male | 33

It's possible that the wound from your radiotherapy treatment has not fully healed or that there may be other factors contributing to your symptoms. You should communicate openly with your doctor about your symptoms, concerns, and treatment history, as they will have the best understanding of your problems.

What food is best is ice cream, tea cakes, fibre flakes ok if I have chronic ibs

Male | 42

If you are suffering from chronic IBS, the best diet to go for would be easy foods on your tummy. Ice cream, tea cakes, and fiber flakes may be questionable choices. Ice cream might be the cause of your stomachache, and tea cakes are too sweet. On the other hand, fiber flakes could be a high-fiber one, which can trigger IBS symptoms such as bloating and cramps and therefore be a reason for the worsening of the condition. You should make it a point to eat unseasoned foods like rice, cooked vegetables, and lean proteins to assist in calming your stomach.

You may try drinking little sips of water to help it down. Refrain from the activity of self-induced vomiting. If the signs persist, seek medical aid at once.
