Visit a gastroenterologist regarding acid reflux of your friend. In case if the symptoms are persistent with the use of over-the-counter medication, then visit a specialist. The loss of weight without any reason is also an alarm symptom which needs to be looked at urgently.

I'm 23 years old male and I'm suffering from stomach issue.. Whenever i eat something i start suffering from bloating and diarrhea. It has not cured yet. What should i do I took rifadox 550 bt its of no use either.
Male | 23
You might be suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This condition leads to bloating and diarrhea after meals. Foods that are fatty, contain dairy products or gluten may set it off. Try to stay away from these kinds of foods. When you are stressed out it can also make the situation worse so take it easy on yourself and do some light exercises like walking. Drinking lots of water will help with loose stool relief too. I would recommend going to see a gastroenterologist who can provide further evaluation & treatment options.

It sounds like you’re experiencing pain and stiffness on the left side of your abdomen. These symptoms can be caused by many things, such as gas, constipation, or even muscle strain. To relieve the pain, try drinking lots of water, eating high-fiber foods, and avoiding gassy foods. If the pain doesn’t go away or gets worse, make sure to see a gastroenterologist.

Hello doctor can I take esomeprazole whenever I get symptoms on and off for example only for a day
Female | 26
If you are having symptoms like heartburn, digestive laxatives, or acid reflux on and off, it is advisable to avoid esomeprazole as a self-medication. The possible reason for these symptoms is the malfunction of your stomach acid. However, talking with a gastroenterologist will enable you to arrive at the appropriate treatment alternative. Taking esomeprazole without appropriate consultation may not eliminate the actual cause of your symptoms.

Indigestion problem.gas problem.constipation
Female | 226
Indigestion happens when your stomach has trouble digesting food. You might feel bloated, gassy, or constipated. Overeating or certain foods can cause this. Try eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy foods, and drinking more water. These steps can help digestion and ease discomfort.

I've anal pain after and during bowel movement
Male | 20
Many people experience discomfort around their behind when using the restroom. This can result from pushing too forcefully, being constipated, or having a small tear in the skin by the back passage. Fiber helps make bowel movements easier. Drink water regularly and don't strain excessively. If the painful feeling lingers, consult a gastroenterologist to identify any underlying problems.

My daughter is having some, stomach problems for the past week top of stomach has been hard although she, eats she feels bloated and her, stomach works
Female | 19
This occurs when the food in her abdomen is not digested well. The feeling of hardness over the top and swelling of the stomach are common signs. Eating too quickly or certain types of food can bring this about. Advise her to take things slowly while having meals and avoid foods that could trigger indigestion such as spicy or fatty dishes. Drinking plenty of fluids may also help relieve discomfort. However, if these symptoms persist then it would be advisable for you to seek further medical advice from a gastroenterologist.

You may be experiencing something that needs careful attention, especially if the pain is spreading and causing dizziness or forgetfulness. These symptoms could be due to several reasons, such as digestive issues, nerve-related concerns, or even a gynecological condition. Please visit a gastroenterologist or consult with a gynecologist for a detailed check-up and the right advice.

IBS is a disorder that affects the digestive system and can be triggered by stress, certain foods, or medications. To help manage your symptoms, consider avoiding trigger foods like spicy or fatty foods and try adding more fiber to your diet. Drinking enough water and managing stress through relaxation exercises can also be helpful. If these tips don't work, it might be helpful to talk to a gastroenterologist. They can suggest other treatment options or make changes to your current medications.

it started a month ago, at night i felt a burning sensation in my chest for about an hour and then followed by back pain and chest pain in the morning. Few days before that i was having a feeling that i was getting choked at night for 3 consecutive days whenever i tried to sleep. I went to the doctor and he said it is possibly GERD and prescribed me medicines but the medicine didnt help and i had this very intense back apin that got into the shoulders and left arm. Then i went again to the doctor and he made me do ecg but results were normal. So he said maybe symptoms of GERD. But now its been month and i still have a constricting feelingin my chest and a sharp needle like pain below the chestbone that comes and goes along with a back pain.
Male | 21
Stomach acid flowing back into the esophagus might cause your issue. It's called GERD. GERD brings chest pain, back pain, choking sensations. Sometimes needles-like pain under chestbone too. Eat smaller meals for GERD relief. Avoid spicy foods. Raise bed head while sleeping. If it persists, a gastroenterologist's visit is essential. They'll evaluate further and adjust treatment if needed.

