It sounds like you’re experiencing pain and stiffness on the left side of your abdomen. These symptoms can be caused by many things, such as gas, constipation, or even muscle strain.

I am 33 year old male 6 feet tall guy experiencing watery loose motion from past 3 days no stomach pain no fever only loose motion

Male | 33

This can happen from a stomach bug or something you ate that your body didn't agree with. It's good that your stomach doesn't hurt and you don't have a fever. Be sure to drink lots of liquid so you don't get dried out. Eat plain things like rice, bananas, and toast. If it keeps up for more than a few days or gets worse, then go see a gastroenterologist.

Contacting you for my brother. He has been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 18 years ago. There seems to be no remission phases though, even though he has tried several things - medication, alternative medicine etc. Could it be something else at hand? Maybe wrong diagnosing to begin with or a combination of things?

Male | 41

I'm sorry to hear that your brother is struggling with ulcerative colitis. Other conditions like infections or complications from long-term inflammation might also be causing his symptoms. He needs to see a gastroenterologist for a thorough check-up to rule out other possibilities. The doctor may suggest additional tests or treatments to help manage his condition better.

The disease is bleeding after stool

Male | 23

Noticing blood after using the bathroom might signal hemorrhoids. These are swollen veins in the rectum or anus, causing bleeding, itchiness, and discomfort. Straining during bowel movements, chronic constipation, or prolonged sitting can trigger hemorrhoids. To ease symptoms, eat more fiber, drink plenty of water, and avoid straining during bowel movements. However, if bleeding persists or worsens, consult a gastroenterologist for further treatment options.

I am a 20year old who has been vomiting everything I eat or drink for the past one week and I have been having headaches frequently, what could be the issue

Female | 20

Might it be the case that you are having a migraine? Headache-inducing and vomiting-causing migraines. When you throw up, the body is attempting to eliminate the pain. Drink a lot of water and rest in a dark and quiet place. Stress or certain foods should be avoided as they are triggering. If symptoms persist, it is important to 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.

Was having mild stinging in my throat in january and was prescribed rabeloc for one month followed by esomeprazole for another month. After the completion of my dose my throat was fine and I stopped the medication. However I noticed in one week after stopping the medcines I had severe stabbing pains in my chest stomach breast. Could it be because I stopped the ppi or something else.

Female | 25

You were taking medication to alleviate throat discomfort, and now you're experiencing chest and abdominal pain. These pains might be a consequence of abruptly discontinuing the medicine. The medication likely reduced stomach acid levels. Upon cessation, your body may have produced more acid, resulting in the pain you're experiencing. It would be advisable to consult with a gastroenterologist to determine the appropriate course of action.

Female | 21

It appears that a UTI might be the problem you’re having. UTIs sometimes lead to cramps in the stomach along with pain in the back or a sudden sharp pain in the lower abdomen when you urinate. These occur because bacteria have entered your urethra. You should drink plenty of water and take antibiotics. To avoid getting more UTIs, make sure to urinate after sex and keep good hygiene.

Female | 17

You may be suffering from a fissure in the anus. It is a small cut in the skin lining of the anus, which can cause pain and bleeding during bowel movement. Probably, the constipation is the reason why the fissure is more irritated. To relieve the situation, a high-fiber diet, drinking more water, and avoiding exertion when defecating may be helpful. You may also use over-the-counter creams for the pain and burning feeling. If the symptoms stay or worsen, urgent attention from a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis and medical precautions is crucial.

When preforming large deep enemas, I was curious if such an enema could flow into the appendix as well as the Ileum? If so would such a thing be harmful?

When performing large deep enemas, the fluid can potentially reach the ileum but is unlikely to flow into the appendix due to its narrow opening. However, doing this procedure at home can be risky.
