Expert Strategies to Manage IBS and Gut Pain

Patient's Query

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.

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

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.

Depression anxiety aur poor sleep b12 deficiency maitre headache also more stomach problems

Male | 17

It seems like you might be experiencing symptoms related to depression, anxiety, poor sleep, B12 deficiency, headaches, and stomach problems. I would recommend consulting with a psychiatrist to address your mental health concerns and a gastroenterologist to investigate and manage your stomach issues. They can provide proper assessment and treatment tailored to your needs.

I have been pooping for about 2 weeks, yellow and sludge like stool. As soon as I eat, I feel the urge to poop. This started after I ate canned food from the store which was spicy. I previously know my stomach does not allow for spicy food without negative reaction, but this feels extreme. I had iron deficiency before, I took tablets and it normalised. My scalp hair growth has slowed, losing weight. I have not added a lot of vegetables to my diet.

Male | 27

You possibly have gastritis, an inflamed stomach lining. Eating spicy or canned foods worsens it. Yellow, sludge-like stools signal this condition. Frequent urges to poop after meals are common symptoms. Iron deficiency may be linked to it as well. Try cutting spicy foods, eating more veggies, and drinking lots of water. Consult a gastroenterologist if issues persist.

I feel vomit and stomachache when eating Bp low an shiver at night Weakness Loss appetite

Male | 21

You might have a stomach bug. Feeling nauseous, abdominal pain, low blood pressure, night chills, fatigue, or lack of appetite indicate this. A virus likely causes it. Rest, stay hydrated, eat plain foods like toast or crackers to settle your stomach. If no improvement in a few days, seek medical help.

I have constant gas every night in my belly for the last 3 years and recently my gas has been stuck beside my belly button.

Female | 36

Your belly feels gassy, right around the navel. That bloated sensation stings. Gas frequently results from meals being improperly digested. Rapid eating, chewing gum, carbonated beverages - these worsen it. Slow down while eating, avoid gas-causing foods, and hydrate well. If issues persist, consulting a gastroenterologist provides expert guidance.

Hello, here rupa and my problem is im suffering from GERD problem how to rid from this problem ,and how many time does it take to control my acidity. What is the medicine?

Female | 30

You have GERD, where stomach acid goes back into the food pipe and causes discomfort. Symptoms of GERD include heartburn, chest pain, and a sore throat. To reduce the intensity you may use smaller quantities of food. Antacids or proton pump inhibitors also affect stomach acids, so when needed, these medications are advised to be taken. Determining the right course of action may be lengthy and difficult for you. But with your commitment and those new lifestyle changes, you may feel many improvements.

Good Afternoon, I was referred by a friend to contact you. I'm set to go to the doctor tomorrow but first want to consult a doctor online before going to my doctor. I have a quite weird symptom - Since the beginning of the year I have been having some stomach problems. I can't eat rich food, like too spicy food, Tomato Sauce and Chillies ect. The other thing Is I have been having now and then stomach cramps also like a heartburn feeling but in my stomach and then the most embarrassing symptom is my stomach growling even when I did eat it still growling. Can you please tell me what might be wrong and what medication I should take. Thank You.

Male | 19

One possibility is that you are suffering from gastrointestinal problems if you feel bothered by things like stomach pain, a heartburn-like sensation, and continuous stomach growling. This can be acute or chronic inflammation of your stomach lining, which usually the symptoms point to. Besides, it is suggested to consume food in small amounts and at short intervals, stay away from those that are spicy or acidic, and for temporary relief use over-the-counter drugs similar to Tums. Talk with a gastroenterologist for their expert advice and treatments.

Sharp left sided abdominal pain. Directly under lower ribs. Intermittently x6mos or more. The pain is more noticeable when standing and the pain is better with pressure but immediately returns when pressure is removed

Female | 30

Experiencing pain on your left side below the ribs for over six months. Pain increases when standing, yet eases temporarily with applied pressure. Intermittent discomfort could result from spleen or colon issues. Visit a gastroenterologist for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Hi there, I'm currently only 19 years old and have previously had occasional heartburn. However, the past 2 weeks I have noticed i have been getting it more frequently. For example last night my heartburn kept waking me up throughout the night. but right now I'm experiencing heartburn and tingling/pins and needles in my hands

Female | 19

You might have acid reflux causing heartburn and tingling hands. Acid reflux happens when stomach acid goes up your food pipe. That causes a burning feeling, called heartburn. Tingling hands could mean irritated nerves. To help, eat smaller meals, avoid spicy foods, don't lie down after eating. See a gastroenterologist if it doesn't get better.

