Why am I experiencing white stool and excessive thirst?
I have white stool with no abdominal pain and always thirsty like nothing feeding my thirst

Answered on 23rd May '24
Bowel motions' shade shouldn't be white - that indicates issues. Excessive thirst also signals something's not right. Pale stools could mean liver trouble or gallbladder woes. You may be dehydrated. Or it might signal diabetes or another condition. See a gastroenterologist promptly to identify and resolve the underlying cause.

why would your stomach hurt every time you eat,feel nauseated, fatigued, have chronic constipation, throwing up, having spasms in different parts of intestines, most painful poops and painful stomach pains etc? Tried to get GI scopes but stomach flared up too much to do the prep?
Female | 22
You may have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS causes stomach discomfort, nausea, fatigue, constipation, vomiting, intestinal spasms, and painful bowel movements. Flare-ups make test preparation difficult. To manage IBS, eat healthy foods, reduce stress, and stay hydrated. Consult a gastroenterologist for further guidance.

Hi, I am a healthy 54 year old male. I have been doing some routine annual lab tests near my home, where they do comprehensive labs for check-up. I have been doing it for several years, and everything is basically normal. However, I just received a lab result, CA 19-9, which is elevated (44), normal is below 34. I actually had this lab test CA 19-9 way back in 7/2022, when the level was 12 (normal). Then I had it in annual testing on 9/2023, and it was 25 (but within normal limits). In the past 6-12 months, I have had normal lactate and amylase levels too. Also, all my other blood test from yesterday were normal, including liver function test (and normal bilirubin), normal CBC, normal CEA level, normal amylase, normal sedimentation rate, normal TSH, normal blood chemistry. Of note, I also had a normal DNA stool test (cologuard) 3 years ago. I also had normal FIT stool test 2 months ago, and also last year (twice it was normal). I have no symptoms and no weight loss, and no signs of jaundice. I am not overweight either, and I do not smoke nor drink alcohol. And no one in my family has had cancer before. As I mentioned, this was incidental, but I would like to know your opinion if this is ominous, and next steps. I have schedule a full body MRI scan for next week too. Thank you.

An increase in the level of CA 199 causes an alarm. You will get the most thorough examination if you consult a specialist. However, because CA 199 levels can be associated with certain gastrointestinal conditions, you may want to make an appointment with a gastroenterologist as well.

I was diagnosed with intestine obsertruction on 04 May 24, Subsequently, I was treated with antibiotics and painkillers. Urine catheter was inserted on 05/05/24 and removed on 10/05/24. However, I am having irritation (burning) while urination and bleeding on first urination in the morning. I am in constant pain.
Male | 28
You might have a urinary tract infection (UTI). UTIs may occur after using a urinary catheter and can make you feel like peeing is painful or that it causes bleeding. This discomfort would not kill you; however, take enough water then consult with a urologist. More antibiotics might be recommended to deal with the problem and ease the symptoms.

Pancreas problem and fatty liver
Male | 22
Pancreas problems and fatty liver are two separate medical conditions that can occur independently or sometimes in association with each other. In some cases, more advanced treatment may be necessary. For example, advanced fatty liver disease may lead to cirrhosis, which may require a liver transplant. For pancreas problems, surgery may be necessary in some cases.
Consult with a gastroenterologist or a hepatologist to find out what is the problem exactly.

I have a huge tummy pain and it hurts a lotl
Male | 21
The tummy ache can be tough to manage. The hurt you feel in your stomach might be from many things such as eating something that didn’t agree with you, having gas, or having a tummy bug. It is a good idea to have lots of drinks and stay in bed. Eating plain foods like bread or rice may also help. If you don’t start to feel better or it gets worse then make sure to go and see a gastroenterologist about it.

You may be having a condition known as gastritis. Gastritis refers to a condition wherein the lining of your stomach is swollen and causes pain on both sides of your stomach. The bleeding and vomiting could be symptoms of irritation of your stomach. The cause of gastritis may be spicy foods, stress, or certain medications. It is important to get the correct diagnosis and treatment from a gastroenterologist.

Male | 31
Clopidogrel and Omeprazole may cause unwanted effects. You might sweat a lot. Getting the chills could happen. Dehydration is possible too. Chest pains may occur. Weakness and loss of appetite are common side effects of these drugs. To improve your condition, drink lots of water. Stay hydrated. Take it easy and rest. Eat small portions of light foods. If symptoms persist or intensify, contact a gastroenterologist immediately.

I had fissure last week, took some medicine from a nearby doctor, now moved to a different place. No pain but feels like some swelling down side , kind of external hemorrhoids.
Male | 25
They are the veins around the anus that have become deformed due to too much blood being trapped inside. They are caused by straining during bowel movements (sitting for a long time) or recognizing weight. You may try drinking lots of water, eating high-fiber foods, not straining when going to the bathroom, and relaxing your bowels when going to the bathroom. Exposing the area to warm compresses is one of the easiest solutions, however, you can also get good pain relief by using over-the-counter creams.

