Question 1

what are the differences between duodenal and gastric ulcers in symptoms !? and which one food will releif its pain !?

Accepted Answer

See details: The symptoms are quite similar. Epigastric pain, bloating, nausea, abdominal tenderness are possible symptoms. Food may help but consider seeing a GI specialist and starting meds to help heal the ulcer.

Question 2

i have been diagnosed with iritis and gastroparesis. gastric symptoms started in october and i developed iritis the ending of last year. labs came back normal for autoimmune disorders. could these issues be related and should i seek a second opinion?

Accepted Answer

Suspect relationship: At age 28, iritis and gastroparesis are both unusual and likely to be caused by an underlying disorder.  Cannot at this point pin down precise diagnosis based upon just the provided data, but clearly, would endorse more thorough evaluation.  A second opinion is clearly warranted, and perhaps get this done at one of the excellent medical schools in your state.

Question 3

what are the symptoms of a gastric attack?

Accepted Answer

??: Hi, what do you mean by Gastric attack? The ulcer? GERD? Gastritis?

Question 4

after how much time leakage can happen after gastric sleeve and what are the symptoms?

Accepted Answer

: Leakage can only occur if the repair/ surgery breaks down in the immediate post op period- if I understand your question correctly.

Question 5

dose donperenone improve the gastroparesis or just improve symptoms if i stop taking it would gastric motility be better or the same as before?

Accepted Answer

Gastroparesis : Domperidone improves symptoms of gastroparesis but does not cure the underlying problem. Once discontinued i would expect gastric motility to return to pretreatment baseline. Importantly, domperidone is not available in the usa due to the risk of side effects such as cardiac conduction abnormalities and possibility of sudden cardiac death.

Question 6

what is the difference between gastric cancer and gastritis? ( like how can you tell if you have gastritis and not g.cancer. ) like a symptom or something to make the difference?

Accepted Answer

: Gastric cancer is relatively rare and would be very unlikely, especially in a 25 year old. There would be no way to diagnose either of them definitively based on symptoms alone, and both of them require testing to establish the diagnosis. If you are having upper G.I. symptoms, do a short trial of antacids, and if you are no better, see your doctor or a gastroenterologist. Good luck.

Question 7

what neurological disorders can also cause gastric symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Seizures: A range of neurological conditions can cause GI symptoms ranging from things as simple as anxiety to seizure disorders.

Question 8

can anxiety cause gastric symptoms like rapid gastric emptying during an anxiety attack?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, it is possible for anxiety and anxiety attacks to affect the gastric motility. Anxiety or stress has been known to cause stomach and intestinal symptoms including but not limited to gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, digestion related problems and gut motility. Doing deep breathing exercises or meditation can help curb these attacks.

Question 9

how can i tell if i have stretched out my gastric bypass pouch, are there any symptoms

Accepted Answer

Stretched pouch: Depends how long you are after surgery. Your increased food intake could be normal if you are a long time out, let's say two years.  But if you regained weight and are concerned and it has been several years out then you can follow up with your surgeon and get a work up like an UGI series oand endoscopy.

Question 10

hello dr, i have contracted gb with multiple stones, each 7mm,dont have any other symptoms except the gastric issue with severe back pain, pls advice.

Accepted Answer

Surgery: If the gallbladder has stones and is causing symptoms it is time for surgery.  A low fat duet can help with symptoms until the surgery is done.  Good luck
