Could my red stool indicate serious GI bleeding risk?
i’m 16yo I’ve had the flu for 5 days now and my dr prescribed me with ibuprofen for my fever and headache but it caused me to develop an ulcer i got sudden stomach cramps like the type where you need to poo so i went to the bathroom my poo was red i did some research and i think it might be GI bleeding i’ve been to the bathroom 5 times since and every time there’s been blood every time i’m worried but my mom won’t take me to the hospital, she says we can go tomorrow

Red poop can be a symptom of bleeding in the digestive tract, which may be caused by the ulcer and ibuprofen. Stomach cramps and frequent visits to the bathroom are also the reasons for this. This requires immediate medical assistance for the diagnosis and treatment. It would be better if you refused to wait until tomorrow.

dysphagia eating with water
Male | Jawed
Swallowing water seems easy, but sometimes it’s not. Dysphagia makes it difficult. You may cough, choke, or feel like food gets stuck. There are different causes, like weak muscles or nerve issues. Sip slowly and sit up straight while eating. If swallowing remains difficult, see a gastroenterologist.

I’m from India. I got a question about chilli powder or I guess paprika in the west. Can chilli cause any problem with my stomach or intestine? Can it cause ulcers? Because the whole of internet says it’s good.
Male | 30
Chilies are a healthy ingredient that most people can eat without having problems. Even though, it is also possible for a stomach to become upset, or intestines to be inflamed with chili. Stomach irritations like these can lead to symptoms such as stomach pain, acid indigestion, or indigestion. In rare cases, some people can develop ulcers after eating extremely spicy foods. These sores can appear in the stomach or intestines' lining and cause discomfort and pain. In case of nausea, an antispasmodic should be taken right before bed.

Gerd derealization eoe I really need help
Male | 17
GERD means stomach acid goes up your throat, causing a burning feeling. Derealization is feeling like the world is not real. It's best to see a gastroenterologist and get their advice on the right treatment for you.

I'm experiencing pain in lower right side of abdomen from 2-3 weeks. Today I was feeling nausea with pain for few minutes in a particular fixed pain area where pain everytime occurs.
Male | 25
You're feeling sick. That pain in your belly may be appendicitis. Your appendix, a small sac, could be inflamed. Nausea, steady pain - those are warning signs. You need to see a gastroenterologist soon. Leaving appendicitis untreated is risky. If it's appendicitis, you'll likely need surgery. They'll remove your appendix to prevent complications.

I had pain in my stomach for a while
Female | 31
The pain in your stomach could be hard to handle. There are numerous explanations for why this might happen such as overeating, stress, or even a stomach virus. Besides the pain, you may also have bloating, nausea, or changes in your bowel movements. For example, eat smaller meals, avoid spicy foods, and drink water to help you feel better. If the pain is not going away, go to a gastroenterologist.

I have done blood test (LFT), below are the results. Can you please comment something on below result. Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST/SGOT) result is 38. Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT/SGPT) result is 67. Alkaline Phosphatase result is 166.
Male | 30
Your liver looks a little stressed. The ALT level is high, which shows possible liver damage. The Alkaline Phosphatase is also elevated. Causes could be alcohol, fatty liver, or medication side effects. Eat healthy foods. Avoid drinking alcohol. See a gastroenterologist for more tests.

If you're dealing with stomach problems consider dietary adjustments like see if you have any trigger foods, eating smaller meals, and staying hydrated. Manage stress through relaxation techniques, limit alcohol and caffeine if at all you consume, and incorporate probiotics into your diet.

I had gerd for past 3 months and now facing breathing problem for last three days when eating, sitting, and lyedown. ECG normal. Am already taking Bp tablet. No throat pain,only upper abdominal discomfort when breathing.please give suggestion
Male | 37
You might be having a problem called aspiration. This is when the stomach acid comes up to the throat and causes trouble breathing. Sometimes, it may also cause pain in the upper abdomen. This is a very serious problem that needs to be treated by your gastroenterologist. Changing your eating habits and taking medications can help control this situation.

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.

