Why is my stomach biting despite lomotil tablets?
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?

Answered on 14th Feb '25
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.

Weakness tiredness anemia headache fever vomiting stomach pain
Female | Aastha
Your symptoms resemble those of a gastroenteritis infection, which is a complex term for a stomach bug. These may leave you feeling lethargic, and drowsy, and you might also experience a headache and fever. Besides these, vomiting as well as stomach aches are quite common. The most likely culprit that causes this bug is a virus or bacteria. Adequate water, rest, and the consumption of unseasoned foods are useful treatments for the illness. However, if the condition worsens, you should visit a doctor.

I am 23 years old and have been experiencing acidity with pain extending up to my neck for the past day. Please consult
Female | 23
You might be suffering from acid reflux. It occurs in a situation where the acid from the stomach moves to the esophagus thus giving a burning sensation. Lying down after eating may worsen it. Eat small meals to avoid discomfort. Stay upright after meals.
If the pain continues you should consult a gastroenterologist.

I'm getting blood in my boop while passing. Kindly help me to solve
Male | 37
Experiencing bleeding during bowel movements can be concerning, but various factors could contribute to this symptom. Common causes include hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or gastrointestinal conditions. While these may not indicate serious issues, it’s essential to identify the exact reason. To alleviate discomfort, ensure adequate hydration, incorporate fiber into your diet, and practice gentle bathroom habits. However, I encourage you to schedule a visit with a gastroenterologist to discuss your symptoms further.

Female | 30
You have been having a sense of imbalance for the last 4 to 5 days and vomiting at the slightest of food intake. These can be attributed to low blood pressure. When blood pressure reduces it is possible for you to feel dizzy and the sensation of sickness to be experienced. To help, consider drinking more water and eating small meals throughout the day.

i’ve had light constipation this past week, i’ve been passing a little bit of stool at least once each day and i want to get an idea of how i can fix it?
Female | 17
You have mild constipation. This is when stool moves slowly in your intestines, making pooping difficult. Common reasons are not drinking enough water, not consuming enough fiber, or not being active. To fix this, drink more water. Eat fruits and vegetables. Move your body by walking or exercising regularly. Constipation makes bowel movements difficult. Mild cases can be alleviated with simple lifestyle changes.

Gas formation,bloating heaviness after meal ie. Post meal fullness.please suggest remedy.
Male | 65
It looks like you're experiencing gas, bloating, and a feeling of fullness after eating. This could be due to eating too quickly, swallowing air, or consuming foods that are hard to digest. To reduce these symptoms, try eating more slowly, avoid fizzy drinks, and include probiotic foods like yogurt in your diet. Drinking peppermint tea might also help soothe your stomach.

According to the signs you’ve mentioned, it seems that you might’ve overdosed on some drugs particularly paracetamol which can harm the liver. The weight loss along with persistent symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, and fatigue is worrying. You should see a hepatologist immediately so that your liver function can be checked.

Iam 25 year old male .I had fever & fatigue in regular intervals .sleepy mode full time.i was facing an acid reflux. A pain on upper right side of chest
Male | 25
The fever, fatigue, acid reflux, and pain in the upper right side of your chest suggest you haven't been feeling well. Have you considered the possibility of having acid reflux disease? This occurs when stomach acid moves into the food pipe, causing discomfort. Avoid spicy foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down right after eating. Also, drink plenty of water daily. If your symptoms persist despite these changes, I recommend seeing a gastroenterologist for further advice.

Cozen 600mg capsules can be taken with or without food, but it's best to follow your doctor's advice for your specific condition. If you experience any stomach upset, taking it with food may help. Please consult your doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist, for personalized guidance.

My mother is having systemic sclerosis she is prescribed mycophenolalate mofitel 1000mg twice a day from last week the dose is increased to 1500mg twice a day from last week after 1500mg she is having diarrhea how to control it
Female | 41
Mycophenolate mofetil overdose might lead to diarrhea. It is one of the usual adverse effects. This can give rise to loose, watery stools and stomach upset. To lessen it, try to keep the fluid intake at a high level and eat small, light meals. If diarrhea is still there, notify it to a gastroenterologist. They may change the medicine or prescribe a drug to control the situation.

You may have some stomach issues, which could be related to fatty liver. When the liver stores too much fat, it can cause discomfort. Other signs of fatty liver include tiredness, weakness, and weight loss. Eating well, exercising, and avoiding alcohol can improve liver health.

Vomiting blood, stomach pain, yellowing skin, and blood in stools are serious signs that could indicate bleeding in your digestive system, possibly due to ulcers, liver issues, or infections. It's crucial to seek medical help immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to address the cause and prevent serious complications.

One should get medical help as soon as possible. Your symptoms indicate the possible complication of your case due to hemorrhoids, for example blood clot. As for me, I would advise turning to a gastroenterologist or proctologist immediately in order to receive the right diagnosis and treatment.

Good evening doc. I'm a 21 year old girl suffering from s case of external pile. It doesn't itch or give me severe pain, only a slight one when I'm cleaning up after using the toilet. My stool isn't hard, but i had a slight case of diarrhea for 2 days so it prompted the pile to become external, because before it'll come out a little but still go back in. I've tried icing and also using sugar on it but it hasn't improved please i need your help. Thank you.
Female | 21
You are experiencing discomfort from external hemorrhoids, which can occur due to straining or changes in stool consistency. Since you're noticing slight pain, consistent hygiene, and avoiding irritation is essential. I recommend using over-the-counter creams designed for hemorrhoid relief, applying warm compresses, and maintaining a high-fiber diet to ease bowel movements. Staying hydrated can also help. If symptoms persist or worsen, please consider seeing a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment.

My friend is 19 year old male, he have been having blood in stool, bloating, cramps, body weakness, dizzy feeling, consistently for around a month. He says sometimes he also has headaches, burning sensation in eyes. Symptoms are increasing with time. He also had stomach ulcer, around 7 years back what can be the possible diagnosis?
Male | 19
Your friend seems to have gastrointestinal bleeding, likely from his prior stomach ulcer. This can lead to bloody stool, bloating, cramps, weakness, and dizziness. The headaches and burning eyes may stem from blood loss. He must consult a gastroenterologist for proper treatment, as unaddressed bleeding can pose severe risks.
