Why do I experience chronic constipation and stomach sucking?
I've been having constipation problems for about a year or a little more now. I don't have any serious signs of IBD nor chron's disease. I constantly have to wait about 2 days to empty my bowel. I don't quite understand what causes this problem, but I also have a habit of sucking my stomach in a lot, so maybe could that be it?

When you pull your tummy in a lot, it can be tough for your guts to work well. This might result in constipation. Relax your belly muscles and try to drink more water, and eat lots of high-fiber foods such as fruits and vegetables. Also, doing regular physical activity can help.

Hi I have a very silly question. I had a gastroscopy without sedation. Is it safe to have 1 glass of wine with a friend ? The numbing throat spray has worn off.
Female | 46
After a gastroscopy, do not take too much force on your body. The glass of wine can hurt your throat because the numbing spray has already worn off. You might feel some mild discomfort or have a little acidity. It's better to wait one or two days before relishing that wine.

My Daughter is 11, She is having vomiting, nausea and motions for the last 2 days. Moreover, she is having stomach and throat pain. She can not eat anything. Feel pain in stomach when eating some thing.
Female | 11
Vomiting, nausea, stomach pain, and sore throat can be hard to deal with. These symptoms may be due to a tummy bug or food poisoning. Make sure she drinks enough fluids so that she can replenish her body. If your child is experiencing any symptoms, you can start feeding her crackers or toast. If it doesn't get better, see a gastroenterologist.

Male | 48
Okay you can try a few remedies to find relief. Drink warm liquids like herbal teas or warm water with lemon to relax the stomach muscles. Avoid carbonated drinks and chewing gum as they can contribute to gas production.

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.

My boyfriend had, what I suspect to be, Norovirus 8 days ago. He had diarrhea for about 18 to 22 hours, and he only had one bout of vomiting, which he believes was due to the Mountain Dew he drank on an upset stomach. Since its been 8 days since his symptoms have stopped, would it be safe to engage in close contact activities like kissing again?
Male | 23
Norovirus is a bug. It can make your stomach feel bad. After it goes away, wait a bit before kissing. This makes sure it is all gone. 8 days since his last symptoms are good. But wait longer to be safe. Washing hands well stops the spread.

If you're experiencing constipation and soft stools, try increasing your water intake, eating a fiber-rich diet, maintaining regular mealtimes, and staying physically active. Stress reduction techniques can also help. Consider consulting a gastroenterologist if the issue persists or worsens, as it may be related to some medical condition.

See a gastroenterologist specialized to diagnose the disease and provide the appropriate treatment. Not changing the drug while the condition is still the same, gives room for the situation to deteriorate.

Am having back ache, although I have ulcer
Female | 27
Back pain can be triggered by the lifting heavy objects or inappropriate posture. Stress caused by stress or some drugs can lead to the formation of ulcers. The back pain is characterized by a painful feeling and discomfort. On the other hand, ulcers bring about the stomach ache and bloating. You can soothe your back by gentle back exercises and avoiding strong spices or sour acidic foods for the wound of your stomach for bland food. If you continue to feel pain, make an appointment with a gastroenterologist.

Male | 77
Your father is suffering from some sort of food stuck in his esophagus. A CT scan that your father had done shows that he suffers from esophageal adenocarcinoma, which is a kind of cancer located in the esophagus. Such conditions can lead to difficulties in swallowing, chest pain, and losing weight. The treatment options may consist of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Communicating with his gastroenterologist is the best way for you to arrive at an effective plan.

I have a stomach pain yesterday I eat shawarma now i got a pain my age 25
Male | 25
You might have stomach soreness following shawarma consumption. Stomach soreness commonly occurs after consuming rich meals or spicy meals as seen before. It usually can be felt as cramps in the lower abdomen that are laggard. One must try rehydrating and resting as such acts will help the discomfort decrease. It is a must for now to avoid spicy foods. If the situation doesn't improve or is getting worse talking to a gastroenterologist is suggested.

I am 19 years old female and I am having a pain in my lower and upper abdomen both left and right side Even my chest also pains alot . Sometimes my pain in my stomach is too much . Whenever I eat anything, I vomit.
Female | 19
You seem to be having these pains to the point that you have been putting up with a lot. Pain in the lower and upper abdomen, as well as chest pain and vomiting after eating, can be signs of a problem with your digestive system. You could be facing problems like gastritis or acid reflux. A gastroenterologist must be consulted to obtain precise diagnoses and suitable medicines.

Iam 25 year old male .I had fever & fatigue in regular intervals .sleepy mode full time.i was facing an acid reflux. A pain on upper right side of chest
Male | 25
The fever, fatigue, acid reflux, and pain in the upper right side of your chest suggest you haven't been feeling well. Have you considered the possibility of having acid reflux disease? This occurs when stomach acid moves into the food pipe, causing discomfort. Avoid spicy foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down right after eating. Also, drink plenty of water daily. If your symptoms persist despite these changes, I recommend seeing a gastroenterologist for further advice.

I am 21 years old I am having mild abdominal pain , mild testicular pain , foul smell pee , burning while urinating
Male | 21
You probably have a normal bacterial infection known as a urinary tract infection (UTI). It occurs when bacteria get inside the urethra and the bladder and infect them. Typical symptoms include lower belly pain, pain in your private area, smelly pee, and burning while you pee. You have to drink a lot of water and go to a gastroenterologist for the cure with antibiotics.

You might have an anal fissure, a little cut. Or piles, swollen blood vessels. They cause blood and pain when using the bathroom. Hard stools, straining too much, and sitting long can cause them. Fiber, water, and ointments help. Visit a gastroenterologist for further treatment.

im 17 years old, i have this stomach ache in the morning yesterday even right now. I try to eat and poop but still it hurts even also when im laying on bed and sitting down. how can i avoid this pain what should i do and dont?
Female | 17
There are a lot of things that can give someone a stomach ache - like eating too much, eating spicy food, or being nervous. Try eating smaller meals more often instead of three big ones. Keep away from spicy foods entirely and make sure to drink plenty of fluids every day. Don't lie down right after you eat something either. If the pain sticks around after doing all these things, go to a gastroenterologist for a check-up.

How to get rid of stomach cramps
Female | 18
Stomach ache is the sudden pain in the belly that you feel. It may be caused by eating quickly, eating spicy food, or feeling stressed. You should try to relax and take slow breaths when these cramps occur. Drinking warm water and putting a hot water bottle on your tummy can help as well. Eating small amounts of bland food while avoiding caffeine might also relieve the cramps.
