Get indigestion acid vapour in neck when lying in bed ppi and antacid dont work.1 specimen stool test trivial trace blood in result dr said its normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
True: Particularly depending on the method of testing stool for blood, it can be normal to have a sma.ll positive. However, it is tested for a reason and should not be ignored. Indigestion that does not improve with medicine needs to be evaluated with endoscopy to look for inflammation or lesions. Be sure to avoid nsaids and talk to your doctor also about ruling out H. pylori infection.