Stomach pain after taking I pill
Female | 34
Emergency birth control pills occasionally cause abdominal discomfort. Their effect irritates the stomach lining, inducing temporary ache. Resolve symptoms naturally by consuming plain foods, drinking water, and resting sufficiently. However, persistent severe pain demands contacting a gastroenterologist promptly. Mild indigestion usually subsides independently within reasonable duration.

I am a 30 years old female. It been some few weeks I'm experiencing a crying stomach from time to time even if I have eaten food
Female | 30
There are several possible causes for this, including eating too much or too quickly, or certain foods not reacting well with your stomach. Do you find that it gets worse with particular foods? Try having smaller meals at a slower pace and see if there’s anything that consistently triggers your stomach ache. If the problem persists, it would be wise to consult a gastroenterologist.

Hello. I have been diagnosed with underactive thyroid since 3 weeks and I was prescribe with L Thyroxin 25. On the 1st week I started to take it everyday in the morning 30 min before breakfast, everything was fine. Then on 2nd week, I started again my birth control pills which is Asumate 30. And from the moment that I have started again my birth control pills and the L Thyroxin 25, I have been having diarrhea problem for 2 weeks until today still on going. I am not sure what is the issue , can you help please ?
Female | 28
I think you might have a stomach upset. When you take birth control pills with L Thyroxin, you might experience diarrhea. This could mean that the combo is affecting your gut. Keep yourself hydrated and consider taking the drugs at different times during the day. If it doesn’t stop, talk to a doctor so they can advise accordingly.

Am suffering in stomach pain stomach bloating and pain below left rib cage food not digesting properly
Male | 30
You likely have gastritis, which refers to the inflammation of the stomach lining due to irritants. Gastritis can result in various symptoms including pain, bloating, and digestion difficulties. Pain that occurs below the left rib cage may also be a possible result of gas accumulated in the colon. The causes of these problems may be attributed to eating too fast, spicy foods, stress, or an infection. To improve your health, eat smaller meals, avoid spicy foods, and practice stress management.

Male | 30
You likely have a reduced appetite and feel full after meals, along with a habit of drinking alcohol frequently. These symptoms could indicate a possible digestive issue caused by heavy alcohol use. Alcohol irritates the stomach, leading to less hunger and a feeling of fullness. To improve your appetite and stomach health, try reducing or eliminating alcohol, eat smaller meals more frequently, and include more fruits and vegetables in your diet. Remember, moderate alcohol consumption is key to maintaining overall health.

How is hep c spread? If I used a stick n poke needle with no blood
Female | 19
Transmission of hepatitis C may involve contact with infected blood and/or sharps such as needles. Even if the needle does not have any water therein, the stick and pokes use can still result in viral infections. It will be good to see a hepatologist or a gastroenterologist if you have reason to think your chances of Hepatitis C are high.

i have a headache and diarrhea and my stomach and intestines hurt and I threw up 6 times in 2 days what could this be?
Male | 16
You might be suffering from a stomach bug. A tummy bug usually causes headaches, tummy aches, vomiting, and diarrhea. Gut infection often strikes because of germs or parasites. It's simple to stay put, drink plenty of water, and choose foods which are easy on your system like toast or crackers. When you feel nothing is getting better, visit a gastroenterologist.

Male | 20
If there are pains after eating and the stools are blackish, it could be a sign of some serious problem that is taking place inside the body. The 39 cm tumor at the junction of the esophagus and the stomach is the cause of this problem. These types of tumors can be malignant, hence, the person may face trouble swallowing as well as experience weight loss. The options of surgery or other methods such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy might be necessary to eliminate the tumor.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease can progress to fibrosis, which is the scaring of the liver. Healthy weight loss through diet and exercise can play a key role in the liver's health. The liver is capable of some self-repair, but the damage from serious scarring is probably not going to be reversed completely. Following your doctor's advice, taking your medication, and lifestyle changes to support your liver health are essential.

Constantly feeling bloated and making frequent bathroom trips can be highly frustrating. These annoying issues stem from your diet or certain health conditions. Common culprits include gulping food too quickly, swallowing excess air, consuming gas-forming foods, or suffering from digestive disorders. Slowing down during meals, avoiding carbonated beverages, and staying hydrated might provide relief.
