Answered on 1st Mar '25
While beetroot can cause reddish stool, other potential reasons include bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, which may not always be visible. Given her low hemoglobin and red blood cell count, it's essential to involve a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation. They can investigate further, possibly through tests or imaging, to identify the cause. Regular medical follow-ups can help monitor her condition and ensure she receives appropriate care.

I have been taking lomotil tablets 4 times a day for 3 months. Today my stomach is biting and I have frequent bowel movements. Even after taking lomotil tablets, what should I do?
Male | 46
Experiencing stomach discomfort and increased bowel movements, even after taking Lomotil, can indicate your body may be reacting to a change in your digestive health or a possible underlying issue. It's important to stay hydrated and monitor your symptoms closely. You might consider adjusting your diet to include bland foods while identifying any potential triggers. However, since these symptoms have persisted, I strongly recommend consulting a gastroenterologist. They can provide a thorough evaluation and appropriate guidance tailored to your situation.

Male | 24
You’re having a tough time with chronic constipation, weight loss, depression, anxiety, and nervousness. These symptoms may be related. Being constipated all the time can make you feel low and edgy, plus it may affect your weight. Ensure you have plenty of fluids such as water and eat foods that are high in fiber so that you can keep regular. Moreover, tell somebody how you feel because this might help reduce the feelings of anxiety or depression.

I m 21 week pregnant. My SGPT AND SGOT is 394 and 327. Already taking liver medicine prescribe by doctor. Why it is happening. Is it normal??
Female | 30
Elevated serum GOT (394) and GPT (327) levels in pregnancy are not widespread. These levers might be indicators of liver damage, which could be caused by some liver conditions or infections like Isaak's disease. Fortunately, you are already taking medication. Stick to your doctor's recommendations. Don't forget to have a healthy lifestyle that includes good food, proper hydration, and sufficient sleep. The monthly checkups can tell whether the problem is under control.

Some gastric problems and bimetic and stomach feel heavy Fever cold dry cough body pain since 10 _15 days
Female | 50
You are experiencing some stomach upset and feeling sluggish as well. If you have had a fever, cold, dry cough, or/and muscle aches for the last fortnight or more, this might indicate gastroenteritis (stomach flu) or other viral infections. Rest, take fluids only in plenty, and eat simple easily digestible meals. If the condition persists or becomes severe seek medical attention without delay.

What could be causing my abdominal pain and burning sensation, with a mild enlargement in size of my liver and spleen? I'm concerned about the possibility of a serious condition like colon cancer. Can you provide any guidance or information?
Male | 19
Mild enlargement of the liver and spleen, without any focal lesions, can have various causes and may not necessarily indicate a serious disease like colon cancer. Conditions like fatty liver disease, viral infections, inflammation, etc. can be associated with the swelling of these organs.
A proper diagnosis can only be made by a healthcare professional like a gastroenterologist after considering your complete medical history.

My advice would be to see a registered dietician, who could develop an individualized nutrition plan based on your needs and high blood sugar levels. Moreover, you should adhere to the doctor's directions about insulin dosage and timing as well as accurately measure your blood sugar level. In case of any doubts concerning your gall bladder surgery, consult a gastroenterologist

A thing like this happens if there are germs in the gland, which causes it to be infected. It leads to redness, pain, and swelling. The best thing is to visit a gastroenterologist.

I am a 18 year old female I have gerd and every morning I've been puking and I wanna know how I can get it to stop?
Female | 18
GERD, short for gastroesophageal reflux disease, can bring on such symptoms as morning sickness and the desire to vomit. This occurs when stomach acid returns to the esophagus. To bring down this, you can eat smaller meals, avoid spicy or acidic foods, don't lie down right after eating, and raise the head of your bed. These calming measures can assist you in decreasing your complaints and make you feel better.

Female | 22
It's important to understand that severe pain on the right side of your abdomen, accompanied by nausea and vomiting, can arise from various conditions, including appendicitis, gastritis, or gallbladder issues. While appendicitis is a possibility, other causes should also be considered. I recommend monitoring your symptoms closely and seeking professional medical advice. A gastroenterologist can perform necessary examinations and tests to determine the exact cause and recommend appropriate treatment.

I’m 17, and I have really bad sharp belly pains I’ve had them for 2 days, I can’t stop crying, they really really hurt and I don’t know what to do, they make me really want to fart but I can’t and feel sick
Female | 17
You're going through a tough time with those stomach pains, which you think might be constipation. Constipation can cause belly aches, nausea, and the urge to pass gas without relief. It's important to drink plenty of water, eat fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, and do some exercise to help your body function better. If the pain continues or worsens, don't hesitate to consult a gastroenterologist for advice.
