Ulcerative colitis flare up or stomach bug?
Surgical Gastroenterologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
Sometimes flare-ups of ulcerative colitis and stomach bugs show the same symptoms, such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cramps. However, a stomach bug is usually a short-lived infection that may disappear on its own while ulcerative colitis is a chronic condition that needs medical intervention. Visit a gastroenterologist who can effectively make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment.

Stomach pain for upper side left after 6 hr later
Female | 16
You mentioned stomach pain on your upper left side started six hours back. This could result from various factors: gas, indigestion, or mild infection. Wolfing down food or certain edibles might trigger it too. Try resting, drinking lots of water, avoid spicy/heavy meals. However, if discomfort persists or worsens, promptly seek medical advice.

"Good evening, doctor. My niece, born on July 30, 2024, has not had a proper bowel movement for six days. We previously experienced a similar issue on August 8th, waited three days, and consulted the doctor on August 11th. The prescribed Neopeptine medicine induced a bowel movement on August 12th. However, since then, she has only been urinating, with no further bowel movements. Additionally, we've noticed a white, creamy discharge in her genital area. Please advise on the next steps, doctor. Her weight remains at 2.543 kg
Female | 20 days
From the looks of it, she might be suffering from constipation, which is a condition when it is hard for the person to pass out stool. This may occur for different reasons such as dietary changes or lack of water intake. The white, creamy discharge may be the usual one, but it is best to be safe and keep an eye on it. To help her, try giving her water, fruits, and vegetables. If the problem persists, she might need to see her pediatrician for more advice.

Couldn't eat anything coz of gastritis and I'm only taking avocado juice for almost a month. I feel fatigue and have headaches with dizziness.
Female | 29
Gastritis can make eating hard, and having avocado juice isn't giving your body all it needs. Symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and dizziness can happen when you lack essential nutrients. To feel better, try eating small, gentle meals. Foods such as oatmeal, bananas, or toast can be friendly to your stomach. Rest and stay hydrated as well.

What food is best is ice cream, tea cakes, fibre flakes ok if I have chronic ibs
Male | 42
If you are suffering from chronic IBS, the best diet to go for would be easy foods on your tummy. Ice cream, tea cakes, and fiber flakes may be questionable choices. Ice cream might be the cause of your stomachache, and tea cakes are too sweet. On the other hand, fiber flakes could be a high-fiber one, which can trigger IBS symptoms such as bloating and cramps and therefore be a reason for the worsening of the condition. You should make it a point to eat unseasoned foods like rice, cooked vegetables, and lean proteins to assist in calming your stomach.

Sever stomach bloating with pain
Male | 56
Stomach pain plus bloating can result from speed eating, gulping air, or too much food. Intestinal gas might cause this, too. It makes your tummy feel big and tight. Try these tips: eat slowly, avoid gassy items like soda, take a walk. If the pain's really bad or keeps returning, talk to a gastroenterologist.

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.

Am anand having breathing problem (aspiration )due to GERD for last week. Kindly prescribe tablets for this and food habit for gerd recovery. No pain in chest and abdomen, only breathing issue. Ecg normal.
Male | 37
GERD is a disorder that occurs when stomach acid comes back into the food pipe. The food pipe is what brings the food to the stomach. This can result in breathing problems as well. In this case, you can take antacids such as Tums or Rolaids to help with the acid. Avoid spicy, fatty, and acidic foods. Try to eat smaller meals and do not lie down right after eating. This can make you feel better.

I am a 20year old who has been vomiting everything I eat or drink for the past one week and I have been having headaches frequently, what could be the issue
Female | 20
Might it be the case that you are having a migraine? Headache-inducing and vomiting-causing migraines. When you throw up, the body is attempting to eliminate the pain. Drink a lot of water and rest in a dark and quiet place. Stress or certain foods should be avoided as they are triggering. If symptoms persist, it is important to see a gastroenterologist.

Hi so I took omeprazole for 1 month because of GERD, now I’m off it and back on Vyvanse but my vyvanse doesn’t work at all after the omeprazole, it doesn’t activate, how come?
Male | 27
Omeprazole decreases the bioavailability of Vyvanse by blocking its uptake.
For the GERD, it is recommended to see a gastroenterologist for its management and psychiatrist in case of prescribing Vyvanse.

28 female. Worsening digestive issues. Bloating, nausea, constipation, early satiety, sharp abdominal pain lasting for hours, weight loss, fatigue. Currently 86lbs. Medication does not help. Dietary changes do not help. Absolute eosinophils 1081
Female | 28
The symptoms you listed, such as bloating, nausea, constipation, early fullness, harsh belly pain, and weight loss, can be due to what is called Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis. This shows that your gut has too many white blood cells. So, this is the reason to look for a gastroenterologist and receive the appropriate treatment.

Gas problem Bahut jyada h or vomate or anxiety feel hota h ,, dawa khane per thik ho jati h fir vaise hi problem AA jata h ab kya kare?
Female | 42
The gas issue you describe is quite common. It can occur if you consume excessive spicy or oily foods or experience high stress levels. If medication provides temporary relief, dietary and lifestyle changes are necessary. Increase small meal portions. Avoid spicy and oily dishes. Utilize stress management techniques. Through these adjustments, you can gain control over this digestive concern. If not, visit a gastroenterologist.

Pain on the left side can come from things like muscle cramps or gas. Swollen belly and mouth sores could mean you have an infection or tummy trouble. Drinking lots of water, eating good foods, and getting rest can help. But if it keeps happening, you should see a gastroenterologist. They can find out what is wrong and give you the right help.

This should not pose a problem when trying to conceive after gallbladder removal. In terms of your menstrual cycle, recovery time is different for all and can take a few weeks to several months. If you want to know more about this, see an obstetrician/gynecologist.
