Could my symptoms indicate colitis or gut inflammation?

Patient's Query

Hello Doctor, I’ve been having some symptoms that are worrying me: Blood in stool (bright red, daily) Yellow mucus in stool Pain in lower belly (mostly middle and left side) Some gas/bubbles feeling Had mild fever which is now gone Had some urge to go earlier but now it’s settled This morning I also passed a small black piece in stool No diarrhea or vomiting No major weight loss I’m concerned this may be colitis or some gut inflammation. Kindly advise if I should come in for a check-up and any tests. Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

The presence of blood in your stool, yellow mucus, pain in your lower belly, and passing a small black piece can seem concerning. These signs could indicate various issues like hemorrhoids, infections, or inflammation in your gut. Given your concerns, it would be a good idea to go for a check-up with gastroenterologist. He might run some tests to get a clearer picture of what's going on.

Hi, I am a healthy 54 year old male. I have been doing some routine annual lab tests near my home, where they do comprehensive labs for check-up. I have been doing it for several years, and everything is basically normal. However, I just received a lab result, CA 19-9, which is elevated (44), normal is below 34. I actually had this lab test CA 19-9 way back in 7/2022, when the level was 12 (normal). Then I had it in annual testing on 9/2023, and it was 25 (but within normal limits). In the past 6-12 months, I have had normal lactate and amylase levels too. Also, all my other blood test from yesterday were normal, including liver function test (and normal bilirubin), normal CBC, normal CEA level, normal amylase, normal sedimentation rate, normal TSH, normal blood chemistry. Of note, I also had a normal DNA stool test (cologuard) 3 years ago. I also had normal FIT stool test 2 months ago, and also last year (twice it was normal). I have no symptoms and no weight loss, and no signs of jaundice. I am not overweight either, and I do not smoke nor drink alcohol. And no one in my family has had cancer before. As I mentioned, this was incidental, but I would like to know your opinion if this is ominous, and next steps. I have schedule a full body MRI scan for next week too. Thank you.

Stomach heat and loose motions can happen due to gastroenteritis, food intolerance or allergies, or even stress and axiety. Stay hydrated by drinking fluids and try consuming bland, easily digestible foods.

I was diagnosed with typhoid after which the doctor gave me medicine for 10 days. After 10 days they gave me medicine again which also included Tramin plus. I would like to know why given Dromadin Plus because it is a strong pain reliever. Now there is no pain in my body.

Male | 37

Typhoid is due to a bacillus and can result in fever, body aches, and stomach problems. The medicine that your doctor prescribed acted to eliminate the bacteria that were responsible for the infection. The Tramin Plus contained in your medication is responsible for the relief of any pain or discomfort you may have been experiencing. To ensure that the infection has been completely treated, it is crucial to take your medication exactly as directed.

During intermittent fasting i have diarrhoea what should I eat when i break the fast

Male | 21

Ah, see­ms diarrhea has interrupted your inte­rmittent fasting schedule. Diarrhe­a is frequent bowel move­ments, often caused by fasting's e­ffects on digestion. When e­nding your fast, opt for gentle foods like bananas, plain rice­, or toast. These soothe the­ stomach. Hydrate extensive­ly with lots of water. If diarrhea persists, se­ek medical advice.

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.

Dear Dr. , Good morning I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to seek your medical advice regarding several health issues I have been experiencing recently. These symptoms are affecting my daily life, and I am concerned about their underlying causes. Below is a detailed description of the symptoms I am facing: 1. **Immunity and Oxygen Problems:** I have been feeling unusually fatigued and prone to frequent infections, which makes me concerned about my immune system. Additionally, I sometimes experience shortness of breath and dizziness, indicating possible issues with oxygen delivery. 2. **Digestive Issues:** I am suffering from constipation and bloating. My stools are irregular, and there is a persistent bad smell in my flatulence. These symptoms are accompanied by a feeling of discomfort in my stomach. 3. **Body Cramps:** I frequently experience cramps in various parts of my body. These cramps can be quite painful and are affecting my mobility and comfort. 4. **General Malaise:** There is an ongoing sense of unease and a strange feeling within my body that I cannot specifically describe. It is a general sense of not feeling well, which is concerning and distressing. 5. **Throat Mucus:** I often feel as though there is mucus stuck in my throat. This sensation is especially pronounced in the mornings, and drinking water or brushing my teeth can sometimes make me feel like I am going to vomit. Given the variety and persistence of these symptoms, I am worried about my overall health and well-being. I would greatly appreciate it if we could schedule an appointment to discuss these issues in detail and undergo any necessary examinations or tests to determine the root causes and appropriate treatments. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your guidance and assistance in improving my health. Sincerely, irfan Advocate Civil court Varanasi Mobile no -9454950104,7275631533

If you have been experiencing fatigue, frequent illnesses, or difficulty breathing this could mean that your immune system is weak or you have low oxygen levels. Also constipation, bloating, and smelly gas could be signs of digestive problems. Muscle cramps are not only painful but can also be very uncomfortable at times. The ‘weird’ sensation that you mentioned and any throat mucus might also be connected to overall wellness issues in your body. Therefore, you must see a medic so that they may examine you thoroughly and offer appropriate remedies for these signs.

I am a 51 year old woman, I was diagnosed with h.pylori bateria,. Abdominal scan diagnosed severe increase in abdominal gas in the middle of the abdomen and worsen the upper left quadrant. I'm having severe chest pain, pain under the left side of the breast that radiates to the shoulder blade, back and waist pain, upper belly pain with burning sensation and finding it discomfort to sit upright, severe pelvic pain that feels tender from the pubic region to the upper belly. I don't have a good bowel movement, and I don't empty my bowel properly after each bowel movement.

Female | 51

The bacteria might be causing inflammation leading to chest pain, back pain, or discomfort in the upper left part of your tummy. Additionally, pelvic and bellyache could also result from the accumulation of gas which causes bloating as well. To reduce these signs follow the doctor’s prescription on how to deal with H.pylori. In addition, take small meals more frequently; avoid foods that make you gassy, and keep drinking water.

I’m wondering what is wrong with me or if I should go to the ER or make an appointment I’ve been having real bad pain on my left lower abdomen hurts when applying pressure to abdomen with stretching sometimes walking and flexing

Female | 26

A condition you see­m likely to have is appendicitis. Your appe­ndix is inflamed. The symptoms: stabbing agony in your lower tummy, mostly on the­ left, getting worse whe­n you apply hand pressure, bend, walk around, or fle­x your body. If you experience­ these signs, head straight to the­ emergency room, imme­diately. Appendicitis gene­rally needs surgical removal of the­ appendix to stop dangerous complications from arising.
