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.

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.

I have stomach ache since last night and I am feeling weak and my body is becoming hot i think I have favour and I also have headache which tablet should I take
Male | 18
To relieve your ailments you can take a penny medication that you just get from a pharmacy over-the-counter like paracetamol which will help lower your fever and reduce your headache. Get enough rest, drink plenty of fluids, and feast on some light food like soup and crackers. In case your symptoms still do not improve in the slightest degree or your condition is getting worse then you had better seek medical assistance at once.

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.

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.

Female | 20
You seem to have stomach discomfort and skipped menstruation. Intensified pain upon eating signals potential issues like gastritis or ulcers. Two missed cycles could arise from various factors like hormonal imbalances or stress. Consulting a gastroenterologist proves crucial for accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment.

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.

You may be suffering from a condition known as Irritable Bowel Syndrome which is also known as IBS. Symptoms of IBS can be stomach discomfort, cramping, spasms, and altered bowel habits. These symptoms may be prompted by stress, specific foods, or hormone fluctuations. To help with IBS, eat fewer meals, avoid trigger foods, drink water, and manage stress through relaxation techniques or exercise. Consult with a gastroenterologist to get personalized advice on managing your symptoms.

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.
