Should I Drink Water for Chia Seed Pancake Bloating?

Patient's Query

Hello. I was just wondering if this would naturally pass. I accidentally poured too much dry chia seeds( a fourth to almsot half of the bowl) and in mixed instant oats and egg to form a pancake, now im bloated for the entire day and night with sharp pain at the upper abdomen. My stomach is making sounds too Constipated but did have a bowel movement. The pain is still there even after the bowel movement. Do i just keep drinking water? Will this eventually subside naturally?

Gastroenterology

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

It's understandable to feel uncomfortable after consuming a larger amount of chia seeds, which can absorb water and expand in your digestive system. Bloating and abdominal pain can occur as your body works to process this. Staying hydrated is key, so continue drinking water, as this can help ease digestion. Additionally, try gentle movements or light walking to aid your stomach. If discomfort persists or worsens, or if you experience significant changes in bowel habits, it’s best to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

I have a severe chest ache, feels like stabbing in the upper right side of the chest. I have also had a persistent worm infestation lately accompanied by abdominal cramps and headache.

Female | 20

Experiencing sharp discomfort in the chest can be concerning, especially alongside digestive issues and headaches. This could stem from various factors, including muscle strain, digestive problems, or even stress. Persistent worm infestations may also cause abdominal discomfort and headaches. It's essential to address these symptoms holistically. I recommend consulting gastroenterologist to properly diagnose your situation and receive appropriate treatment for both the gastrointestinal issues and any chest discomfort.

I am 24 years female with anal fissure on and off for 1 month. I am on laxative, but when I stop the laxative my stools becomes hard and again tearing the anal region causing pain while pooping. After a treatment the pain becomes better. Is there any fiber supplement which will softens the stool and helps my fissure to heal

Female | 24

What is probably happening is you have an anal fissure, which is a small split in the skin around the anus. The pain that occurs during bowel movements is the main symptom. Hard stools can make it worse. Fiber supplements like psyllium husk or methylcellulose may help you ease your bowel movements which are the reason for the hard stools. Also drinking plenty of water is very good for your digestion.

It sounds like you’re experiencing constipation, which can occur for various reasons, such as inadequate fiber intake, dehydration, or stress. Symptoms may include abdominal discomfort and difficulty passing stool. While medications can help, sometimes lifestyle changes are crucial. Increasing your water intake, eating more fruits and vegetables, and regular physical activity can support digestion. If you haven't found relief soon, I recommend consulting a gastroenterologist.

Male | 35

A noticeable increase in abdominal size can often relate to various factors, such as gas buildup, bloating, or dietary changes. You might also experience discomfort, indigestion, or changes in appetite. Gentle modifications like reducing carbonated drinks, eating slowly, and avoiding high-fiber foods for a short period may help. Staying hydrated is important as well. If these suggestions do not bring improvement, or if you notice any severe symptoms like pain or weight loss, I recommend discussing your concerns with a gastroenterologist for assessment and tailored advice.

Hello. I am 23 years old and I've had heartburn for more than 3 years. Last year in April I took Dexilant 60mg for about 2 weeks and my symptoms were gone for about 2 months. However, the symptoms started coming back after that and I've been having heartburn almost every day since then. I've occasionally been using Pepcid Complete for my symptoms but I know that this isn't a permanent solution. So can you please tell me when I should be worried about heartburn and what kind of treatments are there for heartburn?

Male | 23

Seek medical attention as it could indicate an underlying issue like GERD. It can be treated with lifestyle changes, over the counter medications (antacids and H2 blockers), and prescription medications. Untreated heartburn can lead to complications, so don't delay seeking help. Consult with a gastroenterologist.

You might have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. IBS causes bloating, gas, tummy pain, constipation, diarrhea, and bowel habit changes. The reason for IBS isn't fully known. Stress, some foods, or hormonal shifts may trigger it. Managing IBS needs eating healthy foods, reducing stress, and possibly taking doctor-prescribed medicines to ease symptoms. IBS can be tough, but making lifestyle adjustments may help control it. Don't hesitate to consult a gastroenterologist for guidance on managing your symptoms effectively.
