Why do I experience chronic constipation and stomach sucking?

Patient's Query

I've been having constipation problems for about a year or a little more now. I don't have any serious signs of IBD nor chron's disease. I constantly have to wait about 2 days to empty my bowel. I don't quite understand what causes this problem, but I also have a habit of sucking my stomach in a lot, so maybe could that be it?

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

When you pull your tummy in a lot, it can be tough for your guts to work well. This might result in constipation. Relax your belly muscles and try to drink more water, and eat lots of high-fiber foods such as fruits and vegetables. Also, doing regular physical activity can help.

Hi I have a very silly question. I had a gastroscopy without sedation. Is it safe to have 1 glass of wine with a friend ? The numbing throat spray has worn off.

Female | 46

After a gastroscopy, do not take too much force on your body. The glass of wine can hurt your throat because the numbing spray has already worn off. You might feel some mild discomfort or have a little acidity. It's better to wait one or two days before relishing that wine.

My stomach is having gas bubble

Male | 48

Okay you can try a few remedies to find relief. Drink warm liquids like herbal teas or warm water with lemon to relax the stomach muscles. Avoid carbonated drinks and chewing gum as they can contribute to gas production.

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.

Male | 30

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.

My boyfriend had, what I suspect to be, Norovirus 8 days ago. He had diarrhea for about 18 to 22 hours, and he only had one bout of vomiting, which he believes was due to the Mountain Dew he drank on an upset stomach. Since its been 8 days since his symptoms have stopped, would it be safe to engage in close contact activities like kissing again?

Male | 23

Norovirus is a bug. It can make­ your stomach feel bad. After it goe­s away, wait a bit before kissing. This makes sure­ it is all gone. 8 days since his last symptoms are good. But wait longer to be­ safe. Washing hands well stops the spre­ad.

I have stomach ache since last night and I am feeling weak and my body is becoming hot i think I have favour and I also have headache which tablet should I take

Male | 18

To relieve your ailments you can take a penny medication that you just get from a pharmacy over-the-counter like paracetamol which will help lower your fever and reduce your headache. Get enough rest, drink plenty of fluids, and feast on some light food like soup and crackers. In case your symptoms still do not improve in the slightest degree or your condition is getting worse then you had better seek medical assistance at once.
