Why is my grandfather vomiting after eating moringa?

Patient's Query

Hello dr. My grandfather is very sick He is vomiting and they last time eat moringa's vegetable

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather's condition. Vomiting can stem from various causes, including dietary issues or infections. Moringa, while nutritious, can cause digestive disturbances in some individuals. To help him, ensure he stays hydrated with clear fluids and rest is essential. If symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly, as a gastroenterologist can provide a thorough evaluation and necessary treatment.

I am 15 years old girl. I took norix1 pill today at 5:05 pm but vomited at 08:03. Do I need to take another pill now?

Female | 15

If the drug has been thrown up within a few hours of its intake, it might not have been fully absorbed into your system. Under such circumstances, it is generally advised to see a doctor to find out if you need to take another dose. One should be very careful as it is risky to take an extra dose of the drug without the proper instructions. You should also note down any other symptoms that might be associated and, when you visit the physician, get the time-appropriate 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.

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 wanted to ask why is there blood in my stool? I have had some blood in my poop before because of hemorrhoids, but I'm concerned now because this time it was more than just blood on the toilet paper, it was also on the toilet water and in the stool. When I did try to poop, it was hard and some part was sharp too, which is making me think that it was because of that, but I googled why and it made me overthink that I might have a serious problem.

Female | 15

Blood in stool can be caused by different causes like hemorrhoids, anal fissures, inflammatory bowel disease, infections, polyps. But, since there is also blood in the toilet water, so it will be prescient to consult a gastroenterologist immediately. They can do the physical examination, suggest tests, and give the required treatment.

Female | 27

Liver enlargement, for example, is a common problem that can be caused by infections and other medication usage in some ways. PCOS is a condition that may cause irregular periods and hormonal imbalances. The treatment may include medications, lifestyle changes, and also sometimes dietary modifications.

i am a 19 year old female currently about to be 36 weeks pregnant and for the past week ive had horrible diarrhea i did have fevers but they stopped two days ago now only the diarrhea remains and its only gotten worse it seems. ive been to urget care and my obgyn but they haven’t given me the answers im looking for, waiting on some test to come back. my question is my diarrhea has been bright yellow and its been every other hour. since my fever went down ive started getting pain in my stomach everytime i get up and move mainly due to needing to go to the bathroom ( baby is completely fine says the doctors and i do feel her moving the same as before) when i go to use the bathroom its like i cannot get it out only little bits of the diarrhea and now today it is black. so far its like every ten or so minutes my stomach starts hurting and i need to go back but its so swollen and has started to bleed a little bit from so much diarrhea that it really hurts but yet barley any comes out should i try a stool softener?

Female | 19

Bright yellow diarrhea may indicate bile in your stool, while black diarrhea can suggest stomach bleeding. These symptoms could be due to infections or other medical issues that need attention. In my opinion, using a stool softener may not be ideal at this time. It's important to continue following your doctor's advice closely.

I am a Female, 35 years of age, weight = 46 kg, height = 166 cm. My b12 level < 125, vit d = 9, I took arachitol 6L injection (single dose) and imbisem xp spray for b12 since last 2 weeks. I was diagnosed with Antral Gastritis and Esophagitis LA grade B in endoscopy in March 2020. Curretly, I am taking VONOMAC 20, LESURIDE 25, and CIZASPA-X empty stomach in morning once, along with IMBISEM XP spray for b12 after lunch. Can I take SORBILINE SYRUP (2 tsp) with these medicines to reduce my digestive troubles and extreme acidity? Is it safe to take this liver syrup with my ongoing gastric medicines (empty stomach daily) and b12 spray?

Female | 35

Sorbiline syrup can be of help in cases of digestive troubles and acidity. The product includes natural extracts from the liver for better digestion. Although it is usually safe to take with your current medications, it is still a good idea to check with your doctor first to avoid any interactions. You should strictly adhere to Sorbiline syrup's recommended dosage.

Fever cold. Cough vomiting

Female | 25

You may have a cold or flu. In case of the cold, after your body temperature has risen you may feel that you are feverish. Coughing and nausea may include symptoms also. It's all the body's defensive mechanisms that are at work because the immune system is under attack by viruses and bacteria. Relaxing drinking water, and eating fresh foods can also speed up recovery.

I m 40 years old. I m suffering from fissure in anus. It gives me pain

Male | 40

Fissures are little rips in the skin around the anus. Passing hard stools, diarrhea, or inflammatory bowel disease can cause them. To heal the fissure, drink plenty of water, eat foods high in fiber, and use stool softeners. You might need creams or ointments too so that it does not hurt as much and heals faster.
