Q. Does erythematous gastritis result in stomach cancer issues in future?

Hi doctor,

Four months back, I had issues of stomach bloating and frequent bowel movement. My DP did an endoscopy and found out the I had erythematous gastritis. He had prescribed medicine for one month. The issue of stomach bloating and frequent bowel movement issue got resolved. But now and then I keep getting stomach bloating issue. And even if I press my stomach inside below the ribs area and right and left of mid-belly there is a mild pain. Please assist with my below queries:

Is erythematous gastritis a serious sickness? Does erythematous gastritis result in stomach cancer issues in the future? Why does my stomach bloating problems occurs now and then? Are there any other tests to be performed to confirm no other underlying issues in my stomach?

Thank you doctor,

I have a few more questions. I exercise at the gym daily even before gastritis occurred not sure why it has occurred. And I do not drink also. That is my worry. With this healthy life already what else I should change? Can I continue Pan 40 mg or Pantop 40 mg instead of the above medications prescribed? I have already been on this medication for the past one months. Should I have Pan 40 mg or Pantop 40 mg for two more weeks?

Hi Doctor,

I would like to clean my stomach and intestine for keeping them healthy and clear off any germs.

Could you please suggest medicines to clean my stomach and intestine?

Hi doctor,

I saw this pattern of blood on tissue paper today morning while bowel passing. I need your help in understanding my below questions. 1. Is this blood came from piles (I have external piles since five years) or from the intestines? 2. My usual bowel movements and textures are not consistent, I wanted to know if there are any tests available to make sure there are no blockages in my intestines? I also have stomach bloating issues since two days. 3. Please suggest a screening test apart from colonoscopy. Please help.

Hi doctor,

Thanks for your reply.

I have noticed that most of the time my bowel size is thin like a pencil. And my bowel movement is not smooth. Sometimes I get constipation and sometimes diahera. On the internet I found out that this could be a symptom of colon cancer. I am worried as my symptoms are similar. That is why I want to do a screening for colon cancer also. Please advise on the same.

Hi doctor,

Thanks for your reply.

But this symptoms as stated above I am observing from three to five months now. Does IBS persist for so long? Could you suggest medicines for IBS? And also suggest medicines for curing piles or at least for reducing it.

Hi doctor,

Thanks for your reply.

Can I take those tests even tomorrow? Is there any preparations required to be done before the test like fasting or dieting?

Hi doctor,

Thanks for your reply.

So I should got to lab and ask for occult blood test right? Should I not pass motion in morning then? Is this available in diagnostic centers in my area?

Hi doctor,

Thanks for your reply.

I have done all the tests you have asked for. And I also have done blood sugar (post having breakfast) and liver function test also, just to be on safe side. Kindly review them and share your inputs. My current symptoms are- 1. Stomach bloating without abdomen pain. 2. Lite indigestion. 3. Bowels are not in consistent texture and bowel movement is not smooth. 4. Reduced appetite. 5. Also have external piles.

Hi doctor,

Thanks for your reply and reviewing my reports and confirming everything is alright. I am so relieved now. Could you please mention when to take these medications before food or after food? Could you please explain what each medication is for? And what is the mg or dosage each medications should be?

Hi doctor,

Thanks for your reply. I am taking those medications as you had directed. I have few more questions. 1.I am planning to get married but I am worried about IBS issues. Will it cause any life threatening issues is future? 2. Should I postpone my marriage? 3.How long will it take for my current IBS to resolve and get to normal. I am worried thinking about all these. Please provide your inputs on these.

Hi doctor,

Thanks for your reply.

I am also noticing that for past two days I am getting stomach aching and lower belly aching after I snack and after 30 minutes I get lot of flatulence and then I get relief. This happens during evening time. Is this also due to IBS? Will the existing medication resolve this issue also?

Hi doctor,

Thanks for your reply.

I am on below medication as you suggested, 1. Capsule Normaxin RT twice daily 2. Capsule Normaxin MB twice daily Does Syrup Ranidom-O come in tablet form?

Hi doctor,

Thanks for your reply. It has been six days I have been under the medication you suggested.My stomach bloating issues has gone and meal also gets digested without any issues. Now I am getting stomach cramps a bit often post lunch. These cramps occur under my right ribs. Like a electric shock. This suddenly comes and goes. 1. Is this due to IBS or side effects of the above medication I have been taking? 2. And the the stool for occult blood test which I did last week (which was negative) also eradicate blood coming from Stomach also, right? Four months back I did a stomach endoscopy also which was also normal. I am worried why are stomach issues are not resolved and some or the issues keeps occurring. Are these early symptoms of stomach cancer or something? Or this is still IBS symptoms? Please review my endoscopy report and advise on the cramps also.

Hi doctor,

Thanks for your reply.

To give my background, you had diagnosised me with IBS, and I had been on below medication for ten days now. 1. Capsule Normaxin RT twice daily. 2. Capsule Normaxin MB twice daily. Now my symptoms have reduced. I am feeling relieved now. I am now having bloating issues only when I have rice. Either for lunch or dinner. If I have chapati I do not get this type of feeling. Could you advise on the same. Why this issue occurs only when I have rice. Please let me know if I have to follow any diet going forward.

Hi doctor,

Thanks for your reply.

Last year, you had diagnosed me with IBS and you had prescribed the below medication to me. I had recovered completely and I was fine. Last week I had viral cold and have taken antibiotics. But I have started having lose stools after medication course completed. I had near ten times yesterday. Could you please advise if my IBS has come back or this loose motion is related to something else. I also have penial yeast infection after the medication completed. The color of the stool is brown. Can I take the below medication which you had previously prescribed for my IBS issues.1. Capsule Normaxin RT twice daily 2. Capsule Normaxin MB twice daily

Hi doctor,

Thanks for your reply.

Will the loose stool stop by itself or I have to take capsule Eldoper? I have taken capsule Eldoper 2 mg yesterday and the frequency has reduced to twice but the motions are still lose. What about penial yeast infection? I am taking tablet Flucos 150 mg for three days. Even this was due to Sensiclav? There is lot of weakness shown on my face, there is no weight loss but visual weakness is shown on my face. Please help.
