Answered on 25th Sept '24

Pain in the upper stomach can be caused by various factors, including indigestion, acid reflux, or a stomach ulcer. Symptoms may include a burning sensation, bloating, or feeling overly full. To help alleviate the discomfort, try eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy foods, and not lying down immediately after eating. If the pain persists or worsens, visit a gastroenterologist.

I done blood test and anti-hbs is positive what does it mean?

Male | 24

If your blood test shows that anti-HBs is positive, it means that you have antibodies against the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). This result indicates that you are either immune to hepatitis B or have been successfully vaccinated against the virus.

What will happen to my body I am on strike for 24 days not eating food and just take 2 sips of cold water twice a day?

Female | 33

If you don't consume food for a month and only take sips of plain water not very often, your body is going to be very weak. There could be lightheadedness when competent thinking and muscles can even become smaller. In addition to being harmful to your organs, this also can be a matter of life and death. Eat properly to remain healthy. Try to take tiny portions of food and drink water many times in the day.

I am 24 years old , female , weight around 49 kg , height 5'2" . Past three days I am extremely experiencing loss of appetite, I suffered through runny nose then blockage of nose after which I spit mucus through my throat and for which I always feel like I am going to vomit also not feeling at all to eat anything which in turn making me more tired and fatigued by the end of the day . What I should do to increase my appetite or so that some interest I would get to eat something.

Female | 24

A common cold can make you lose your appetite. Typical cold symptoms include a runny or blocked nose, mucus in your throat, and nausea. To improve your appetite, drink plenty of fluids, stay hydrated, and eat light, easy-to-digest foods like soups, fruits, and yogurt. Give yourself time to recover and rest. If your symptoms don't improve or get worse, contact your doctor for further advice.

Hello, I am a 19yo male. Months ago, I had some neurological symptoms and went to hospital. There, a blood test showed that I had really low B12 vitamin (under 90 pg/mL). I had some shots to increase B12 levels and hospital adviced me to go to GP and have gastroscopy and colonoscopy to find the cause of the deficiency, because it was not normal at that age to have that low b12 levels. So, the days I was taking the B12 shots and planning to go to a GP, I had some bowel symptoms, including changes in stool size (small-thin and rounded / however not hard to pass), and rarely a little blood on them. When I went to the GP, I told him the whole story and told me that I had to do some other blood tests first to see if there is any gastric inflammation and then we would see if endoscopy is needed. After doing several blood tests (ECR, CRP, etc..) and faecal calprotectin test, GP told me that results were normal and did not show any inflammation in stomach or colon, so no endoscopy was needed. He told me that these symptoms were from functional gastrointestinal disorders and hemmorhoids. All of these happened like 6 months before. Now, I still have small-thin and rounded stools (rarely i pass normal stools but most of times they are like that) - blood is very rare and in small amount. Generally, my diet is normal (includes fiber), i drink a lot of water, no anxiety, not anaemic, normal weight and I exercise. So, these changes in bowel habits that happened months ago (without having any lifestyle change) + little blood rarely + the B12 defficiency I had, make me think I should visit another GP and push for a colonoscopy. I tried to search if increasing B12 would cause such changes in bowel habits, but did not find something. The only family history I know are that some first degree relatives had a small B12 defficiency without symptoms and second degree relative had gastrectomy a lot of years ago. I am a little panicked because Ive been seeing colon cancer is on the rise among young people and unreasoned bowel changes that dont leave soon + blood (however mine is very rarely and little) may be red flag. Especially most cases in young people are advanced stages becaus they are not caught early. Thanks for reading till the end, what do you suggest me to do? Go to another GP? And even push for endoscopy? Finally, could the cause of hard pebble stool be somehow (?) the elevation of B12 so my system need some time to go back to normal again? Because B12 deficiency was slowly developing for years.

Male | 19

While low B12 levels can affect the body in many ways, they usually don’t impact bowel habits like this. It’s great that you’ve had some tests, and they’ve ruled out any inflammation in your stomach or colon. Your symptoms might be due to functional gastrointestinal disorders or hemorrhoids, which are quite common and generally not too serious. Keep an eye on your symptoms, and try not to worry too much. However, if you’re still concerned, getting a second opinion from another doctor might help give you peace of mind.

morning azithromycin 500 mg and night flagyl 400 can take

Male | 44

You're probably going through an infection. Your doctor is probably targeting different kinds of bacteria using azithromycin 500 mg in the morning and Flagyl 400 mg at night. Do not stop taking the medications even if you start feeling better. Prolong the treatment to ensure complete eradication of the infection. If you have any concerns or notice any unusual side effects, it's important to let your doctor know.

My fiancee has been diagnosed with gluten intolerance and on the scale is a 3.8, being 0.2 away from being classed as having celiac disease. If he carried on eating gluten like normal, would he eventually develop celiacs disease? And if not should he cut gluten out anyway?

Male | 39

Bloating, diarrhea, and fatigue are some common symptoms of gluten sensitivity. In some cases, if a person keeps consuming foods containing this protein, they may develop celiac disease – an illness that makes the body react even more harshly towards gluten. To avoid further harm and discomfort, it would be best if he stopped eating anything with wheat or any other sources of gluten immediately.

I'm going through the condition of food allergy and intolerance. Want to seek consultation for same. I've got the tests done ok n advice of my gastroenterologist. Now seeking advice from Immunologist/allergist. Plz let me know incase you can help me.

Female | 41

Sure! You might have food allergies or intolerances, which can make certain foods cause problems like stomach aches, rashes, or trouble breathing. These happen because your body mistakenly thinks some foods are harmful. The best thing to do is avoid these trigger foods. An allergist can help you find out which foods to avoid and how to manage your symptoms.

33 years old, felt uncomfortable with my gut, feeling bloated and excessive burping and sometimes air release in back. Burping in empty stomach. Changes in stool cycle

Male | 33

You may have metabolic disorders. Indigestion manifests bloating, burping excessively, and change of stool cycle. This occurs as a result of the trouble of your stomach in digesting food. Fast eating or consuming particular food items can be the reasons behind it. Embrace a meal plan of smaller sizes and slower eating, while incorporating trigger food items such as spicy or fatty foods into your diet.