It is recommended to make an appointment with a gastroenterologist or a proctologist and to do all necessary tests to get a definite diagnosis for your condition. Hard pain in the perianal area during the defecation is caused by different diseases like anal fissures or hemorrhoids.

My aunt has kidney problems. She undergoes kidney dialysis twice a week. She has worms in her intestines. He started taking exantal 500 mg along with vermox 500 mg to treat worms. After taking the medicines, there are worms in their intestines, they are coming out in thousands through the stool. So how long will they have to take the pills they are taking? The bugs are very small and there are black bugs along with big white bugs. Please tell me if there is any other treatment for this.
Female | 50
Your aunt has intestinal worms, but the good news is that medications like Exantal and Vermox can help get rid of them. It’s normal for worms to appear in the stool after taking the medication. She may need to continue taking the pills for a few more days to ensure all the worms are gone. If she still has worms after completing the treatment, it's important to consult the doctor for further options.

I have been prescribed Famotidine and sucralfate for gerd And i have to take it twice a day can i take them at the same time in the morning and then at the same time in the afternoon or
Female | 27
GERD, an issue with stomach acid going up the food pipe, leads to heartburn and indigestion. Your doctor ordered Famotidine and sucralfate to ease symptoms. Take them each morning and night. Famotidine reduces acid production, while sucralfate creates a protective coating inside your stomach. Following instructions carefully will help manage discomfort. Famotidine decreases acid levels. Sucralfate forms a barrier to shield against irritation. Together, they can provide relief for your condition.

Female | 30
You have been having a sense of imbalance for the last 4 to 5 days and vomiting at the slightest of food intake. These can be attributed to low blood pressure. When blood pressure reduces it is possible for you to feel dizzy and the sensation of sickness to be experienced. To help, consider drinking more water and eating small meals throughout the day.

Can i take probiotics capsules with liver syrup?
Male | 27
You can usually take probiotic capsules along with liver syrup. Probiotics add beneficial bacteria for gut health, while liver syrup supports liver function. Taking both may help maintain a well-balanced gut, but it's best to take them at different times of the day to ensure they work effectively. Always follow the directions on the labels for the best results.

i drank too much alcohol im fine now though but want to make sure because im worried
Male | 21
After ingesting a large quantity of alcohol, it is fundamental to introspect about your body. Are you feeling better now? That's good! Most of the time, common symptoms of drinking too much include headache, nausea, and feeling tired. Heavy drinking can lead to damage to the liver and brain. For the sake of the body's recovery, water should be maintained high, healthy foods have to be eaten, and some rest should be taken.

The infection fixed but my intestines are now destroyed. The rectum encounters occasional pain (stabbing like) after using the toilet and the stool is covered in mucus. The stool color is dark red/ brown. No diarrhea. Heart pain that radiates to the left arm, probably under reactive inflammatory context. No tachycardia. Do I have to start 250mg vancomycin hydrochloride PO each 6 hours for 7 days? All the doctors in my city are saying that this antibiotic is only for diarrhea people. What should I do? I'm also nauseous. Took fluconazole 3 weeks then itraconazole 3 weeks in winter, no help, just probably made the situation worse. Today WBC 11.9. Anti-streptolysin, sedimentation rate & reactive C protein are normal. Abdominal tomography displayed inflamed lymph nodes around aorta (reactive inflammatory context). What would you do if you were me? Not currently taking any medication/ having any known condition.
Male | 29
Your symptoms seem worrying. The dark red or brown stool mixed with mucus and rectal pain points to issues in your intestines. Additionally, heart pain and a high white blood cell count raise concerns. Vancomycin usually treats bacterial infections, not these symptoms. It's crucial to consult a gastroenterologist. They can evaluate you properly based on your test results and medical history.
