Question

What could cause mild gastritis not to heal w/ use of ppis? No hiv, normal CT scan, colonoscopy, blood& stool tests. Upper endoscopy(gerd/gastritis)

Answer 1

Impossible for a distant forum respondent to advise you. Too complex. Discuss with the doctor who manages your inflammatory bowel disease. Good luck.

Answer 2

See your doc: I would recommend and ultrasound of the pelvis and possibly abdomen. Maybe some blood tests also. If the pain becomes severe or gets worse, go to the er as it could be appendicitis.

Answer 3

Depends: How long ago was surgery? Have you been back to see your doctor. The cause could be adhesions from the tubal procedure

Answer 4

Fever Cough Diarrhea: Sounds like you may have a viral illness. I would recommend that you see your primary provider to make sure you do not have pneumonia and that you are doing everything to help you recover promptly.

Answer 5

Time to see an MD: At this point you need to see a doctor as your symptoms indicate a persistent condition that may be worsening and certainly is not getting better. It could be a sinus infection or a viral process. If you are already on antibiotics the diarrhea could be from them, if not it could indicate a virus or another type of systemic illness. Get checked out.

Answer 6

Gall bladder removal: Your fullness in your stomach may not have anything to do with your gall bladder removal and everything with your heavy drinking. You may have a gastritis of your stomach from the irritation from drinking. Stop the drinking to see if you will get better. Your stomach may take one or two weeks to heal. Add over the counter Prilosec which will help the healing process.

Answer 7

Biopsy when stable: The current studies suggest that there may be a cancer. The source could be the lung or thyroid. This could also be benign, but with the pe it will need further workup. After the pe is stabilized a biopsy is the only way to know.

Answer 8

Biopsy: Biopsy is needed to prove cancer. However, it cannot be done while on anticoagulation which he needs for the pe. You may consider a pet scan to find the easiest place to biopsy once the anticoagulation can be safely held. There are also alternative diagnoses to explain all of these findings, such as autoimmune diseases and infection. That said, you still need to rule out cancer.

Answer 9

Biopsy: The easiest in this case is to biopsy the thyroid nodules. You don't need to go off the anticoagulant to biopsy a thyroid nodule. The needles that we use is so small that bleeding is not a big concern with thyroid biopsies.

Answer 10

Consult physician: As you can imagine there are several causes for your symptoms, some severe and some not severe. But a physician needs to see you to question you about them and perform a physical examination. Test may/may not be ordered according to the physician's impression, but most of the time he/she will do. Good luck!

Answer 11

Weight loss: IF you are having persistent pain and weight loss you should be seen.

Answer 12

See doctor: Agree with Dr. Hickerson. Unintended weight loss warrants evaluation by a doctor. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine
