A gastric balloon can be implanted by a gastroenterologist. It is a minimally invasive procedure in which a small balloon is placed in your stomach that helps you feel fuller and thus reduces food intake.

Hi Sir, kindly help me out to get out confusion and frustration. This is my Clinical summary -Rohan, a 29-year-old male, presented with chief complaints of reflux symptoms and severe abdominal pain persisting for the past 3 months.Sometimes diarrhea.Upon examination, his vital signs were stable. Diagnostic procedures, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy, were performed, leading to the diagnosis of a duodenal ulcer, pan gastritis and pathological findings of lymphocytic colitis. The treatment approach involved the administration of medications, as mentioned in the prescription, to manage the condition. Regular follow-up visits were recommended to monitor the progress and adjust the treatment regimen accordingly. After two and a half months of treatment, significant improvement was noted, with no abdominal pain reported, and the patient's overall well-being has improved. Consequently, the dosage of medications has been reduced. Continued monitoring and adherence to the prescribed treatment plan are necessary to ensure complete resolution of symptoms and prevent recurrence. This was my condition eight months ago. Right now I am very frustrated because of gut problem. It's paining even after following treatment and strict diet for eight months. I almost lost 8 kg. I went for second opinion My doctor told me that your ulcers are healed completely.And lymphocytic colitis was misdiagnosed. Now It's a IBS that causing the pain and not colitis.He prescribed me Librax(Clinidium+chlorobenzodioxide) along with Amixide h(chlorodizapoxide +amitryptiline) . Whenever my gut starts paining I took it and pain fade away.I am very confused about this.Stomach pain goes away and comes back. About year ago this problem has started. And just take those above medicines to cope up with pain One more thing to add here is that I was diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) few years back. I was taking escitalopram( Lexapro 10 mg)on and off prescribed by psychiatrist.But My Gastroenterologist told me to stop using lexapro as it can cause ulcer. Can you guys help me to correctly understand the disease and ways to overcome it.

It seems that this disease has reached you without any diagnostic problem, and it turns out to be IBS.
The doctor associated with the management of your symptoms and provision of relief is putting you on medication which includes Librax (Clinidiumchlorobenzodioxide) and Amixide H (chlorobenzodioxide amitriptyline). This particular type of drug worked effectively in relieving you from the pain just like it had no existence at all.
It is necessary to emphasize that IBS can be long-term and would probably demand long-term therapy. You are advised by your doctor to follow the instructions as they have been given and take all the medications that have been prescribed to you as directed. Close visits with the gastroenterologist are vital to achieving progress and controlling the treatment by your doctor.
If you had GAD in your earlier years, you need to make some lifestyle modifications since it can affect your gut health. On the one hand, Lexapro withdrawal caused intestinal ulcers because your gastroenterologist instructed me to stop using it, but on the other hand, it was necessary to prevent ulcers.

Hi, I am a healthy 54 year old male. I have been doing some routine annual lab tests near my home, where they do comprehensive labs for check-up. I have been doing it for several years, and everything is basically normal. However, I just received a lab result, CA 19-9, which is elevated (44), normal is below 34. I actually had this lab test CA 19-9 way back in 7/2022, when the level was 12 (normal). Then I had it in annual testing on 9/2023, and it was 25 (but within normal limits). In the past 6-12 months, I have had normal lactate and amylase levels too. Also, all my other blood test from yesterday were normal, including liver function test (and normal bilirubin), normal CBC, normal CEA level, normal amylase, normal sedimentation rate, normal TSH, normal blood chemistry. Of note, I also had a normal DNA stool test (cologuard) 3 years ago. I also had normal FIT stool test 2 months ago, and also last year (twice it was normal). I have no symptoms and no weight loss, and no signs of jaundice. I am not overweight either, and I do not smoke nor drink alcohol. And no one in my family has had cancer before. As I mentioned, this was incidental, but I would like to know your opinion if this is ominous, and next steps. I have schedule a full body MRI scan for next week too. Thank you.

