Answered on 26th Feb '25
Persistent heartburn can arise from various factors, such as diet, stress, or even certain medications. While pantoprazole is effective for many, if symptoms continue, it's essential to explore other possible causes. I recommend evaluating your dietary choices, like spicy or acidic foods, and considering lifestyle adjustments, such as avoiding late meals and elevating your head while sleeping. However, it's crucial to consult a gastroenterologist for personalized advice and further evaluation.

What is normal level of lipase
Male | 17
An individual can find the chubby substance-dissolving macromolecule in this system. It commonly breaks down between 0 to 160 units per liter when it is in a healthy person’s bloodstream. Having a high level of lipase can indicate something wrong with your pancreas. Some signs that someone has too much lipase may include pain in their stomach or feeling sick; they might also have a fever, etc.

Male | 30
You likely have gastritis, which refers to the inflammation of the stomach lining due to irritants. Gastritis can result in various symptoms including pain, bloating, and digestion difficulties. Pain that occurs below the left rib cage may also be a possible result of gas accumulated in the colon. The causes of these problems may be attributed to eating too fast, spicy foods, stress, or an infection. To improve your health, eat smaller meals, avoid spicy foods, and practice stress management.

I vomit more than 16 times n now I'm having lower back pain since 2 weeks what should I do?
Female | 23
Frequent vomiting and persistent lower back discomfort can indicate underlying issues that require attention. Dehydration or an electrolyte imbalance might result from excessive vomiting, while back pain could stem from muscle strain or other causes. It's essential to maintain hydration by sipping clear fluids and consider light, nutritious foods. However, given the severity and duration of your symptoms, I strongly recommend consulting a gastroenterologist. A thorough evaluation can help identify the root cause and guide you toward appropriate treatment.

Abdominal pain is not generally caused by uric acid. Leg pain, finger pinching, and fatigue could have various causes unrelated to uric acid levels. If you are suffering from a long time, you should visit a gastroenterologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Male | 20
You may have some issues with your kidneys or your urinary system. The pain in your lower abdomen and back might indicate a kidney infection or kidney stones which are the probable causes. Other symptoms to watch for are a frequent need to pee, burning when you go, or cloudy urine. It is unlikely to go away by itself and you should drink a lot of water and visit a gastroenterologist as soon as possible to make sure it is checked.

I went to govt hospital twice but they didn't listen full and suggest medicine along with injections and that worsened it.
Male | 27
You may be suffering from what is called alternating constipation and diarrhea. It stems from different factors like diet, stress, or some deeper hormonal condition. The signs of this illness are sometimes the lack of bowel movements, which is bloating in addition to stomach aches and diarrhea. To ward off this problem, you need to consume roughage in the diet, and stay hydrated by taking at least eight glassfuls of water a day, as well as working towards eliminating stress. If the situation does not improve, you should talk to a gastroenterologist who will make the diagnosis.

Male | 22
You may have a condition called food allergies. It is a case of the body reacting overly to some food items. Symptoms can be a painful stomach rash and a soft stool. Keeping a food diary is the best way to identify the specific food is causing the reaction. The food to be avoided is the one you already know as the trigger. The result of this is symptom disappearance and no more loss of mass.

Male | 23
Constipation can arise from a lack of fiber and hydration, while the mass and itching may indicate irritation or remnants from previous issues. To improve your situation, focus on increasing fiber intake—fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help. Staying well-hydrated is also crucial. Over-the-counter stool softeners like docusate sodium may provide additional relief. However, it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist to ensure proper treatment and to evaluate any concerns regarding your symptoms.

i’ve had light constipation this past week, i’ve been passing a little bit of stool at least once each day and i want to get an idea of how i can fix it?
Female | 17
You have mild constipation. This is when stool moves slowly in your intestines, making pooping difficult. Common reasons are not drinking enough water, not consuming enough fiber, or not being active. To fix this, drink more water. Eat fruits and vegetables. Move your body by walking or exercising regularly. Constipation makes bowel movements difficult. Mild cases can be alleviated with simple lifestyle changes.

These symptoms can arise from various issues, including digestive problems, muscle strain, or stress.

Stomach aches, headaches, and vomiting are all common indications of various types of problems, including an infection in the bladder. This disease, usually prompted by bacteria, can cause symptoms such as stomach pain and gastro. Keep track of your child’s water intake and let him/her get some rest. Among other things, remember that you can use non-prescribed drugs if it helps but, always, first consult a gastroenterologist.

Severe burning pain in upper abdomen happens with hunger, food, and drink.

You likely have gastritis - this is when your stomach lining becomes irritated. Gastritis causes burning pain in your upper belly. This pain occurs when you're hungry, eating, or drinking. Spicy foods, stress, and certain meds could cause it. Avoid foods that trigger the pain. Drinking water may help too. If the pain doesn't go away, visit a gastroenterologist.

My. Digestive system is bad
Male | 19
The classic signs of it are abdominal pain, swelling, inconsistent bowel movements, or discomfort after eating. These issues can relate to several causes, such as food choices, the impact of stress, or particular unfavorable conditions. To diminish stomach upset, think about taking in adequate amounts of foods high in fiber, staying hydrated, and mastering stress using some relaxation techniques. In addition to this, regular physical activity contributes to healthy digestion. In case you still find no relief by these means, I would urge you to make an appointment with a gastroenterologist. They will do a thorough evaluation and give treatments directly related to your case.

When ever my mother come back from washroom she is having seviour throat pain
Female | 64 years
Your mother appears to be in great distress after the passage of the toilet, which can happen due to the lack of humidity in the air, allergies, or even muscle strain. Make sure she is well-hydrated and the use of a humidifier is the best way to reduce the discomfort in her throat. Some warmth like teas and lozenges can ease pain by calming the throat. Nevertheless, the control of her condition is of prime importance. In the case of the problem's further occurrence, it would be rational to seek help from a gastroenterologist who will carry out a complete examination and give you the necessary guidance on treatment.

Male | 28
You might be suffering from a hernia in your lower left abdomen. A hernia is a condition in which an organ or a tissue pushes through a weak area in the surrounding muscle. So it is possible that it feels like a bulge when you touch it. Hernias can sometimes be painless, but it's always a good idea to see a doctor to make sure of a diagnosis. Treatment usually includes surgery to repair the hernia. Visit a gastroenterologist to make sure you get the right treatment.
