Can Chilli Powder Cause Stomach Ulcers?
I’m from India. I got a question about chilli powder or I guess paprika in the west. Can chilli cause any problem with my stomach or intestine? Can it cause ulcers? Because the whole of internet says it’s good.

Chilies are a healthy ingredient that most people can eat without having problems. Even though, it is also possible for a stomach to become upset, or intestines to be inflamed with chili. Stomach irritations like these can lead to symptoms such as stomach pain, acid indigestion, or indigestion. In rare cases, some people can develop ulcers after eating extremely spicy foods. These sores can appear in the stomach or intestines' lining and cause discomfort and pain. In case of nausea, an antispasmodic should be taken right before bed.

I am suffering from fast heartbeat and with abdomen doscomfort and am unabke to gain weight
Female | 23
It seems like you may have hyperthyroidism. This occurs when your thyroid is too active which results in rapid heartbeats and discomfort in the abdomen. Additionally, it can be difficult for you to gain weight. Treatment may involve taking medications or undergoing other therapies that can help regulate the levels of your thyroid hormones. Therefore, you need to see a doctor so that they can diagnose and treat it properly.

I got into a fight and was suffocating under someone's weight when I coughed up blood. After which, I ingested some harpic and it hurts my chest and near my stomach to swallow anything at all. This was 2 days ago. I weigh 60 kgs. I also get blurry vision sometimes although I'm unsure if its the trauma to my head or harpic.
Female | 17
You might have serious internal injuries. If you cough up any blood, have chest pain or trouble swallowing, or cannot see clearly, you should be concerned. Ingesting Harpic might have hurt your esophagus and stomach even more. Internal bleeding or other complications could be why these symptoms are occurring; therefore it is vital that you seek immediate medical attention.

Ate some bread which I believe had mold because shortly thereafter starting feeling as if I was seeing through a lens rather than first person and had a sudden hypertensive crisis with bp of 203/155. Other symptoms included feeling as if something was moving through my arteries from my leg then onto my carotid
Male | 42
Mold on bread could have caused a bad reaction. Some toxins mold produces may make you feel dizzy, impacting blood pressure. These toxins constrict arteries, risking hypertensive crisis. See a gateroenterologist quickly if symptoms don't improve.

Severe stomach ache because of being punched
Female | 23
If you happen to encounter severe abdominal pain that resulted from a punch to the stomach, consult a doctor immediately. It may suggest the existence of some internal injuries such as torn organs or bleeding from inside the body. Make a follow-up appointment with a gastroenterologist for a more thorough examination and treatment.

hello doctor, i’ve recently came down with a fever and a headache in the past few days that has been resolved now. but i have a new set of symptoms, whenever i am stood up i cannot stop belching/burping. this does not happen when i am lying down, however, my stomach and abdomen rumble a lot when i’m lying down. my only other symptom is constipation
Male | 15
The symptoms you are showing, such as wheezing standing up, a rumble in the stomach while lying down, and constipation, could be a sign of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). This can be produced by stress, certain meals, or even hormonal shifts. Maintaining a food diary and doing deep breathing exercises may help you relax. It's also important to drink water and consume a diet rich in fiber which will help constipation. If your symptoms persist, do not hesitate to contact a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and guidance. Take care!

35 year old female. Was prescribed dicyclomine in january at a 22 day supply. Sent in the last refill request of it, and noticed yesterday my pcp changed it to 45 day supply. Why
Female | 35
Dicyclomine is often used to relieve stomach cramps and intestinal issues like irritable bowel syndrome. With a longer supply, you won’t need to worry about running out of your medication too soon. This should help you manage your symptoms better and ensure a steady supply. If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to contact your gastroenterologist.

Curretly, I am having indigestion, malnutrition, stomach upset and gastric since long time, sometimes nauseous, will spray recover my b12, are these issues related to deficiencies, if yes, after how long will stomach issues improve?
Female | 35
Your low B12 and Vitamin D levels, along with gastritis and esophagitis, can be the root cause of your digestion problems and malnutrition. The oral spray can assist you with increasing the level of your B12. Continue to take your medications as prescribed and follow up with a gastroenterologist for further guidance.

Today i ate small piece of finger nail with food does it cause any problem or it will dissolve.. I'm confused what to do please help
Female | 24
Don’t freak out if you accidentally swallow a little piece of fingernail. It’s not a big deal for your body – it can handle stuff like that. If it’s tiny, it’ll probably go through without causing any problems. Drink lots of water though – this will help it move along easily. And if you start hurting anywhere or feeling sick or notice anything strange then definitely talk to a gastroenterologist.

Recently I done my gall bladder operation after that I'm suffering from weird water thaili & that can't stop yet doctor said I used to stent for it what should I do know I'm very confused please guide me
Male | 64
This may be bile duct stenosis where your bile duct gets narrowed. When this happens, it can block up and cause those symptoms you’re feeling. The kind of stent the doctor was talking about is a tiny tube placed in there to keep that passage open. You must follow everything he says about this and any other treatments they give you. Keep in touch with your doctor so that they can help manage things properly for you.

Most of the times the blood is mixed in with the stool other times it's mixed in and there are mucus blood clots floating in the water. Is this something I should be immediately concerned with.
Male | 56
It may be due to various reasons, including less serious conditions like hemorrhoids or infections, it could also be a sign of more serious issues such as inflammatory bowel disease or gastrointestinal bleeding. Consult a gastroenterologist preferably from a good hospital for a thorough evaluation, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment.

Tiny outgrowths found in the gallbladder are known as gallbladder polyps. Symptoms of this condition are generally absent. However, some people may experience abdominal pain, vomiting or nausea if they have gallbladder polyps.

You must see a doctor immediately to determine your symptoms' cause. It could be anything from a stomach virus to a foodborne illness to a more serious condition. Your doctor can run tests to determine the cause and provide the appropriate treatment. In the meantime, it is important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and avoiding foods that could worsen your symptoms.

My dad is suffering from gastric problem. He took medicines. But he didn't get relief.
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.

Male | 2month 10days
After a colostomy operation, it may take some time for your son to have normal bowel movements. This is normal as the body needs time to adjust. It usually takes about a week for bowel movements to return. During this time, it’s important to stay hydrated, eat nutritious food, and follow the advice of healthcare professionals. If you notice any alarming symptoms such as severe pain, abdominal swelling, or no bowel movements for an extended period, consult your doctor immediately.

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.