The chronic problem of ulcers in the stomach might be the cause of painful problems as well as discomfort. Pain-killing can be achieved by avoiding spicy and acidic foods, quitting smoking, minimizing stress, and taking medications. To ensure a precise diagnosis and also be able to select the right treatment, it is essential to seek a gastroenterologist.

It sounds like you're dealing with a lot of pain and discomfort . . Have you talked to your doctor about alternative treatments? It's good that your blood work looks NORMAL, but it's still important to keep monitoring your symptoms. Have you tried any lifestyle changes, such as changing your DIET or reducing STRESS? It's important to keep seeking medical advice and exploring all options available to you. . . . .

I have been having running stomach for the past 3 days and it still occuring, and I have been taking some drugs but it didn't work out , what should I do ?

Female | 24

So, if you have this situation and drugs are not helping, you might turn to think that is this caused by your diet. Some condiments, fatty, and dairy products trigger stomach pain if it is oversensitive. Stick to the plainest foods, perhaps like bread, rice, or bananas. Also, make sure to drink enough water so that your body cannot dry out and the stomach can gain pretty much. In case things are not getting improved soon, then it's time to fix an appointment with a Gastroenterologist.

Im wondering if Ulcerative Colitis can affect a man's sexual ability causing ED. Either that or is it possible for UC to cause low testosterone? Is this possible without me taking any medications?

Male | 28

A situation that inflames the colon, ulcerative colitis, can result in symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue. Even though inflammation and stress brought on by UC do not cause directly erectile dysfunction (ED) or low testosterone; they can have an impact on sexual health. The best way forward is to treat UC effectively while also finding ways of reducing stress.

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.

Black stool with lose motions khana khate ho stool hota hai aese me kya kre

Female | 19

Black stool accompanied by loose motions is concerning. It may indicate the presence of blood within your digestive system. Potential causes include bleeding in the stomach or intestinal areas. To maintain proper hydration, ensure you consume ample amounts of water. For the time being, refrain from consuming spicy or oily foods. Seek attention from a gastroenterologist to identify the precise underlying reason and receive appropriate treatment.

Male | 24

You have signs of being tired, having loose poop, shaking, and sweating at night. Many things can cause these signs like germs or bad food. It is key to drink lots of water and drinks with salt and minerals. Eat soft foods and rest up. If you feel worse or these signs do not go away, go see a gastroenterologist.

The infection fixed but my intestines are now destroyed. The rectum encounters occasional pain (stabbing like) after using the toilet and the stool is covered in mucus. The stool color is dark red/ brown. No diarrhea. Heart pain that radiates to the left arm, probably under reactive inflammatory context. No tachycardia. Do I have to start 250mg vancomycin hydrochloride PO each 6 hours for 7 days? All the doctors in my city are saying that this antibiotic is only for diarrhea people. What should I do? I'm also nauseous. Took fluconazole 3 weeks then itraconazole 3 weeks in winter, no help, just probably made the situation worse. Today WBC 11.9. Anti-streptolysin, sedimentation rate & reactive C protein are normal. Abdominal tomography displayed inflamed lymph nodes around aorta (reactive inflammatory context). What would you do if you were me? Not currently taking any medication/ having any known condition.

Male | 29

Your symptoms seem worrying. The dark red or brown stool mixed with mucus and rectal pain points to issues in your intestines. Additionally, heart pain and a high white blood cell count raise concerns. Vancomycin usually treats bacterial infections, not these symptoms. It's crucial to consult a gastroenterologist. They can evaluate you properly based on your test results and medical history.

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.

Male | 54

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 | 17

You seem to experience frequent bowel movements and gas. Going 3-4 times daily with lots of flatulence is uncomfortable. Food intolerances, infections, and digestion problems could cause this. Eat smaller portions. Note foods causing issues. Stay hydrated. See a gastroenterologist if the issue persists.

Hii I am an 18 year old male. I had an endoscopy 2 months ago which showed H.Pylori gastritis. My doc has prescribed me esomeprazole, antacids and rebamipide for 15 days. Is there any particular way I have to take these meds? Any possible interaction between the antacid and rebamipide?? My doc has not instructed me properly.

Male | 18

Esoprazole need to take before food.

Antacid need to take after food.

Rebamipide need to take after food.

As you have H pylori gastritis, therefore you need to take HP kit for at least 15 days.
