Question 1

gastritis dx 1 month ago - due to ingestion of extreme hot sauce. strict 1200 calorie diet but binged friday (4k calories+!) - belching returned + left side pain/cramping.  should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

If you continue.: Your stomach is reacting to your indiscretion.  If you don't continue to abuse it, you will not suffer.  Stick to a bland diet with small meals and your stomach will not be hurting.  A plant-based, whole food diet will result in the least health problems in the future.
Right now, you may get relief with some Tums (calcium carbonate) or Rolaids; which are over the counter antacids.

Left lower abd pain: The two most common causes of left, lower abdominal pain are constipation (pain would likely be "crampy") and diverticulitis (an infection of a little sack on your colon), which might have low grade fever and would have a sharper pain when you pressed on it. Women are susceptible to other causes of pain in this area such as pelvic infection or ovary problems.

Can be serious: Diarrhea can be dangerous and life-threatening in elderly people. If you are having three or more runny stools in 24 hours, you should call your doctor. The left sided pain could mean you are suffering from diverticulitis. If so, you would have to be treated with antibiotics. Another common causes would be a viral infection, food poisoning, taking too many medications with a newly added medication.
