Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have started eating less food and am stressed from work. Within 50 days, I lost nine kilograms. Now I have mild abdominal pain and pain near my left hip sometimes. It feels like something crawling and sometimes mild pain. I am trying to eat more, but my weight has not improved. I burp a lot after I eat and hear sounds from my abdomen. I am concerned about my situation. I read about unintentional weight loss on the internet, which is a bit scary. Sometimes my stools are soft. Would you please suggest your views on this?

Answered by Dr. Albana Greca

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Having burping, stomach pain, and sounds from the abdomen suggest problems with your bowels affecting digestion.

I suggest you do a few laboratory tests to determine the right diagnosis.

  1. Abdominal ultrasound.
  2. Fecal analysis and culture.
  3. Examination of stool for ova or parasites.
  4. Urine analysis.
  5. Complete blood count.

Until you get the test reports, I advise you to take the following.

  1. Probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora.
  2. Simethicone syrup to ease bloating.
  3. Digestive enzyme syrup.
  4. Antacids to stabilize stomach pH.
  5. Have regular meals.

Please consult a specialist doctor, discuss with them and start taking the medications with their consent.

Once you get the test reports, you can send them to me for further analysis and support.

I hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.
