Is it a Stomach Bug or Ulcerative Colitis Flare Up?

Ulcerative colitis flare up or stomach bug?

Dr. Samrat Jankar

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

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.

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.

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 have pain under my left and right rib that won’t go away

Male | 28

A gastroenterologist should also be seen if pain under the left or right rib is present, because many gastrointestinal disorders may cause pain as a symptom of pancreatitis, gallbladder disease and gastritis.

If my gallbladder is already removed can I have a baby and how long does it take for me to get my prieod please

Female | 36

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.
