Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 23-year-old male, currently weighing 119 pounds. A year ago, I weighed 132 pounds. I have been experiencing digestion problems for the past 5 years. Over the past 6 months, my symptoms have included mostly constipation, but I have also had episodes of diarrhea in between. A couple of months ago, I was diagnosed with colitis. I had loose motions five times in a row within a few hours, and after an ultrasound, it was determined that I had colitis. Now, I am facing heavy bloating, occasional breathlessness, and there are two to three days between passing stools. Additionally, my stools have black spots or sometimes contain white undigested parts. Over the past couple of days, I have had bowel movements six times. I have been taking VSL probiotics, ornida antibiotics, and rabium for the past 5 days. I would appreciate your guidance. While there is no intense pain, I feel a sense of heaviness, fatigue, and sometimes experience slight chills.

Hello,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern.

Do not worry. All symptoms seem to be due to poor digestion. Please undergo a stool examination, LFT (liver function test), and colonoscopy for a clearer diagnosis. Meanwhile, Please avoid oily, spicy foods, and non-vegetarian dishes for a few weeks. Practice yoga and pranayama regularly. Go for regular walks to improve digestion. Include more salads and fruits in your diet. I suggest you take the following medicines:

  1. Tablet Bandy Plus (a combination of Albendazole and Ivermectin): One single dose only.
  2. Capsule Aristozyme: One capsule twice a day after meals for seven days.

Send me a follow-up after seven days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take the medicines with their consent.

You can always come back and reach me at icliniq.com.

Thank you for consulting me.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
