Black sticky stools over the past 2 weeks may indicate bleeding in the stomach or upper intestines. This can be due to ulcers, gastritis, or even bleeding from the esophagus. Consult a gastroenterologist for a proper treatment plan.

What can treat acute pain in upper stomach
Male | 30
Belly aches around your upper stomach can signal problems like acid reflux, swollen stomach lining, or ulcers. Burning discomfort and pain may follow. Causes could be spicy foods, life stress, or medicines. If aches don't ease, it's wise to consult a gastroenterologist.

I'm having stomach pain, body cramps, fever, and loose motion and also having missed periods. Now i'm tsking medication redotil capsule
Female | 18
It appears you might be having some worrying symptoms, which could be due to various causes such as an infection, stress, or hormonal changes. Effective treatment could accordingly bring down your pain to a lower level but you must follow up on your treatment. When you drink water and you feed on soft, easily absorbable nutrients, you will not just feel relieved but will also benefit from them. Skipped periods can also show there is a problem in the background. I advise booking an appointment with a gastroenterologist who will do a thorough examination and can address the right personalized options of treatment.

Fever cold. Cough vomiting
Female | 25
You may have a cold or flu. In case of the cold, after your body temperature has risen you may feel that you are feverish. Coughing and nausea may include symptoms also. It's all the body's defensive mechanisms that are at work because the immune system is under attack by viruses and bacteria. Relaxing drinking water, and eating fresh foods can also speed up recovery.

I am 17 years old male. Had fever 10 days back, then a swollen piece on my left side of neck at backside (i think lymph nodes), also having swollen gums from 2 days. last night i had a swollen thing on upper right side of stomach, pressed it gently, some squash sound came as if some liquid popped out, after a few seconds felt burning sensation on that area. It moved to the right side when i slept on right side, moved towards upper part of navel when slept towards left side. Had cold milk but nothing felt better. What could it be?
Male | 17
Fever, swollen lymph nodes, swollen gums, and sudden swelling with a liquid sound on your stomach may be signs that infection is taking place in your body. Timely medical assistance is necessary to find out the correct cause and to treat it. Infections can be treated with antibiotics prescribed by a doctor.

I had my gallbladder removed last November, so I’m wondering if it’s safe to eat tacos, even though before I had my gallbladder removed I was told I was turning diabetic
Female | 38
Eating tacos after gallbladder removal can be safe, but it’s important to choose options wisely. High-fat ingredients may lead to digestive discomfort, as your body adapts to changes in fat processing. It’s advisable to opt for lean proteins and plenty of vegetables, while enjoying fewer rich sauces. Monitoring your blood sugar levels is key, especially with a history of glucose sensitivity. Should you experience any concerning symptoms, such as abdominal pain or unusual changes in digestion, please consult your gastroenterologist for personalized guidance. Their expertise will help ensure you maintain a balanced and healthy diet.

I am DEV from Delhi my age is 21 year old. I have stomache its kind a pain at touch never goes away from 2 months i got ct scan usg xray every report is normal i have gas problem i am so much in depression for my health kindly help me
Male | 21
Dealing with stomach troubles for two months can be tough, but the good news is that your tests are all clear! However, your ongoing pain and gas might still be caused by gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or even anxiety. Gas buildup can make things uncomfortable, so it's a good idea to watch your diet—avoid gassy foods like beans, fizzy drinks, and dairy for now. Exercise can also help relieve gas discomfort. Don't forget to manage stress, as anxiety can worsen stomach issues. Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing and meditation. If these changes don't help, it's best to revisit your gastroenterologist.

My query is gluten free meal good for high blood pressure
Male | 44
Meals without gluten may help high blood pressure. High blood pressure often has no symptoms, but it can bring headaches, chest pain, exhaustion. A gluten-free diet with veggies, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains may lower blood pressure.

