Should I Take Miralax or Book a Colonic Treatment for Impacted Stool?
I’ve had constipation for six months and I have been using dulcolax every week to help, however this week when I used my dose, I felt nauseous and didn’t feel my normal budge in stool. I suspect I have impacted stool or some sort of blockage. I tried 2 enemas however after using them (lying on my left, inserting it for 5 minutes and staying still) it didn’t work. My main question is If I’m having impacted stool should I take miralax powder , dulcolax pills, or suppositaries, or a third enema Or book a colonic treatment? thank you

If you feel sick after taking Dulcolax you may need to try a different method. When stool is impacted it means that the poo has become stuck and will not come out very easily. Use Miralax powder which can help to soften it. You can mix it with a drink and take it according to the instructions on the packet. Make sure you also drink lots of water. If there is no change when using Miralax then you should speak to a healthcare professional for further advice.

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.

Male | 45
These irritation types may be the result of gastritis and acid reflux. It's a blessing that your tests came back normal and that you maintain a healthy diet. Since you're still experiencing the same, discuss with your gastroenterologist the possibility of modifying your medication or seeking other treatment options to help manage your symptoms.

I am 24 years old femlehaving fever , diarrhoea l took fasida full dose but the diarrhoea is still disturbing me
Female | 24
Fever and diarrhea are often associated with infections caused by viruses or bacteria. Fluids should be your best friend to avoid dehydration. If you don't feel better, you may want to eat less spicy and bland foods for a while. In such cases, the symptoms may last even after the medicine is taken but if it is so for more than two days or worsens, then it is time to visit the gastroenterologist.

Hi I have amaebiosis history which was cured by ayurveda bt i wasn't able to follow all the rules so it was never fully cured though. I still have issues n it's for last 8 years. I hv constant gases whole day and pain in my left side in stomach. M scared to visit doctors i hope i don't hv to do surgery or any painful process. What should I do.
Female | 26
You seem to have persistent tummy troubles. Frequent gas and aches on your left side could point to digestive problems. Your past amebiasis might be contributing too. Understandably, you want to avoid surgery. To feel better, try eating smaller portions, steering clear of spicy cuisine, and drinking plenty of fluids. But it's also wise to speak with a gastroenterologist about other potential remedies.

Low grade Appendiceal reuinous neoplasm
Female | 50
The term low-grade appendiceal neoplasm refers to abnormal tissue in the appendix. If you have one, it will be stealthy at times, although you may feel pain in the lower right side of your tummy, nausea, or changes in your stool. However, the underlying cause is not always clear. It entails surgery to evacuate the appendix if the infected part is operable. The follow-up examinations are quite significant and must be done to supervise the condition.

Chest pain with gas acidity, not proper motion in a day, vomiting after eating the food how to resolve this problem
Male | 20
Your symptoms like chest discomfort, gas, acid reflux, constipation, and post-meal vomiting indicate stomach issues. Reduce portion sizes. Avoid spicy, greasy food. Stay hydrated. Antacids might help soothe your stomach. However, if these don't improve your condition, you should consult a gastroenterologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I'm 29 years old . I have problem in stomuch just below chest at middle when I eat and drink water after some time I the irritation starts at that point some times acid reflux also aoccurs. This is happens from Last 5 years. This pain stoped last 4 months but it again comes
Male | 29
You may be having acid reflux. Stomach acid goes up your food pipe bringing irritation and pain. Thus, the muscle between the stomach and the food pipe weakens, which may cause this to happen. Do not eat large meals, avoid eating any spicy foods, and do not stay upright for a long time. If the pain is still present, visit a gastroenterologist.

I am 14 and reports of abdominal scan revealed that I have distended urinary bladder and distended gall bladder.is this serious or normal
Female | 14
A scan of your stomach showing a distended urinary bladder and gall bladder is interpreted to mean that they are more filled than usual. For instance, holding your urine back for a long time might be the cause of the urinary bladder and gallstones the gallbladder. Pain or discomfort, or the need to go to the toilet often, can also be symptoms. Drinking some water, or eating right may be some of the actions, but to get proper advice, the best thing will be to see a gastroenterologist.

I am having loose motion and chest pain and sometimes fever is coming also having pain in some joints like my knee, ankle, and elbow. All these symptoms have been coming since 26th May, and pain in joints its happened sometimes for the last 4 years.
Male | 22
Your symptoms indicate infectious diseases such as virus attack; it may be arthritis too. Additionally, the recurrent joint aches you have had over 4 years should not be overlooked without proper medical attention from a professional health care provider. More importantly, one can take fluids and have enough rest but above everything else they should be thoroughly examined by a gastroenterologist for treatment.

I have bad bloating in stomach and intestine churning no meds work
Male | 42
You are probably dealing with a situation of bloating in your stomach with gurgling in your intestines. Bloat is when there is excess gas in your belly. Churning of the intestine can be due to the food passing through your system. Eating slowly and avoiding the foods that cause you gassy could be the solution. Drinking peppermint tea can also relieve your stomach. If these don’t work, it’s best to talk to a gastroenterologist.

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.

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
Female | 16
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.
