Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
You are reporting to have gastritis and bloating all the day.
Your symptoms may be related to:
- Gastrtiis
- gallbladder issues
-IBS (I need to know about your bowel movement)
I would like to know if you have done upper endoscopy and biopsy for H.Pylori.
If H.Pylori is positive than you should start antibiotics.
Otherwise you should do abdominal ultrasound to evaluate gallbladder.
Meantime you should avoid spicy foods and carbonated drinks.
Hope this was helpful to you

I do not know if it is gastritis, my doctor told the symptoms are for gastritis and I can do a endoscopy if I want to for further evaluation. I take ayurvedic laxative daily and I do go to toilet with that in morning but it is very discomforting and I feel there is a lot of gas and it is causing me discomfort. 10 days ago my doc kept me on Pan-D and simethicone for a month. I felt some comfort as I had severe abdominal pain. Now I do not have severe pain in abdomen. But I never feel flushed out even after going to the toilet. I have tried all laxatives,with which even I evacuate liquid stools but still the discomfort is still there.Hello I have my uploaded reports for CBC and CMP, and the doc said it is fine and I have done my breath test for H PYlori and I will get the result on Monday. Can you just confirm if CBC and CMP are fine.Also I want to ask can gastritis or ulcers happen by mild stress and anxiety ? Not like panic attacks but I do have some stress and anxiety issues.

Hi back,
I review your reports and your blood work is normal include CBC and CMP.
With regards to gastritis I would recommend to do upper endoscopy to better evaluate it.
You are asking if stress can cause ulcer and gastritis; yes stress is a cause of them and is an aggravated factor of gastritis and ulcer.

With regards to laxative use, it can cause abdominal bloating and gas as a side effect.
wish you all the best.

Hello Doctor,
I am not able to go to toilet, no matter what I eat. I have tried all laxatives in heavy doses but does not seem to work.They work in the sense that I just pass some liquid stools. My stomach has come out 4-5 inches. Its just gas. What do I do ? The medicines just do not work.I did not eat anything after lunch yesterday.I am afraid of eating anything now. I do not know what has happened to me.

Hello,I do not have any ulcer or gastritis.I got done my stomach x-ray. The doc said there is big chunk of waste accumulation in two corners of the large intestines and that as been the reason which has been making you uncomfortable. The H pylori test also showed no presence of the bacteria. The doc has given me amitiza for a week. And its working very well. He advised to drink lots of fluids and green veggies. Thanks

The fact that there is fecal accumulation in two corners of large intestine is indicative for IBS with constipation.
Amitizia is a good choice for you.Continue with healthy lifestyle.
