What can relieve lower intestinal cramping and nausea?

Patient's Query

Lower intestinal cramping, nausea, with not much results trying to have a bowel movement. Meds include avastation, lostarten and thyroid med to name a few. She is currently on an antibiotic for diverticulitis. Is there anything she should be taking (or not) that could relive her discomfort?

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

Lower intestinal cramping, nausea, and difficulty with bowel movements can definitely be tough. Given your medications and the antibiotic for diverticulitis, these symptoms could be due to various factors like medication side effects, the infection itself, or even the condition of diverticulitis. It's essential to stay hydrated, eat fiber-rich foods, and possibly try gentle exercises to help with bowel movements. You might want to check with your gastroenterologist about adjusting your medications or adding any supplements to ease your symptoms.

I am suffering from IBS and losing my hair plz stop my hair fall I think it's nutrition observation problem

Male | 26

IBS and hair loss frustrate you. Hair loss with IBS could mean poor nutrient absorption. IBS brings stomach pain, bloating, and bowel habit shifts. Focus on die­t rich in vitamins and minerals for hair growth: iron, zinc, and biotin. See a he­althcare provider about suppleme­nts for nutrients.

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to discuss my ongoing gastrointestinal issues that have persisted despite my recent surgery for chronic constipation and rectal prolapse. I underwent a laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy, but I am still experiencing significant problems related to anal hypotension and hypocontractility, as well as prolonged Balloon Expulsion Test (BET) results indicative of Type 1 Dyssynergia. Despite the surgical intervention, I continue to struggle with inadequate anal sphincter tone and a reduced ability to contract effectively. These issues have led to ongoing difficulties with bowel control and frequent episodes of constipation. The prolonged BET results suggest that my pelvic floor muscles are still not coordinating properly during bowel movements. Given my history and the current symptoms, I would greatly appreciate your expertise in identifying the next steps for management. Specifically, I am interested in exploring options such as pelvic floor rehabilitation, biofeedback therapy, or any further diagnostic evaluations that may be necessary to address these issues effectively. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your guidance on how we can best proceed to improve my condition.

These issues might be due to problems with the pelvic floor muscles not functioning properly during bowel movements. Pelvic floor rehabilitation could help by improving muscle coordination and strength in the pelvic area, potentially aiding in better bowel control. Another option is biofeedback therapy, which uses sensors to teach you how to coordinate your muscles during bowel movements. Discuss these options with your medical team to find the best approach for you. Additional diagnostic tests might be needed to understand the situation better.

Am anand having breathing problem (aspiration )due to GERD for last week. Kindly prescribe tablets for this and food habit for gerd recovery. No pain in chest and abdomen, only breathing issue. Ecg normal.

Male | 37

GERD is a disorder that occurs when stomach acid comes back into the food pipe. The food pipe is what brings the food to the stomach. This can result in breathing problems as well. In this case, you can take antacids such as Tums or Rolaids to help with the acid. Avoid spicy, fatty, and acidic foods. Try to eat smaller meals and do not lie down right after eating. This can make you feel better.

Iam suffering from irritable bowl syndrome

Female | 17

Many people­ get irritable bowel syndrome­, also called IBS. It can make your stomach hurt and cause bloating, loose­ stool, or hard stool. Things like stress or certain foods might worse­n it. Eating smaller meals could assist. Avoiding foods that trigger it, such as spicy ite­ms, can be beneficial too. Managing stre­ss helps a lot of people. Drinking lots of wate­r daily and keeping active may e­ase symptoms for some people.
