Gut troubles in older people can occur for many reasons like diet, not enough fiber, or not drinking enough water. Common signs are hard poop, bloat, and feeling bad. Tell your dad to eat good food with lots of fruits, veggies, and water. Exercise can also help keep things moving well.

My nme is kunti my age from 42 yesars tow day start from vomting
Female | 42
If you suddenly feel nauseous, there are several reasons for this. It could be that what you ate doesn’t sit well with your stomach, you have a stomach bug or it’s due to stress. Take small sips of water often not to become dehydrated and try eating plain things such as crackers or toast. See a gastroenterologist immediately if vomiting continues.

I feel something breathing in my lower stomach
Female | 30
You feel a strange movement in your belly, and it's a bit frightening. However, it might be normal body processes occurring. Your intestines could be moving gases through them. Alternatively, muscles contracting can cause that sensation. Consuming meals quickly or certain foods can trigger this feeling. To find relief, try taking smaller bites, sipping water, and eating gentle foods like rice or bananas. Visit a gastroenterologist if the problem persists.

What happens when you eat food after a fly was on it
Female | 42
If you consume a fly that has landed on a food item, then you may become unwell. Flies are the source of growth factors (germs) that can cause you to get sick. In the aftermath of eating contaminated food, you may encounter stomachache, vomiting, and diarrhea. For recovery, you should drink adequate water, take some time off, and not eat more of the same food.

Can you please tell me if anything on my ultrasound would indicate liver problems or anything else of concern? EXAMINATION: ABD COMP ULTRASOUND CLINICAL HISTORY: Pancreatitis , chronic. Increased pain right upper quadrant. TECHNIQUE: 2D and color Doppler imaging of the abdomen is performed. COMPARISON STUDY: None FINDINGS: The pancreas is obscured by bowel gas. Proximal aorta is also not well seen. Mid to distal aorta is grossly normal in caliber. The IVC is patent at the level of the liver. The liver measures 15.9 cm in length with coarse echotexture and loss of architecture definition consistent with infiltrative change, nonspecific. No focal geographic abnormality identified. Hepatopetal flow in the portal vein noted. The gallbladder is normally distended with no gallstones, gallbladder wall thickening or pericholecystic fluid. Can not exclude a small amount of dependent sludge. The common bile duct measures less than 2 mm in diameter. The right kidney demonstrates normal corticomedullary differentiation. No obstructive uropathy. The right kidney is 10.6 cm in length with normal color flow. Left kidney is 10.5 cm in length with normal corticomedullary differentiation and no evidence of obstruction. The spleen is fairly homogeneous. IMPRESSION: Limited evaluation of the pancreas and proximal aorta due to bowel gas. No obvious free fluid, correlation needed, consider CT with IV contrast if additional assessment warranted. Subtle gallbladder sludge suspected. No acute cholecystitis.
Male | 39
Based on the ultrasound findings, the report mentions some observations, but it also notes limitations due to bowel gas obscuring the pancreas and proximal aorta. No focal abnormalities or gallbladder issues are identified, although a small amount of dependent sludge cannot be completely ruled out. The kidneys and spleen appear normal.Further evaluation and correlation are recommended, such as a CT scan with IV contrast, if needed. No acute cholecystitis or obvious free fluid is noted. Also make sure to consult your doctor for a comprehensive assessment and interpretation of the results.

I'm experiencing stomach ache
Female | 18
It seems you have stomach pain. Reasons for this vary - overeating or rushing meals, gas buildup, or stress can cause it. Sometimes viruses or food poisoning strike. To improve, rest up, hydrate with water, and eat simply - crackers or toast work well. However, if this persists or worsens, promptly consult a gastroenterologist.

This could be acid reflux, also called heartburn. Acid from your stomach travels back up your esophagus, causing those issues. Try avoiding spicy, fatty foods. Eat smaller portions and don't lie down right after. Elevate your head when sleeping, too. Drink plenty of water; follow a balanced diet. If symptoms persist, talk to a gastroenterologist for help. Your health matters!

I have recently noticed that my bowel movements have shown a flat side. No bleeding. I have had these hemorrhoids for at least 6 months. Some days they're almost nonexistent. Some days they pop out of the anus and feel annoying, but they hardly ever hurt in any way. It is hard to tell, but there are some days where the stool looks completely normal. No flat side that I can see. I had a colonoscopy (at 39 yrs old) 2+ years ago. A polyp was removed and 3 hemorrhoids were banded. I am very healthy. I am 2 years sober, high protein diet, strength training, active job, don't smoke, and do everything with health in mind. I take sertraline for anxiety and a few supplements. I am scheduled to see my Dr in a month. My anxiety always makes me think it's the worst! Google searches tell me that hemorrhoids won't likely change the stool shape. I am in need of answers please!
Male | 41
This can result from dietary changes or minor intestinal troubles. Hemorrhoids rarely cause flat stools. As a recent colonoscopy was done, serious worries are unlikely. Maintaining healthy habits is wise. It's advisable to inform a doctor about this during the upcoming appointment for accurate guidance.

Male | 66
This type of pain may be felt in this body area due to reasons like the digestive system, bladder, or muscles that are causing the pain. As the medication you had failed, the better thing to do is to visit a gastroenterologist. They may ask you to have other tests like an ultrasound scan to find out the definite cause of your pain.

Female | 16
Bulimia Nervosa may be the problem you are facing. Frequently vomiting may be the reason behind this. It can result in a stomach ache, throat irritation, and even tooth decay. Your body requires food to maintain good health. A physician can treat you by giving therapy and suggesting a proper diet.

I have ast/alt ratio of 1.77 but the time my blood was examined I was drunken much. Can you guide me its still same even I am drunk or not. It was ast 339 and alt 191. Kindly help
Male | 43
The report based on an AST/ALT ratio test result shows a liver enzyme ratio of 1.77 units which is slightly higher than normal and indicates the presence of possible factors e.g. liver damage, drinking alcohol, taking certain drugs. Elevated AST and ALT levels may alert the liver damage. You can ascertain the precise state of your liver by retesting your blood after you get sober and getting the necessary advice from a hepatologist.

There are many causes of stomach pain ranging from indigestion and gas to stress. Bloating and altered bowel habits might also be present in other cases. Advise her to eat smaller portions of food and stay away from spicy or fatty meals. Taking a lot of water plus engaging in light exercises such as walking can help as well. However, in case the pain doesn’t go away or becomes severe then one should seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist.

I have throat burning sensation since 2 months and not able to take spicy sour food …
Female | 34
You've been feeling a burning sensation in your throat for 2 months, which could be due to acid reflux. This happens when stomach acid comes back up into the food pipe, irritating the throat. It's a good idea to avoid spicy and sour foods for now. Try eating smaller meals, avoid lying down right after eating, and raise the head of your bed slightly. Drinking plenty of water might also help. If the symptoms don't improve, it would be wise to visit a gastroenterologist for further examination and treatment options.
