Hello Doctor,
Since 1 month I have been suffering from stomach problem. Whenever I eat something, I immediately have stomach pain and pass stools. There is swelling in both the ankles. I feel weak. What could be the problem?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- The stomach ache may be due to peptic ulcer.
- If the pain increases after consuming food, then the location of ulcer is in the stomach.
- Hence, such patients hesitate to eat food despite hunger.
- On the other hand, if the abdominal pain is seen before food and the pain subsides after food, then the ulcer is located in the duodenum.
- These patients eat more not to get pain and sometimes put on weight.
- In both the conditions, patients suffer from flatulence (gas in stomach) and frequent defecation.
- Avoid spicy, oily (for example: fried rice), hard food (for example: roti), non-vegetarian food and potatoes.
- Some patients do not have pain before food.
- They have urgency to defecate immediately after food. This is known as Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
- This is due to irregular toilet habits, stress, late night sleep etc.
- The treatment is different from peptic ulcer in this case.
- Yoga is the best to reduce tension and stress.
- Many good herbal drugs are there to empty the stool from intestine every morning. They are called as laxatives.
- Regarding ankle edema, it is the earliest sign of some future disease, hence this should not be ignored.
- You have to go for a heart check up and kidney function tests.
