Question 1

my dad is sugstd extrctn of 8-10 teeths under ga. he is 65 & hav no health issues (no bp, sugar etc).r there inherent risks in extractng multpl teeths?

Accepted Answer

Always some risk: Any procedure has inherent risks. If he is in good health without any medical problems, and under the care of a qualified health care provider, the risks are minimal for what you describe. The more teeth extracted at the same time, the more chance of post operative bleeding and soreness which is common and usually easily managed. Ga is seldom used. Are you referring to IV sedation which is safer?

Question 2

what happens if i dont pass trapped gas? i feel gassy. i tried to slowly drink a small sugar free soda?

Accepted Answer

: Well over time you will likely pass it slowly and may be in your sleep.

Question 3

i have xifaxan (rifaximin) 550mg 3x a day for 14 days. i'm reading online stories people had bad gas, fatigue and sugar cravings. how likely to happen to me?

Accepted Answer

Moderate: Gastrointestinal symptoms are fairly common with Xifaxan (rifaximin), and fatigue is such a common symptom that it is likely to be seen with any medicine.  The sugar craving is a side effect I have not really seen with the Xifaxan, but all people like sugar, so if you are expecting to crave sugar, this is also likely to occur.  Most side effects are mild and you can live with them for 2 weeks.

Question 4

my 6 week old has gas problems on enfamil newborn, what should i give her, and should i be concerned about corn syrup and sugar in gentle formulas?

Accepted Answer

Formula issues: Your baby may be having issues with the formula.  There are alternatives to this, such as soy formulas.  Still, you should see your pediatrician or fp about this problem, so he/she can help determine what would be appropriate.  There should be no corn syrup or sugar added to the formula, as this has been formulated to come as close as mother's milk as possible.  Only water should be added to this.

Question 5

my paed recommended that my 4 week old baby be moved onto novalac ac for gas and winds. she is now suffering from constipation and i give her treacle sugar in her bottles once/twice a day for relief. should i move her onto another formula or leave?

Accepted Answer

pediatrics: The baby should continue on her usual formula. No sugar should be added to the formula. Please see your Pediatrician to follow up. Ensure that the baby is well hydrated and receiving enough formula. For fever and/or vomiting please see acute care.

Question 6

i have gas problems and feel like want to go to toilet after every meals. i am taking metformin and glimepiride for sugar. also amlong 5.ecosprin av, ?

Accepted Answer

Bowel frequency: Patients who take metformin frequently complain of gastrointestinal distress similar to your symptoms. There may, of course be some other cause, so you should definitely discuss these symptoms with your doctor. 
Some patients report improvement on the XR version of metformin, so that might be a good alternative. Do not stop any of your medications without your doctor's advice.

Question 7

gas after normal bowel movements. low carb and low sugar and dairy diet. incorporating fiber - prunes, apples raisins, oatmeal. colonoscopy 6 years ago was fine.
not sure what causes gas after a bowel movement?

Accepted Answer

Try varying it.: Fiber is viewed favorably for its absorption of fluid, preventing constipation, lowering cholesterol and (sometime) blood sugar. However, it can contribute to bowel gas. A trial of reduced fiber might help.  Another approach can be a trial of the active  agent in Gas-X, simethicone; it's available in oral forms. Its mechanism of action is the reduction of bubble surface tension, reducing gas.

Question 8

sugar problem high?

Accepted Answer

Let me help: Diabetes is a condition where the glucose or sugar levels are too high in the blood.
Go and check it out to be sure.

Question 9

how is sugar bad for you?

Accepted Answer

Glucose + fructose: Table sugar is a disaccharide composed of the sugars mentioned above. The body processes fructose via a route which metabolizes into fat. Avoid table sugar when possible and especially high fructose corn syrup.

Question 10

how much sugar is too much?

Accepted Answer

Don't need to eat it: People do not need to eat sugar. The lack of sugar does not harm the body. The body makes sugar from starches and other foods that people eat. It's fine to have very small amounts of sugar in our foods to make them tasty and enjoyable. Beyond that, any additional sugar is not needed.
