Suffering From Bloating, Abdominal Pain And Irregular Bowel Movements. Taking Ternbenefine. Gastritis? Suggest

Good morning. I have had some gas and bloating but not painful and no abdominal pain to speak of but have irregular bowel movements. Was taking ternbenefine for toenail fungus but stopped one month ago. Had cbc and all counts were normal except eosonophils are 672 ? Could this be gastritis which my primary diagnosed. I am seeing gi in one week. Also primary had given me 10 pills for healing of ulcers. Starts with a d but cant remember exact name and symptoms seemed very improved Had a few beers and some wine over the weekend which seemed to aggrivate it some.

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Elevated eosinophils usually indicate parasites. So maybe this is the reason of your bowels problem.
As your bowel problems are present for a long time now, some diagnostics and gastroenterologist consult. Your problem may be caused by stomach problem (if the pain is in the upper middle abdomen, appears after a meal), gallstones (upper right abdominal pain radiating to the back), chronic bowels infection, diverticulitis (lower left abdominal pain), large intestine diseases (blood in stool).
I suggest you to start with abdominal ultrasound and stool tests for parasites and bacterial infection. Colonoscopy and gastroscopy should be considered as a next step.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
