Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I found out I have EoE about 5months ago and has been a struggle since! Before I found out I had this I had no stomach problems!! I ate food fine and drank fine!! They put me on liquid Budesonide twice a day for 2months!! They also put me on Omeprazole once a day for about 4 months!! I m not on any of the meds now. I stopped the Omeprazole about 2 weeks ago and the BUdesonide about 2 months ago! Now everytime I eat or drink something my left side of my abdomen up to my stomach a loud groan and rumble will take place for about 3 seconds!! It s really intense! Sometimes it stops in my stomach and other times it comes up into my mouth and I release a belch and I feel a lil relieve! But when I drink again the same process happens! Dosnt matter what I eat or drink same thing happens! I ve had 2 Endoscopys done!! The doc says my esophagus, stomach and upper dudeoum are fine!! He also tested me for celiac disease and that was negative!! After that I was still having problems. So I went to my primary doc and he did an abdominal X-Ray and everything looked fine but my poop was back up a little bit so he gave me Linzess!! I took that for a couple days and it cleaned me out!! But still that didn t help! So I went back to my primary doc and he ordered a CT scan and everything with that was normal!! after that I talked to my Gastro doc and he ordered a Gastric Emptying Scan and the came back normal!! I forgot to mention my doc tested my pancrease to see if it was producing the enzymes and it was fine!! I also had billiruben tested and that was normal!! This is interfering with my life and I m breaking down and really worried:( please help me!! Ps I m a 22 year old male!!
Hello dear I had gone through your question and I can understand your concern Looking at your history this could be due to any of these possibilities 1. Gastroenteritis due to infection 2.worm infestation 3. Indigestion or malabsorption 4. Irritable bowel syndrome
I see such patients in my clinic, after clinical examination and patient history of would advise them for a battery of tests like liver function tests or stool test for ova cyst or protozoa
you may require a course of antibiotics like ofloxacin with ornidazole under supervision of your doctor have plenty of fluids including ORS to counter dehydration take probiotics which will improve healthy germs in intestine have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables Wash your hands with antiseptic soap every time you eat hope this helps you please feel free to ask for more clarification I gladly answer you best wishes
