What Causes Abdominal Pain And Stripped Stomach Lining?

Hi, several weeks ago I had bad abdominal pain, I had been through some stress and my doctor said as a result the lining of my stomach had been stripped away. I took nexium for 6 days. I have had dirrohea a couple of times in the last two weeks but yesterday got really bad pains again the same as initially when he said about the lining on my stomach. I also had 4 bowel movements yesterday and when I wiped there was some blood, not in the stool just on the paper. Is this in relation to the same problem or could it be something else?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, I would advise you to stop eating from outside if you do. Out side food might cause intestinal infections specially amebiasis in some regions which might give rise to gaseous distension and pain abdomen on the right side due to collitis. For this I would advise you for a routine stool test for ova and cyst, and treat it if positive. Please carry on taking Nexium as before. In case some kind of infection comes out in the stool test, then further appropriate management could be done.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
