What should I do about my travel diarrhoea?
Hi I am a 21 year old female who has been travelling in Europe for 1 months. I have been having diarrhoea for the past week on and off and have been taking anti diarrhoea tablets. These block me up and cause stomach cramps. What would you recommend? Thank you

Answered on 10th Aug '24
From what you've been saying, the diagnosis could be you having traveler's diarrhea, a typical thing when exposed to new places. Anti-diarrhea pills can make things worse by stopping your body from getting rid of the bad stuff that causes stomach cramps. It is best to replenish your fluids by drinking clean water and consuming sports drinks or oral rehydration solutions that contain electrolytes. Stick to the basics, bland foods like rice, bananas, and toast for a while until things settle down. If your symptoms persist, consult your physician for medical advice.

Hii I am an 18 year old male. I had an endoscopy 2 months ago which showed H.Pylori gastritis. My doc has prescribed me esomeprazole, antacids and rebamipide for 15 days. Is there any particular way I have to take these meds? Any possible interaction between the antacid and rebamipide?? My doc has not instructed me properly.
Male | 18
Esoprazole need to take before food.
Antacid need to take after food.
Rebamipide need to take after food.
As you have H pylori gastritis, therefore you need to take HP kit for at least 15 days.

Is pain in left rib cage is serious UTI symptom?
Male | 16
This pain is likely not from a urinary tract infection. UTIs usually cause problems like peeing often, burning when you pee, and cloudy pee. Left rib pain can come from other causes like strained muscles or swelling. If the pain sticks around or gets worse, it's a good idea to see a doctor. They can find out what's causing the pain and give you the right treatment.

Hi so I took omeprazole for 1 month because of GERD, now I’m off it and back on Vyvanse but my vyvanse doesn’t work at all after the omeprazole, it doesn’t activate, how come?
Male | 27
Omeprazole decreases the bioavailability of Vyvanse by blocking its uptake.
For the GERD, it is recommended to see a gastroenterologist for its management and psychiatrist in case of prescribing Vyvanse.

I have been suffering from digestive issues and stomach disorders for about a month. I feel like it takes long for my stomach to digest food. I feel hungry but I can't eat because of this issue. If I do, I'll get acid reflux and other symptoms.
Male | 20
Gastritis makes the stomach lining inflamed. Slow digestion, lack of appetite, and acid reflux occur. Stress, spicy foods, and medications cause it. Eat small meals frequently. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Stay hydrated. Manage stress through breathing or meditation. See a gastroenterologist if symptoms don't improve.

What could be causing my abdominal pain and burning sensation, with a mild enlargement in size of my liver and spleen? I'm concerned about the possibility of a serious condition like colon cancer. Can you provide any guidance or information?
Male | 19
Mild enlargement of the liver and spleen, without any focal lesions, can have various causes and may not necessarily indicate a serious disease like colon cancer. Conditions like fatty liver disease, viral infections, inflammation, etc. can be associated with the swelling of these organs.
A proper diagnosis can only be made by a healthcare professional like a gastroenterologist after considering your complete medical history.

I have stomach pain and visit doctor and take medicine but I can't feel better
Female | 23
Different things such as indigestion, gastritis, or infections can cause stomach pains. When you go back to your doctor this time you let the doctor know that what they gave you last time did not work. The doctor might need to run more tests so they can find out what’s happening and give you something that’ll make you feel better.

I had a stomach virus last week, and when I wasn’t showing symptoms, I shared a beverage with somebody who later that day presented symptoms and became ill. Will I get reinfect
Female | 18
Reinfection worries arise when drinks get shared with a sick person. Gastroenteritis, the stomach virus, stems from germs like viruses, and bacteria. Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps are symptoms. Handwashing frequently, avoiding shared drinks, and staying hydrated with fluids prevent illness.

Male | 27
You have seen blood in your stool, which could be a serious issue. Dark black stool and bright red blood are clear signs of bleeding, which can occur in the stomach or upper intestines. The symptoms can be the result of ulcers, gastritis, or blood vessels that are bleeding. This is a positive thing that you are not in pain but still need to be examined by a gastroenterologist.

Female | 31
Problems with the gallbladder can be difficult. If they’re left untreated, there is a slight chance that it may burst which could be very serious. When this happens you’ll have piercing pain all over your stomach area, fever and feel weak all the time. Dealing with the infection before anything else is vital.

Meri Nani hai jo bahut din khana na khane ke wajah se bahut serious ho gya hai . Abhi khana kha Raha hai to vahe vomiting kar deta hai
Female | 60
This may be as a result of several factors. A popular cause may be a stomach bug or food poisoning. These can upset the stomach and therefore make the person vomit. Give her water to drink little by little and if she feels better, she can try bland foods like toast and crackers which will help her stomach. If she still vomits, she might need to go to see a gastroenterologist quickly to check if everything is fine with her.