I m suffering from Lax LES III. What is the best treatment?
Male | 40
The valve separating your food pipe from your stomach isn't functioning properly, causing Lax LES III. This lets acid goes up your esophagus, leading to heartburn and reflux. You may experience chest pain, trouble swallowing, or feel something stuck in the throat. Being overweight, smoking and certain foods can trigger it. Making some lifestyle adjustments like eating smaller meals helps treat it. Taking medications or surgery may also provide relief. Visit a gastroenterologist for further treatment.

I have had constant acid reflux for going on 2 years, every day - all day. I have taken ppi and other remedies but nothing seems to work and no doctor seems to take this serious. I need this to go away for good if possible. I honestly am so miserable, I can hardly eat or drink.
Male | 23
For chronic acid reflux that didn't respond to any treatment, it's important to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation. They can recommend different medications and lifestyle modifications. If necessary, additional tests may be conducted to identify underlying factors. You may also try seeking a second opinion from a specialist..

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.

I am 22/F having a symptoms of stomach bloating. What should I do now
Female | Priyadharshini
If you have been experiencing stomach bloating, there is no need to worry about your digestive health. This often happens when you feel bloated when your stomach is full or swollen. It could be due to eating too fast, swallowing air, or eating certain foods. The best way to avoid this is to slow down at the table, avoid fizzy drinks, and refrain from eating anything that causes bloating, like beans and broccoli. Otherwise, you can consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough check-up and proper treatment.

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.

Hi Sir, kindly help me out to get out of this pain, confusion and frustration. I am Rohan from Pune. This is my Clinical summary -Rohan, a 29-year-old male, presented with chief complaints of reflux symptoms and severe abdominal pain persisting for the past 3 months.And episodes of diarrhea.Upon examination, his vital signs were stable. Diagnostic procedures, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy, were performed, leading to the diagnosis of a duodenal ulcer, pan gastritis and pathological findings of lymphocytic colitis. The treatment approach involved the administration of medications, as mentioned in the prescription, to manage the condition. Regular follow-up visits were recommended to monitor the progress and adjust the treatment regimen accordingly. After two and a half months of treatment, significant improvement was noted, with no abdominal pain reported, and the patient's overall well-being has improved. Consequently, the dosage of medications has been reduced. Continued monitoring and adherence to the prescribed treatment plan are necessary to ensure complete resolution of symptoms and prevent recurrence. This was my condition eight months ago. Right now I am very frustrated because of gut problem. It's paining even after following treatment and strict diet for eight months. I almost lost 8 kg. I went for second opinion(Leading Gastroentrologist in pune) . That doctor told me that your ulcers are healed completely.And lymphocytic colitis was misdiagnosed. Now It's a IBS that causing the pain and not colitis.He prescribed me Librax(Clinidium+chlorobenzodioxide) two times in a day along with Amixide h(chlorobenzodioxide +amitryptiline) . Whenever my gut starts paining I took it and pain goes away completely like that problem doesn't exist.I am very confused about this.Stomach pain goes away and comes back. About year ago this problem has started. And just took those above medicines to cope up with pain One more thing to add here is that I was diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) few years back. I was taking escitalopram( Lexapro 10 mg)on and off prescribed by psychiatrist.But My Gastroenterologist told me to stop using lexapro as it can cause ulcer. So I stopped using it completely since year. I want to get completely rid of these medicines and want to live normal life.
Male | 29
Gut issues can be challenging. You've successfully healed ulcers, which is great, but IBS challenges remain. IBS is common and can cause belly pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. Often, stress or certain foods trigger it. Medications like Librax and Amixide H, prescribed by your gastroenterologist, can help manage the symptoms. However, lifestyle changes are also important. Stress relief methods, regular exercise, and a fiber-rich, healthy diet can make a significant difference.

i can only drink hot water. if i drink room temperature water i will have several problems like indigestion, cold, stiffness, head ache. its been 7-8 years am only drinking hot water. same reason i don't drink tender coconut, juices, buttermilk etc. what is the solution
Male | 37
Some individuals feel uncomfortable drinking cool liquids. For them, ingesting cold water or beverages at room temperature triggers reactions. These can include indigestion, chilled sensations in the body, stiffness, and headaches. Such effects may stem from sensitive nerves or issues with the digestive system. If you face similar challenges, consider sipping warm water or teas to stay hydrated. Simultaneously, maintain a balanced diet to ensure adequate fluid and nutrient intake.

Hi my girlfriend is having periods since the day before yesterday today morning she felt pain in her stomach particularly on the left side also accompanied by swelling we are suspecting it to be stomach infection but aren't sure about it yet
Female | 20
Your girlfriend might be experiencing acute appendicitis. Symptoms of this are sudden stomach pain on the lower right side with swelling. Appendicitis is when the appendix gets inflamed. If you think this is the case, you need to go to the hospital straight away because surgery is usually the only way to get rid of the inflamed appendix and avoid complications.
