Question 1

i was recently diagnosed with hashimotos and goiter. since my diagnosis ive had stomach discomfort that gets worse on an empty stomach. after getting a endoscopy/colonoscopy there were no abnormalities. could it be hashimotos related or anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Possible : You may be still relatively hypothyroid as could take time for meds to stabilize.  Your endocrinologist should be an excellent advisor for the next steps

Question 2

stomach pain normal a day after endoscopy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: See your health care provider if it persists or worsens.

Question 3

what to do if i have bad stomach pain after painful endoscopy?

Accepted Answer

Time frame ?: In the immediate period after endoscopy, the pain could be from gaseous distention but this usually passes once the gas has been passed. If however the pain symptoms are severe after this period or even in the immediate period following the procedure, i would check right away with your GI doctor so as to assure that all is well.

Question 4

bad stomach pain after painful endoscopy, what do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

Call physician: Who did the endoscopy to be safe. If pain is not going way, getting worse, or you start noticing other symptoms, stay safe and go to er. Endoscopy, as long as it is not along with something to help with a stricture, should not be painful hours later. If it was painful at time, may have caused some inflammation, but check to be safe.

Question 5

i got my endoscopy today for stomach pain and acidity and they found that i have oesophagitis grade a. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation.: You esophagus is inflamed and this could be from any number of reasons including acidity or infection from eg fungus. I am sure your GI doctor will guide you accordingly with regards to appropriate therapy. Be well.

Question 6

endoscopy showed low enzymes level in duodenum. i had no symptoms other than stomach pain and its now gone. anything i need to do about those enzymes?

Accepted Answer

Enzyme deficiency: Low pancreatic enzymes in the duodenal juices indicate pancreatic insufficiency. This is manifested by   inability of the body to absorb nutrients causing diarrhea and weight loss. Malabsorption of fat soluble vitamins D, A, E  and K occurs.  I assume alcohol abuse hasn't injured your pancreas. I recommend taking pancreatic supplements if your MD also agrees it's advisable.

Question 7

what are the reasons to get a colonoscopy if still in 30's? and what all does a colonoscopy show ? is stomach pain, and different color stool usually figured out by endoscopy? thank you?

Accepted Answer

: A colonoscopy is an exam used to detect changes or abnormalities in the large intestine  and rectum. An upper endoscopy is a procedure used to visually examine your upper digestive system with a tiny camera on the end of a long, flexible tube. One is lower, the other is upper. Age has nothing to do with it. Let your gastroenterologist do their job.

Question 8

had endoscopy and biopsys were benign.. chronic gastritis. taken protonix twice a day and bentley for stomach pain as needed and watch my diet. going on for 2 months. have woke up a couple of times with stomach pain and upset. stomach pain goes away?

Accepted Answer

: Would expect that the gastritis would start to remit by this point, but as we get older, it takes longer to fully heal, and if you have a co-morbidity such as diabetes, the process would be even more prolonged.  It is possible that your medications may need adjustment or revision.  Talk to your gastroenterologist and make a joint decision.

Question 9

Hope it's helpful

Ask your gastroenterologist!
