Suggest Medication For Burning Sensation In Stomach And Bloody Diarrhea
My father has had a burning sensationin his stomach all day that has doubled hime over a couple times. Along with this he says he can see what looks like a worm moving across his belly, he also has bloody diarhea. He has had a quad bypass 3 years ago. What should we be concerned about?
I understand your concern. It looks like a gastric ulcer. I suggest you to go to a gastrologist for a confirmation of the diagnoses. Meanwhile I suggest you to:
1) Use PPI medication such as Nexium.
2) Don't smoke.
3) Make changes to your diet, such as eating smaller, more frequent meals. 4) Avoid anti-inflammatory drugs such as Naproxen, Ibuprofen etc.
Hope this clarifies your concerns. Thank you for the query.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
