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.

Hi, I have been waking in the early morning (usually between 4 and 5:30) with pain in my shoulders, back, chest or ribs. I am sure it is trapped wind because once I get up and walk around and release the gas by a lot of burping or going to the toilet, the pain goes away. I then try and get back to sleep though can find this difficult. A lot of the time the pain starts again usually 1-2 hours later. Once more, when I sit up it tends to go away, even without burping etc. I do have tenderness around my diaphragm sometimes or sensitivity when pressing to try and move the area. I seem to experience this nightly now regardless of dietary changes. I am a 45 year old male and in generally reasonable health. Thanks for your help. Paul

I have anal fissures, using anasol it doesn't bleed anymore but can u prescribe any oral medication

Female | 35

It is a positive step that the bleeding has stopped with Anasol, but let us find an oral medication for your anal fissures. These are the reasons which cause it when the skin around your bottom tears. It can lead to pain and bleeding when you poo. To help them heal, you can take stool softeners like psyllium husk or docusate sodium. These can cause going to the bathroom to be quicker and less painful. Besides, you should drink a lot of water too.

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.

Female | 19

Female | 20

Discomfort and constriction in the rectum after recovery from an anal fissure can occur. This may result from muscle spasms or scarring. Try soaking in warm water, eating fiber-rich foods, and staying hydrated. Gentle exercises like walking can also help. Discuss with a gastroenterologist for more information if the pain persists.

i have a headache and diarrhea and my stomach and intestines hurt and I threw up 6 times in 2 days what could this be?

Male | 16

You might be suffering from a stomach bug. A tummy bug usually causes headaches, tummy aches, vomiting, and diarrhea. Gut infection often strikes because of germs or parasites. It's simple to stay put, drink plenty of water, and choose foods which are easy on your system like toast or crackers. When you feel nothing is getting better, visit a gastroenterologist.

I have eaten Kirkland multivitamin gummies more than 8 in one day since 3 days I am feeling like symptoms of nausea dizziness stomach upset pain in ribs getting anger easily changing in mood swings . What to do now

Female | 17

Taking too many gummy vitamins can cause issues. Exceeding the suggested dose leads to vitamin overload - nausea, dizziness, stomach upset, rib pain, and mood changes may occur. To recover, stop the gummies and drink lots of water. This flushes excess vitamins out. Eat a balanced diet for natural nutrient intake. If symptoms continue or worsen, consult a doctor.

Female | 19

This occurs when the food in her abdomen is not digested well. The feeling of hardness over the top and swelling of the stomach are common signs. Eating too quickly or certain types of food can bring this about. Advise her to take things slowly while having meals and avoid foods that could trigger indigestion such as spicy or fatty dishes. Drinking plenty of fluids may also help relieve discomfort. However, if these symptoms persist then it would be advisable for you to seek further medical advice from a gastroenterologist.

Hi , I am suffering from heartburn from last 28 days and taking pantoprazole from 16 days but still have heartburn . What should I do?

Female | 33

Persistent heartburn can arise from various factors, such as diet, stress, or even certain medications. While pantoprazole is effective for many, if symptoms continue, it's essential to explore other possible causes. I recommend evaluating your dietary choices, like spicy or acidic foods, and considering lifestyle adjustments, such as avoiding late meals and elevating your head while sleeping. However, it's crucial to consult a gastroenterologist for personalized advice and further evaluation.

Male | 39

Experiencing discomfort in your abdomen along with gas can stem from various factors, including dietary choices, swallowing air, or digestive issues. Foods that are high in fat or fiber may contribute to bloating and discomfort. To alleviate these symptoms, try eating smaller meals, staying hydrated, and incorporating gentle physical activity like walking. Over-the-counter medications may also provide relief. However, if the pain persists or worsens, I strongly encourage you to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation.

Overeating can cause your stomach to feel uncomfortable, which is called indigestion. Some of these symptoms can be caused by eating fatty foods like burgers and fries, as well as drinking alcohol on an empty stomach. To feel better, if you want drink water, eat light foods, and rest.
