This could be because of a condition called dysphagia, which is the difficulty in passing food down the throat. She could opt for taking in smaller sizes and try her best to keep away from hot foods. Water is also another good option. In case the condition persists, she should visit a gastroenterologist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

I have been experiencing pain through my entire abdomen for the past two days, it is dull, it comes and goes, there is a little bit of bloating and a slight change in stool, any ideas what could it be?

Female | 34

Pain in entire ABDOMEN,, dull,,, bloating,,, change in stool.. These symptoms suggest gastrointestinal DISTRESS.. It could be anything from gas to indigestion.. However, if the PAIN is severe or accompanied by vomiting or fever,, it could indicate a more serious condition like appendicitis or pancreatitis.. It's best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment..

online Doctor Dashboard / My Health Queries / Query Thread Query Thread Answered Your Query8 hours ago Consulted for: Mr.HARSHA K N (Myself) , Age: 22, Gender: Male Hello, I am Harsha K N In december 14th 2023, I got admitted for frequent bowel movements with mucus for whole night. I got colonoscopy done on 15th dec in which they indicated it as "Ulcerative Proctosigmoiditis" and they had suggested mesacol OD and SR fil enema . In the 3rd follow up on 21st march 2024, they did a sigmoidoscopy and there it was said as "ulcers in rectosigmoid are 75% healed and in rectum it has healed completely, and also in the indication they have mentioned as "healing SRUS". So i got a bit confused about my condtion that it is' ulcerative colitis' or 'SRUS'. And also it would be helpful if got an explanation of difference between UC and SRUS because i could not be able to find out.

UC and SRUS have some things that are the­ same, but they are a bit diffe­rent. UC impacts your big intestine, making it re­d and sore. You may get loose poop, be­lly pain, and blood in your poop. SRUS often causes blee­ding from your rear end, gooey discharge­, and trouble controlling your poop. Meds that reduce­ redness help with UC, while­ SRUS may need food with lots of fiber and poop softe­ners.

I've been diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and find it hard to manage my symptoms. What dietary modifications can help alleviate my discomfort?

Female | 37

IBS patients often experience a sour stomach, leading to symptoms like bloating, cramps, and changes in bowel habits. Certain foods can worsen these symptoms, such as dairy, spicy foods, caffeine, and artificial sweeteners. Eating small meals, drinking enough water, and avoiding trigger foods can help. Fiber-rich foods and probiotics may also be beneficial. Since everyone is different, keep a food diary to track what works best for you.

I am 53 years old female, lives with Chrohn disease already taken Pentasa drug but Pentasa makes it worsened.i have abdominal pain after eating.what should I do now...

Female | 53

Abdominal pain after eating may be caused by the swelling of your intestines, which is a common symptom of Crohn's disease. You may ask your doctor to let you try a different drug that might work better for your condition. The right medication that is most effective for you and is helping with your symptoms should be found out soon. Therefore, you should not forget to tell your doctor about the other treatment possibilities.

Morning have been having stomachpain since Friday cos I ate late and am still having pain and I can't tolerate anything cos whenever I lay down I keep throwing up

Female | 29

It looks like you damaged your gastric mucosa or, perhaps, you have a stomach ulcer. It is crucial to see a gastroenterologist as quickly as you can for the accurate root cause of your symptoms and the best treatment. In the interim, it would be wise to steer clear of foods that may irritate your stomach and drink a good amount of water to remain hydrated.
