Question: Doctor/Sir,
I had heating senstion,weight loss, constipation and bloating in my abdomin and Doctor adviced me to take Blood test first Where only ESR was found 44 and later he decided for MRI CT scanning of abdomen, but nothing abnormal were found. Later after 1 months again I checked the blood report when ESR report was 6 . Tumar marker test is normal.
Now recently, I had taking Providac capsule and Pantodac tab where my stool became white with mucus . My body become hot very easily.
Does MRI ct scanning detect detail fault of Intestine?
What should be the problem and solution for this ?

Brief Answer:
Possible IBS? Responds to conservative measures .
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.
I understand your query and concern.
You probably seem to have Constipation dominated Irritable bowel syndrome-C/IBS.
For this MRI and CT scan are not the first line of investigations.
They cannot diagnose functional disorders of the intestine like IBS.
For this I advise you to have a complete stool examination plus Complete blood counts CBC.
ESR is not required initially.
Your problem will respond well to dietary intake of oatmeal daily for breakfast and bedtime.
This should be coupled with intake of 3-4 liters of water a day.
One spoon of Lactifiber powder taken in a glass of water at bedtime is needed in your case for 15 days.
Intake of fruits like apple and oranges daily is also advocated for your case.
90% cases respond to these measures in 3-4 weeks of time.
Drugs like lubiprostone/amitizia 8mcg per oral can be taken once a day for 5 days to have supplementary dramatic relief.This drug has to be taken only under strict medical prescription.
Providac and Pantodec can be discontinued at the moment for 2 weeks or so.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.

Dear Doctor,
Yes I had a Stool test twice The 1st one was showing color:Dark, RBC : 3 - 4 /hpf pus cell: 2-3/hpf, Reaction Acidic ph 5.0 and rest all nil. The 2nd one (Yesterday) was showing color:Brown, RBC : Nil pus cell: 2-3/hpf; Reaction Acidic ph 5.0 and rest all nil.
But i was on Ayurvedic medicine during both the test (does it make difference?).
The 1st Blood test 2 months before: Haemoglobin: 16.1 Total WBC count:7900 RBC count: 5.73 Platelet count :293000
The 2nd Blood test 2 weeks before: Haemoglobin: 15.6 Total WBC count:7700 RBC count: 5.47 Platelet count :280000
Now I feel Pain under my leg while walking too muchv and lips are looking pale.
Now just today i stopped taking Ayuvedic medicine (consisted: Spirulina, Kravyadi, Bell and amla juice)
Can i take Spirulina with providac capsule,Rifugut and Pantodec ? It,s having good supplement feel very energetic after having. Does it conflict with Probiotic and Pantodac ?
Also in the Stool i have seen many white tissue like coming 2 days before. What is that?
Brief Answer:
Stop Ayurvedic supplements.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.
I understand your concern.
I have gone through your stool reports.
You possibly seem to have stool for occult blood positive.
This should be initially presumed to be an anal or rectal source of bleed.
Initially antibiotics like Orni-O has to be taken twice a day for 3 days.
Following this I advise you to have a repeat stool test for Occult blood.
I advise you to stop all the ayurvedic medications and supplements.
Many of them have interactions with Pantodec and Providec.
White tissue could possibly be the degradation digestive products of the ayurvedic products.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
You can recover in 4-6 days completely.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.
Povidac is used for restoring the normal bacterial flora of the gut.
Pantodec is used for suppressing excess acid in the stomach.
Lactifiber is used for improving the stool output.
Refugat is an immune booster.
Add Multivitamin like Supradyn one tab daily for 60 days.
In take of cold foods like bowel of ice cream daily before bedtime can help to reduce the overall body temperature.
These drugs do not reduce inflammation and infection.
You can recover in 4-6 days.

Brief Answer:
This is possibly IBS.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.
I understand your concern.
As earlier said your symptoms are possibly related to IBS.
Due to differences in appetite,and digestion,there can be weight loss for sometime.
Immune disorder ,Acid reflux are unlikely possibilities in your case.They can be reasonably ruled out.
Regular physical exercise like Brisk walk for 20min a day for 5 days a week will help.
Intake of high protein food like milk,eggs and fish will help you to gain weight rapidly.
Thank you.

Dear Doctor,
I visited the Doctor where he changed the medication :
Normaxin tab : twice daily
Providac cap :twice daily
Panlipase 25000 : twice daily
lactifiber Isapgol husk granules
and Absolut suspension syrup: twice
What are benefits of these?
I feel relax and feeling of heat is no more. The Abdomen became soft, no pain but it is bloating still.
Secondly I feel slight weakness. Earlier I was having Spirulina tablet (during Ayurvedic treatment) as an Antioxidant where it was giving some boost in my body.
As an addition Can i take spirulina or will it suit with the above medicine? Any idea about spirulina with providac ?

Brief Answer:
If you were in my clinic, I would recommend the following
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.
I understand your concern.
If you were a patient in my clinic, I would strongly suggest stopping Normaxin .
Indigestion can be a side effect of this drug.
Yes all these medicines will absolutely work well to heal your intestine.
But they take sometime to have full effect.
Again, if I were the prescribing doctor, then I would recommend that you continue all drugs except normaxin for 3 months.
To gain weight I advise you to have oatmeal and pomegranate each day.
Also Protein X powder daily taken in milk will help you to have rapid weight gain.
Post your further queries if any.
