Question 1

my stomach hurts only at night when trying to sleep.  my stool is pretty consistent brown with an occasional greenish hue post red wine.  thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Abdominal pain: You should not be having abdominal pain.  Color of stools, as long as not colorless or jet black or grossly bloody has little meaning.  Suggest you see a doctor and have the abdominal pain evaluated.  If you have helicobacter infection this needs to be treated to reduce risks of malignancy, etc.  Good luck and feel better soon.

Aspirin is safe: Aspirin 81 mg daily is recommended.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Its OK to have: a special glass of wine for special occasions but I would reserve the use of a standard glass of wine for standard occasions.  Do not drink and drive. Thank you for trusting Health Tap.

Question 4

what might be the cause of a recurring soreness on the left side of the tip of my tongue?  apples, red wine, nuts, etc. worsen the problem.

Accepted Answer

See dentist: Could be canker sore, small ulceration that is tender, heals in 7-10 days; trauma from teeth; superficial or deeper abnormality; much less likely referred pain, etc. Smoker? Hpv? White lesion? Seedentist first. If need biopsy, oral surgeon.

Question 5

started gralise for nerve pain. problems other than sleepiness or dizziness with a glass of red wine in late afternoon or lunesta (eszopiclone) for sleep?

Accepted Answer

Lunesta (eszopiclone): Lunesta (eszopiclone) and gabapentin work on the same GABA-nergic system (albeit in different ways).  Adding the 2 of these drugs together plus alcohol is not advisable - as they would have additive effects on each other and increase the risk of CNS depression.

Question 6

hi 
im 27 yes old. just a had baby 10months ago. i started to have stomach problems the beginning of this yr it started mild then gotten extremely worst.  gynecologist said it wasnt the issue now im seeing a g.i. he seems to think its  chocoltis?

Accepted Answer

: More tan likely, you "stomach problems" have nothing to do with your recent pregnancy or birth.  I have never heard of "chocolitis," but cholecystitis is gall bladder disease and nerves further evaluation by the gastroenterologist.

Question 7

are you able to help with stomach problems?

Accepted Answer

Depends: You have to be more specific than "stomach problems". Where is the pain, when is the pain, what is the quality of the pain, any other symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, blood in the stool etc.

Question 8

can you tell me how worrying cause stomach problems?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety may: cause GI symptoms.

Question 9

what foods should i cut out to reduce my stomach problems?

Accepted Answer

Depends : Indigestion for example is reduced by avoiding caffeine, acidic foods like citrus, tomato sauce, carbonated drinks and alcohol/tobacco.  Sitting up for 2 hours after eating can help.  Gallbladder disease is lessened sometimes by avoiding fatty foods.  Eating more smaller meals than fewer big meals can help some disorders.  The lactose intolerant avoid milk.  Depends on your problem.

Question 10

why does coke make me have stomach problems?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: Maybe the carbonic acid or the caffeine.