Female | 38
It sounds like you're dealing with some discomfort in your stomach, which can be caused by various factors such as diet, stress, or digestive issues. Symptoms like pain and difficulty sleeping can be distressing, but there are ways to help. I recommend keeping a food diary to identify any triggers, staying hydrated, and trying gentle activities like walking. Practicing relaxation techniques may also improve your well-being. If these issues persist or worsen, please consult a gastroenterologist for personalized care.

Male | 32
The presence of blood is particularly concerning and warrants immediate attention. It's essential to avoid irritants like spicy or acidic foods and stay hydrated with soothing fluids. However, the best course of action is to see a healthcare professional as soon as possible. They can conduct a thorough evaluation from a gastroenterologist who can provide the appropriate treatment to alleviate your symptoms and address any underlying issues.

My mother under went ultrasound scan of abdomen and Pelvis, Here are the findings Cholelithiasis with Gall Bladder Mass: The presence of multiple gallstones and a mass almost completely filling the gall bladder lumen requires further evaluation with a CECT abdomen. Possible Metastatic Lymph Node: The lesion near the porta hepatis could be a metastatic lymph node, warranting further clinical and lab correlation. Need to know what does that mean
Female | 50
Your mum may have gallstones and a growth in her gallbladder according to the results of the ultrasound. Gallstones can cause pain in the upper abdomen or back, nausea, and vomiting. The mass in the gallbladder needs further investigation so another scan should be done. Also, the possible lymph node near the liver area might need more testing to know what it is. Your mum needs to see her doctor again and talk about what to do next as well as the treatment options for these things.

Yes, fatty liver grade 3 is quite serious, but it can still be reversible with proper diet and exercise.

Male | 25
The "atrophic mucosa" means the lining of your gut is unhealthy. Eating gutkha can hurt your gut, but it does not relate to gluten. With celiac disease, you may have diarrhea, weight loss, and feel tired. The fix is following a strict no-gluten diet. This means avoiding foods with wheat, barley, and rye. By doing this, your gut can heal up and you will feel better overall.

Was having mild stinginess in my throat in january and was prescribed rabeloc for 1 month followed by esomeprazole for another month. After the completion of my dose my throat was fine and the medication stopped. But in 1 week I was having a severe stabbing chest pain stomach pain . Is it because I stopped the medication or something else. As before starting the medication I never had this issue.
Female | 25
Abruptly discontinuing the medication could trigger your symptoms return. Stomach discomfort and chest pain are potential side effects when stopping acid-reducing medicines too quickly. Gradually tapering off these drugs is crucial to avoid such complications. Consult a gastroenterologist to discuss the symptoms you're experiencing and receive proper guidance on managing them effectively.

Gastric acidity stomach problems
Female | 25
Gastric discomfort can arise from various factors, such as diet, stress, or underlying health issues. Common signs include heartburn, bloating, and nausea. To alleviate symptoms, consider keeping a food diary to identify triggers, eat smaller meals, and avoid spicy or fatty foods. Staying hydrated and managing stress through relaxation techniques can also be beneficial. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, I strongly recommend consulting a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

Diarrhea after using pre probiotic capsules
Female | 56
Upon taking probiotic capsules, a fermenter may result in loose stools while the digestive system adjusts to probiotics. Common symptoms include frequent evacuation or some uneasiness. This is usually the case as the gut refits and it often goes away within several days. For relieving discomfort, it is recommended to cut the dosage and increase your water intake to avoid dehydration. Gradually reintroducing the capsules may help as well. If the symptoms remain the same or get worse after a week, it is prudent to consult a gastroenterologist to rule out issues that may be causing the symptoms.

after drinking the alchocol with the beer i got vomit the little blood what is the reason
Male | 22
The alcohol likely irritated your stomach, which can occur when consuming a lot. Throwing up blood might indicate a bleeding stomach ulcer. Look out for stomach pain, dizziness, and feeling faint. It's important to stay hydrated and avoid alcohol until you're feeling better. If it persists, seek medical attention right away.
