Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Before two years, I started experiencing a feeling that I need to vomit. It would stay constant. I never did vomit as a result of that, but it stayed for approximately 8 months. I could not sleep or eat well, because of that feel. Accompanied with that feeling was extreme constipation. It would take me three to five days to be able to use the bathroom. After that was over with, the stomach pain would not go away and since then my digestion has been terrible. The problem stayed with me and is still with me, although now it has changed quite a lot.

These days, it is a week of a huge amount of gases (burping continuously for hours) and acidity in my stomach, combined with a feeling of vomiting. I would also like to add that my bowel movement is not regular. Some day it will be soft and the other day extremely watery. I have not had a regular stool in the past 2 years. Since yesterday, my stool is green, even though I did not have any vegetables or anything green in the past week.

I had many tests at the hospital and the doctors said that there is nothing wrong. Some doctors gave me medication for IBS, which only made me feel worse. I have also been prescribed with a medicine to stop or slow down the formation of acidity and that did not work either. Laxatives also did not work. The only test I have not done is endoscopy.

Every doctor I have been to said a different thing and none seems to know the problem. If possible, based on the symptoms I have mentioned, please do inform me what this could be. I am a 23 year old male.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. It seems that your issue is more indicative of a gastrointestinal motility disorder rather than a specific disease. Intestinal motility is influenced by factors such as diet, water intake, and psychological aspects. Continually focusing on the concern can exacerbate the situation. To address this, consider increasing your water and fiber consumption while reducing non-vegetarian foods. Regular exercise, including a 10-minute morning run, can aid in lowering your BMI and enhancing gut function. Tablet Domperidone is recommended to boost gut motility; however, it's important to consult your specialist before starting any medication. Since your blood tests are normal, it suggests adequate intestinal food absorption. Considering an endoscopy could be beneficial, as uncommon causes that haven't been considered by doctors might emerge. It's always good to explore all potential factors.

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