Question: It wil be great if Dr. Albana Sejdini answer my questions.
As you know one week back i was having diarrhea and pain . now from last 5 days i dont have diarrhea and stomach pain. now my questions are,
1) i have a fear that the during flue the blood in phlegm was a symbol of some big disease. (i never faced that again i check daily). whats your opinion about that?
2) now i dont have losse stool.but from a long time near about 2 years back i faced stomach upset. and doctor told me that i have IBS . After that my stoamch became more sensitive . means i can eat and having good appetite but still any day i can i have a lose stool. but its very rare i face two times a day. most of the time its only one time a day. my digestion was very strong 2 years back. is it possible that IBS start at some specific time of life. and that person never faced that before? means its possible that hiv fear cause a normal stomach upset to a long term IBS?
3) now i feel sometimes fullnes feelings sometimes sudden hunger feeling. i dont know how much time it will take to normalize . and i am taking only patozole which my doctor told me to take up to one month. my question is i have more yellow colored urine now. this tablet is also yellow color . is that could be a reason?

Hi back,
I am happy to know that you are not having diarrhea and pain anymore.
Please find below the answers to your questions:
1) I do not think there is a big issue behind blood in phlegm apart those related to severe inflammation of upper respiratory tract mucosa that has been lacerated during coughing and hyperacidity of the stomach during flu.
2) For this time, it was not IBS to my opinion, but due to stomach flu. Yes, it is true that one can face IBS sometime during life, but to confirm it, we should exclude all other organic issues of GI tract first.
For your information, IBS is not a disease itself and no changes in mucosa of GI tract is present in IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).
3) The symptoms you are having now: fullness and sudden hunger could be related to stomach issues. Try to have frequent meals with small portions. Try to have something to eat when you have hunger feeling. While, you can take antacid when you have a feeling of fullness. Simethicone with carbone can help.
Another thing that comes to my mind is candida overgrowth after using antibiotics (last time you told me that your doctor put on ciprofloxacin that could have altered GI flora with candida overgrowth as final results. Probiotics that you have used have helped somewhat; but, to my opinion, antifungal medication can be started (e.g. nystatin).
With regards to the color of your urine, can you please upload a photo of your urine so I can analyze its color myself. Pantoprazole can be a possible reason, and that's not worrisome.
Hope it answered to your questions!

Hi back,
1. If you want to make sure you have GI Candida overgrowth, can run a simple test: culture of stool for Candida. It will.need three days for the results to come, but will determine if you have Candida and what antifungal medicine to use.
2. In order to control gas, I recommend:
- avoid foods that would increase gas (potato, cauliflower, beans,)
- eat often, small portion and chew up slowly
- avoid using straw to drink
- take probiotics and simethicone to relieve gas
3. Urine color changes according to the concentration. It varies during the day as per intake and loss of water: the more you consume water the lighter its color.
Hope it answered to your questions.
