Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

For severe constipation, especially with your long-term diabetes, it's important to address this carefully. Overuse of laxatives like Laxet can worsen the problem. Increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and regular exercise can help. However, for immediate relief and to ensure it's safe given your medical history, please consult a gastroenterologist. They can provide appropriate treatment and manage any underlying issues.

What is normal level of lipase

Male | 17

An individual can find the chubby substance-dissolving macromolecule in this system. It commonly breaks down between 0 to 160 units per liter when it is in a healthy person’s bloodstream. Having a high level of lipase can indicate something wrong with your pancreas. Some signs that someone has too much lipase may include pain in their stomach or feeling sick; they might also have a fever, etc.

Female | 37

The issues could be connected to the medicine you were given. In truth, sometimes Escitalopram, also called Nexito, is capable of causing side effects such as tingling sensation and sleeping disorders to the patients who take it. Inform the doctor and be involved in the treatment process.

's burning me from the inside out. What can I take? I tried baking soda but I use 2tbs instead of half a teaspoon and have been having extreme burning and pain in my body and rectum for a year it's getting worse. I eat a strict diet and I work etc so in general after I eat it or when I wake up it's on fire supplements I take charcoal tablets because I have constipation so I feel like because my bowls are t emptying the toxins are causing inflammation to flare up. I take a leaky gut powder, creatine, anxiety medication the generic version of Lexapro 10 mg a mood stabilizer 150 mg, and propanol as needed. Recently my doctor put me on omeprazole. I take mushrooms turmeric

Female | 29

It seems you may have severe acid reflux if your doctor gave you a prescription for omeprazole. Your symptoms can get worse if you take too much baking soda. The burning feeling means there could be too much acid in your stomach and esophagus. Always take all drugs and supplements according to the instructions on the label. Also, remember to write down what you eat and how it makes you feel then raise any questions with your doctor.

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.

Mere pet mein bahut dard rahta hai main do doctor ko dikhaye altrasound bhi hua tha to apendix nikla dusre doctor ko dikhaye altrasound bhi hua tha to apendix nhi nikla Mai kya karu??!

Female | 23

 A common cause of stomach pain may be appendicitis which is the swelling of the appendix that leads to discomfort. It could be shown in an ultrasound, but maybe not. Visit a doctor to be examined in detail and thereby the one who will advise you on the right treatment which is mainly prescription drugs or surgery to remove the appendicitis. Look for symptoms like worsening pain, fever, or vomiting, which could indicate a more serious issue.

Iam 19 years old,male,I have gas leaking from my anus and it ruins my relationships, I have H-Pylori and I have duodenum inflammation. So I need help to get rid of this leakage.

Male | 19

You may have a problem known as anal incontinence. This term refers to the inability to control your bowel movements or flatulence. This issue may be connected with your H-Pylori and inflammation in the duodenum. When the muscles in the anus become slack due to digestive disorders, an individual may experience involuntary passage of wind. To control this complication, it is recommended that you eat a balanced diet containing fiber as well as avoid foods that can trigger it. You can also do pelvic floor exercises which will help in strengthening these muscles. Don’t forget to keep seeing your doctor concerning H-Pylori and duodenum inflammation because treating them can also relieve the signs.