An increase in the level of CA 199 causes an alarm. You will get the most thorough examination if you consult a specialist. However, because CA 199 levels can be associated with certain gastrointestinal conditions, you may want to make an appointment with a gastroenterologist as well.

Male | 26

IBS and hair loss frustrate you. Hair loss with IBS could mean poor nutrient absorption. IBS brings stomach pain, bloating, and bowel habit shifts. Focus on diet rich in vitamins and minerals for hair growth: iron, zinc, and biotin. See a healthcare provider about supplements for nutrients.

Having pain in lower stomach

Female | 33

Pain in your lower stomach can be a trouble. As an example of several reasons for such pain are gas, constipation, and in the case of women, periods. Sometimes, infections in the bladder or bowels can also lead to this pain. For constipation, drinking water and eating fiber-rich food may help you, or even a warm bath for period pain. If the pain persists or worsens, inform a gynecologist so they can assist you in feeling better.

Severe burning pain in upper abdomen happens with hunger, food, and drink.

Female | 17

You likely have gastritis - this is when your stomach lining becomes irritated. Gastritis causes burning pain in your upper belly. This pain occurs when you're hungry, eating, or drinking. Spicy foods, stress, and certain meds could cause it. Avoid foods that trigger the pain. Drinking water may help too. If the pain doesn't go away, visit a gastroenterologist.

Female | 45

Typhoid causes high fever, weakness, stomach pain, and poor appetite. It comes from the bacteria, Salmonella typhi. Even though the fever's gone, you must finish antibiotics. This gets rid of bacteria fully and stops it from returning. So take medicine exactly as the doctor said.

Male | 23

Drinking alcohol frequently can lead to digestive issues and chest pain. These symptoms may be due to gastritis or acid reflux caused by alcohol irritating your stomach and esophagus. To help alleviate your symptoms, try to reduce or stop drinking alcohol and opt for a healthier diet with smaller meals. Drinking plenty of water can also aid digestion. If the issue persists, please seek medical advice.

Enzymes are protein catalysts that facilitate chemical reactions in the body. Impaired digestive function can result from Enzyme Deficiency. Eosinophilia is a disorder characterized with the excessive production of eoisinophils, which are cells that belong to type white blood cell. The treatment for both conditions is based on the etiology. An enzyme deficiency and eosinophilia should be referred to gastroenterologists and immunologist respectively.

I was having a leg pain and my sister gave me a drug that was made of diclofenac-misoprostol. After taking the drug I had intense lower abdominal pain and bled. I’m a virgin and I’m afraid that affected my hymen.

Female | 22

Combinational drug diclofenac-misoprostol is widely used to alleviate pain symptoms. But it may cause some severe side effects including abdominal pain and bleeding, especially in patients with ulcer history. If any of these symptoms occur, you should visit a gastroenterologist immediately. It is highly advised that you do not take any medications unless a doctor has prescribed such.

I am a 30 years old female and I have experiencing stomach cry from time to time whether I have eaten food and no medication I am using

Female | 30

These can occur due to various reasons. Sometimes, they result from eating too quickly or consuming food items that do not react well with your stomach. Stress may also be a contributing factor. To reduce the pain, attempt to eat slowly, steer clear of fatty or spicy foods, and consider relaxing through deep breathing exercises and simple workouts. If it becomes persistent, do not hesitate to consult with a gastroenterologist.

Dehiscence stomach wound almost closed but bleeding a little is that ok, wearing eakin wound pouch

Female | 52

The stomach wound seems unhealed, and some bleeding persists. The reason is that the wound hasn't fully closed. It's good that you are using a wound pouch. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and apply gentle pressure to stop the bleeding. If the bleeding continues, contact your gastroenterologist.

I was suffering from loose motion, vomiting, dizziness yesterday then I took salaine after that fever occurs and BP got too low.....and headache occurred too....why?

Female | 22

You probably experienced dehydration. This means your body lacked enough water and minerals. Loose motions and vomiting can lead to fluid loss. Drinking saline solution may help replenish fluids, but it could potentially cause fever due to an allergic reaction. Dehydration might also cause low blood pressure or headaches. Consuming water and resting can alleviate dehydration symptoms.
