Why is my digestive system functioning poorly?

Patient's Query

My. Digestive system is bad

Gastroenterology

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

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.

I've been diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and find it hard to manage my symptoms. What dietary modifications can help alleviate my discomfort?

Female | 37

IBS patients often experience a sour stomach, leading to symptoms like bloating, cramps, and changes in bowel habits. Certain foods can worsen these symptoms, such as dairy, spicy foods, caffeine, and artificial sweeteners. Eating small meals, drinking enough water, and avoiding trigger foods can help. Fiber-rich foods and probiotics may also be beneficial. Since everyone is different, keep a food diary to track what works best for you.

It seems that you are still having the same problem of backache and bright red bleeding. This is very dangerous. The collection of the symptoms may be a result of different reasons that are related to your history like hemorrhoids, consequences of hernia repairs you have had before, or other issues that are hiding. It's vital for a careful and thorough check-up by a gastroenterologist.

Weight gain does not simply rely on medications. A balanced diet that contains a good amount of proteins and carbohydrates, plus regular physical activity can aid you to gain weight healthily. A nutritionist or dietician will help develop a suitable nutrition plan for your health status and your body type. If you have any difficulty related to weight gain, then going to an endocrinologist or gastroenterologist will help you find the hidden cause of the problem and receive proper treatment.

The symptoms you have could be the digestive issues you are having or the changes in your body after surgery. Stomach upset can occur since the body is getting used to the absence of a gall bladder. Mouth sores might be connected to the changes in your digestion affecting your oral health. Eating small, frequent meals, avoiding fatty or spicy foods, and staying hydrated may help. Nevertheless, you should consult a gastroenterologist for individualized guidance.

I fell little bit of pain while poop comes out and there is a small red balloon like struture present . What is this ?

Female | 17

Feeling uncomfortable during bowel movements, possibly with something like a small, balloon-like structure appearing, can be an indicator of hemorrhoid or anal polyp. These are common and can be caused by things such as the exertion of pressure during stool passage or sitting for too long. To ease the symptoms, you should make sure you have sufficient fiber intake, you should drink a lot of water, and ensure that you maintain good hygiene. The over-the-counter creams can also ease the torture. Nevertheless, it's a must to see a gastroenterologist for a precise diagnosis as well as a proper remedy.
