Question 1

can ulcers in the stomach, duodenum, and/or intestines cause these locations to become permeable to any degree?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Ulcers are the result of the loss of the normal protective lining...Permeability will increase until the ulcer heals.

Question 2

hi i have been suffering with ulcer on my small intestine dr but me on pantoprazol 40mg two times a day it's been 3weeks know and i'm still hurting ?

Accepted Answer

Ulcer: If this ulcer was the cause of your pain it usually would be improving by now on pantoprazole. If you have been taking the medicine regularly and are not improving, you should return to your doctor for further advice. Good luck.

Question 3

brother has polycythemia vera and on serial baby aspirin. developed ulcers in small intestine. can he substitute the baby aspirin with something else?

Accepted Answer

Try flexible dosing: Consider enteric coated baby aspirin and always take with food, never on an empty stomach. You may consider taking the aspirin less frequently ie. every other day or 3 times a week.

Question 4

colonoscopy found tiny ulcers in my small intestine doc questioning if crohn's can this be if after iron infusion i now have normal cbc and iron level?

Accepted Answer

Small or large?: Doesn't really make a lot of difference, but i suspect colonoscopy found ulcers in large intestine and your doc felt they might look like crohn's.   A good response to iron infusion does not change any of the thinking about whether those lesions are crohn's like.   The biopsy should give a lot more information.

Question 5

what about the very bad somacth burn anytime i eat or go to the rest room some time the burn pain is in really bad went to the er last night and they gave me sucralfate colonoscopy cam back good could it be a ulcer or come with the small intestine?

Accepted Answer

: It could. Did the doc mention doing possible upper endoscopy- which may help find the problem?

Question 6

hi. active chronic colitis with acute cryptitis and crypt abscesses.neg dyplasia or malignant. term ileum benign small intestine mucosa no sig pathology change. did have 2 ulcers. doc said not ulcerative colitis, maybe crohn's. no diagnosis. opinion?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: From what you described, you have inflammatory bowel disease. It is not feasible to narrow the diagnosis further, without additional information, especially examining the tissue that was removed. It may take a collaboration between, pathology, radiology and gastroenterology to sort it out.
Wish you good health!

Question 7

can a stomach ulcer cause bowel problems? constipation/loose stool/cramping/gurgling/bloating/pain in lower left abdomen?

Accepted Answer

No: All GI complaints mentioned are totally unrelated to a stomach ulcer.  The latter produces upper midline abdominal pain relieved by food or antiacids and if perforating posteriorly into lesser sac, the space behind the stomach, back pain develops.  Constipation or loose stool related to diet or inflammation of bowel and if in sigmoid colon with diverticular disease. lt. lower abodiminal pain noted

Question 8

can a stom..or duodenal ulcer cause prob.w/ bowel movements? can her.mesh rep.be involved with ulcer form.?

Accepted Answer

Yes and NO: Ulcer usually results in loose bowel movements, diarrhea, gas and bloating.   I cannot see how a hernia mesh result in the increase in stomach acid.

Question 9

what would cause burning pain thats unreal if colonoscopy came back good i do have internal hemorrhoids but not sure if that would be cause the burning on my upper somtach could it be ulcer or small intestine cause it ?

Accepted Answer

: Colonoscopy does not detect causes of burning in your upper stomach- just the large intestine. For these symptoms could be due to many conditions eg indigestion, stomach and esophageal conditions. Check with your doc or GI.

Question 10

my ct scan showed distention of the duodenum and possible thickening of the small intestine. what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Maybe nothing: why did you have the scan done?  A stomach flu might give you those symptoms .  If having a lot of pain or other issues you could see a surgeon or GI MD to scope you and they can pass a camera into your duodenum to check
