These could be food intolerances, stress, or even digestive problems. To find relief, it is necessary to keep a food diary, stay hydrated, manage stress, and maybe consider visiting a gastroenterologist for further investigation and guidance. It is advisable to see a gastroenterologist to investigate the symptoms and get a correct diagnosis and treatment.

I have pain in my upper stomach

Male | 36

Upper stomach pain may be attributed to a wide range of causes. Indigestion, acid reflux, or even a stomach ulcer could be the reason for this. However, in other cases, eating spicy or fat-rich foods is a cause of such diseases. It is not only necessary to keep track of your diet but also to try to stay away from foods that cause pain. Drinking copious amounts of water and consuming smaller, more frequent meals are also two good ways to lessen the inconvenience. If the problem remains or is more painful, it is necessary to visit a gastroenterologist.

On 11th of June I remove my cholesterol test and it was high around 231 and my weight was 83 but today on 15th when I check my weight is 81 so two kg reduce and going gym as well and last 5 days no oil no masala..eating avocado fruit and healthy dieting ...so today I am going with my family for dinner so I can eat something from restaurant?

Male | 27

The level of bad cholesterol in the blood is capable of giving you a high risk of heart problems. Reaching a state of healthy weight and the right food choices one can use as supplementary units can help reduce hypercholesterolemia. Because you've been doing so well, you may eat out, but make sure you choose wisely. Prefer alternatives like roasted chicken or fish with greens instead of those stewed or cheesy dishes.

I (Age 22, male) eat junk food(a sandwich or a roll) every Wednesday. I also eat puri sagu (south indian food - about 7 in quantity) every Sunday. It is not exactly junk food. Is this a bad habit? Should I reduce it? Or is it not a problem?

Male | 22

You're wise to think about eating habits. Weekly sandwiches and rolls aren't ideal. Too much junk food causes weight gain, high cholesterol, and heart issues. Balance meals with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Swap some junk food for healthier choices.

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

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.

Last week, I had loose stools for some days but this week, whenever I eat, I feel like vomiting, so I stop. Because of this, I've not been able to eat well and now, I'm feeling weak and dizzy.

Female | 30

It sounds like you may have a stomach problem. Diarrhea with nausea could be a stomach bug or food poisoning, in which case, you should confine yourself to bed rest. It drains you down by loss of water and vitamins from the body. So sip water plenty of time to keep hydrated. Stick to plain foods like rice, toast, or bananas. If the problem persists, make an appointment to see a gastroenterologist.

Hi Two months back i had laser surgery for 3rd degree hemorrhoid and chronic anal fissure and the progress was good with minimum pain or bleeding . But since one week I noticed that i have increased mild to moderate sharp pain with every bowel movement but the pain is less worse compared to before surgery , no bleeding. No constipation issue .Do I have to worry?

Female | 42

It's understandable to feel concerned about new discomfort following your surgery. Mild to moderate pain during bowel movements can occur as healing progresses, possibly due to increased sensitivity or tissue changes. Since you’re experiencing no bleeding and constipation isn't an issue, it's a positive sign. Focus on maintaining a high-fiber diet, adequate hydration, and gentle physical activity to support healing. However, it's essential to share these symptoms with your gastroenterologist for personalized advice and to rule out any other concerns. Regular follow-ups ensure optimal recovery.

Male | 45

Your dad's gastric issue is concerning. The meds don't seem effective. Stomach problems bring pain, bloating, and discomfort. Medications may fail if diet or stress cause the issue. Spicy foods, large meals, and stress worsen symptoms. Smaller portions, stress management, and avoiding trigger foods may improve his condition.

Gerd derealization eoe I really need help

Male | 17

Acid reflux happens when stomach acid goes up your food pipe and makes your chest burn. Feeling unreal is called derealization where things do not seem real. Throat inflammation is when your food pipe gets swollen and irritated.

To feel better, avoid foods that cause acid reflux like spicy or fried foods. Do things that help you relax like deep breaths or a walk. Talk to a gastroenterologist about medicines that can help.

Female | 21

Hemorrhoids could be the reason for the bleeding from the rectum, pain while passing stool, and feeling lumps. You may also have back pain after going to the bathroom, which could be the cause. Hemorrhoids are the bulging blood vessels around the anus. You can decrease the pain by drinking water and eating fiber-rich foods, and creams that can be bought without a doctor's prescription. If the symptoms continue, it is better to visit a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and treatment.

If you have been diagnosed with jaundice, you may be advised to follow a healthy and balanced diet. Refrain from fatty, oily, and spicy foods. Individualized diet recommendations are best to be obtained from a gastroenterologist. In general, it is recommended to eat warm/hot foods, but drinking carbonated beverages like Coke or 7UP should be avoided if possible. Oil-free and non-spicy soup can be eaten when warm.
