Question 2

Hi for the past 2 days i have been getting diarrohea as soon as i eat anything. today i have had lower left abdominal pain. i don't feel ill, afebrile?

Accepted Answer

Llq pain be caused by a multitude of things. It could diverticular disease, kidney stone, bladder distension, pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy. Avoid mild for now. Watch for increased pain, fever, vomiting, black or red stools. Two days of diarrhea are not necessary a red flag for the more serious things I have mentioned.Try a brat diet for a few days ( bananas, rice, apple sauce and toast) low fibe.

Question 3

Today i have had a sudden onset of passing tan colored mucous, instead of passing stool. gassy. no abd pain. no blood. afebrile. concerning?

Accepted Answer

Passing mucus and tan colored stools are consistent with mucus colitis, irritable bowel syndrome or a noninvasive intestinal infection which is most often viral. These conditions are usually mild and improve quickly with avoidance of harsh roughage in your diet and taking kaopectate (kaolin and pectin) as needed. More persistent cases of colitis require investigation like stool cultures or consultation with an MD

Question 4

Why do i have a chronically elevated c reactive protein?  i am afebrile, asymptomatic, eat a healthy anti inflammatory diet, have no dental disease.

Accepted Answer

I'm a pathologist and focused on the lab. Often, I wish we didn't even check CRP's. It's worthless except as an adjunct to the big picture. There's talk of it being a weak coronary risk factor -- but what are you going to do about it? Just live healthy. Plenty of people are in your situation -- we've just created one more thing to worry unnecessarily about. Manage your health & put it out of mind.

Irregular bleeding is not an uncommon occurrence after pregnancy, especially if  breastfeeding is involved.  With the micronor (norethindrone) (progesterone only pill) your bleeding should decrease in amount and duration.

It sounds like you may have a furuncle  (small boil). Your lymph nodes are probably reacting to the infection. Many patients make the mistake of squeezing boils. This may cause further injury to the skin and make things worse! apply a warm compress and be patient. Don't squeeze.
