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.

It streaked my stool in a line once but since then i haven’t had anything like that. it’s just bright red blood whenever i wipe but i have experienced no pain.
Male | 18
You might have a condition known as hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are, in fact, swollen blood vessels in the rectum. They are capable of causing bleeding and discomfort. Straining during bowel movements, chronic constipation, or sitting for too long are the causes of them. To ease the symptom, it is recommended to eat a diet that is rich in fiber, drink enough water, and avoid overexerting yourself when having a bowel movement. In case the symptoms do not go away or become worse, it is important to consult a gastroenterologist for further examination and 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.

Hi am having an abdiminal pain these days.
Male | 28
Various factors, e.g., dietary choices, stress, or underlying conditions such as gastritis or constipation, can be the basis of abdominal discomfort. To maintain intake of food and hydration, you must manage stress positively. Peel-off exercises, warm compresses, and a proper diet are potential relievers. However, if the issue does not go away or gets worse, I suggest you to consult a gastroenterologist.

Male | 20
Loose motions, diarrhea as doctors call it, can be troublesome. Certain medicines like potassium citrate, magnesium citrate, and vitamin B6 may cause it. These can upset your stomach sometimes. To help, stay hydrated, eat mild foods. Perhaps ask your pharmacist about adjusting the B6 dose or trying a different form.

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.

Bleeding from anus No lumps Not sore Stomach is fine
Female | 30
Presence of blood in your stool but without the presence of lumps or pain can be a result of a condition called hemorrhoids. These are swollen blood vessels inside your rectum that may bleed when you have bowel movements. A much less common cause could also result from anal fissure or an infection. Diet should be fiber-based and patients should always have their bottom cleaned. If it is a matter of persisting hemorrhoids, then you must urgently see a gastroenterologist for proper advice.

Motions not curing after taking medicine stops motion and again after 5days starting motions
Female | 26
A stomach issue seems the problem. Motions not leaving with treatment, and returning after days, could mean a bug or food poisoning. They bring stomach pain, loose motions, and puking. Drink lots of water for hydration. Eat bland food. If there's no improvement, see a gastroenterologist.

I am feeling nausea, diarrhoea.
Female | 23
You may have the stomach flu. When you get the stomach flu, you might have loose stools, feel queasy, or even throw up. Viruses or bacteria are usually the cause of these bugs that your body fights off. It is essential to drink water and take a lot of rest so as not to get dehydrated. Eating simple foods such as crackers or plain rice can also relieve your symptoms. If they persist beyond two days or worsen, it would be best to visit a gastroenterologist for more help.

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.

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.

You might have an issue with the gallbladder. If you experience pain in the top right of your abdomen after eating - particularly fatty foods - it may be gallstones or inflammation. This can be confirmed with an ultrasound report. To relieve the pain, follow a low-fat diet and seek further advice from a gastroenterologist.

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.

"I'm a 21-year-old female and I have a problem passing stool. When I pass stool, I experience pain and bleeding. Initially, the bleeding was minimal, but now it's excessive, and I also experience stomach pain.
Female | 21
It seems like you are experiencing unpleasant symptoms such as pain and bleeding during bowel movements associated with abdominal discomfort. These issues could be due to things like constipation, hemorrhoids, or anal fissures, which result in the more serious bleeding. It is important to increase your fiber consumption, drink a lot of water, and try over-the-counter medications for constipation relief. Consult a gastroenterologist if the excessive bleeding persists.
