Can Food Intolerance Testing Help Identify My Digestive Issues?

Patient's Query

I am a 59 years old, weigh 120 and 5'6". I am having an issue when I eat something one night everything is fine but I eat leftovers the next night and I get bloating, gas, diarrhea and stomach ache. This does not happen all the time but often enough I have try keeping a food diary but that not working very well because I eat something and nothing happens but next time I eat the same thing I get bloating, gas, diarrhea and stomach ache. I tried the FODMAP diet but some of the food they recommend have caused the issues. So I asked Dr. if they could arrange a test for food intolerant test. I was there is not one.

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

According to your symptoms of bloating, gas, diarrhea and stomach pain after consuming the leftovers you most likely have cases of food poison or intolerance. Generally, it is better to seek advice from a specialist and undergo testing in order to determine the root of your symptoms. In the meantime, follow simple diet

After on time taking meal still feel weakness and feel taste bitter and after having extra food still feel weakness no engry to do anything ...

Female | 20

You might have a condition called indigestion. Symptoms include weakness, a bitter taste in your mouth, and lack of energy even after eating a meal. Overeating is another factor that can make it worse. To get better, you should eat smaller meals, and non-spicy food, and not lie down right after eating. Avoiding late-night snacks can also be a nice decision since it will help you relieve symptoms.

I was feeling unwell, was given some anti malarial, not much change, later typhoid was suspected, but I didn't do a test. I've been on ciproflaxacin, I feel like going for a blood check up but it might not work since I've been on medicine, am asking for advice

Male | 20

It seems that dealing with a complex situation. Being sick and taking drugs can lead to inaccurate results of a blood test. Knowing exactly what is wrong is necessary for the right treatment. Symptoms of fever, stomach ache and general body weakness are common in both malaria and typhoid. Failing to go through the test may complicate matters further. My advice is to wait for some days after completion of the ciprofloxacin course before going for a blood test. This will enable you to get clearer results about your health status.

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.

I m 40 years old. I m suffering from fissure in anus. It gives me pain

Male | 40

Fissures are little rips in the skin around the anus. Passing hard stools, diarrhea, or inflammatory bowel disease can cause them. To heal the fissure, drink plenty of water, eat foods high in fiber, and use stool softeners. You might need creams or ointments too so that it does not hurt as much and heals faster.

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. . . . .

My son is 11 he has recurrent gastric pain with fever 102.5 degrees every 4 hrs and vomiting stays a day or two and gets well with calpol 6 plus, risek IV and onseron I have been to many drs we have done tests of crp, ana profile, occult stool, stool dr, cbc ,esr, h pylori I know you don't treat children, i have been to many many drs, I was wondering if there is some area we might be missing for tests, something that can help in diagnosis, all his test results are clear and we are very confused and worried

Male | 11

From what you have described, your son may be having a gastrointestinal infection based on the recurrent gastric pain of fever and vomiting. Your son should have a comprehensive evaluation and treatment by an experienced gastroenterologist. The specialist may recommend further testing like endoscopy or imaging studies to determine the root of the problem. It is advisable to seek medical attention early in order to avoid any complications.

My father is having problem stomach gas and consitpation from many years he drink and eat everything tlwhich can keep his stomach good but it is of no use and he has also taken medicine but still the problem goes on can you tell what can help him

Male | 42

Tummy wind and bowel blockage can be uncomfortable. This condition can also make people poop less regularly. It might happen because of not eating enough fiber, not drinking enough water, or lack of physical activity. Tell your father to eat high-fiber foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Additionally, make sure he drinks plenty of water and stays active. Sometimes, medications can cause constipation, so consult the doctor to see if his medications might be the cause.

Male | 8

I advise you to take your child to a doctor. Based on proper evaluation and diagnosis, the doctor will be able to determine whether the problem faced is due some underlying medical issue such as food intolerance, infection  or some other reason. Based on that, treatment may be suggested which may include certain dietary and lifestyle changes, medications etc.
