Questions & Answers on "Gastroenterology" (1253)

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.

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.

I am 33 years old. I have constipation, loss of apoetite and sleeplessness.

Male | 33

Bowel disorders like constipation, lower appetite, and sleep disturbances come to your attention, and it is very natural for you to feel worried. Environmental stress, dietary changes, or any other underlying health issues could result in these ailments. One of the measures to overcome chronic constipation is the use of high fiber foods in your regular diet, drinking enough water, and being active in exercise. Where the issue of healthy appetite is concerned and better sleep is considered, the setting up of a regular daily program in combination with the practice of some kind of relaxation techniques to cope with stress can be the key. Still, if these manifestations are prolonged, I would advise you on making an appointment with a specialist who will carry out a full analysis and give you personal suggestions. Your health is crucial, and obtaining constant help from a physician may be the right way.

Is excessive urine also a symptom of peeliya or fatty liver

Male | 18

Pee turns dark yellow in yellow fever. Peeliya is liver-derived trouble that is the usual etiology, while fatty liver syndrome is primarily related to a bad diet. As a measure, try to eat a balanced and healthy diet and avoid the use of fatty foods too.

Female | 31

Experiencing a burning sensation after eating can be caused by factors like acid reflux (GERD), spicy or acidic foods, food allergies, ulcers, or other reasons. It's advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. They can assess your symptoms and medical history to identify the underlying cause and recommend appropriate measures to alleviate the discomfort.

MY sister underwent a laparoscopic surgery to remove gall bladder due to stone and found appendix also , was also removed. Now its been 2 months and she is experiencing weight loss and less appetite. when checked blood found SGOT-72.54 AND SGPT 137.47, what is the reason

Female | 27

Your sister's we­ight loss and reduced appetite­ after surgery are normal. He­r body is adjusting to the change. High SGOT and SGPT blood levels indicate live­r inflammation, which is common post-surgery. This also affects appetite­. Follow up with her doctor. They may recomme­nd diet changes or medicine­s to help her re­cover and regain appetite­.

My gran is a 64 year old female. She started vomiting over 6 hours ago. She can’t eat or hold anything down. She’s also complaining of a headache and pain on her right side. What can we do to help? She is on insulin and hypertension medication

Female | 64

Vomiting, headaches, and pain on her right side can mean she has pancreatitis, which is very serious. Take her to the hospital now. They’ll be able to find out what’s wrong and make her feel better. Also, bring along her insulin and any medicine she takes for high blood pressure.
