Can gastroparesis be treated with surgery in India? I've been losing a lot of weight, feeling malnourished, and dealing with constant bloating and belching. What options do I have?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

View allI've been having trouble swallowing for the past 6 months and tests like endoscopy, manometry, and barium swallow show I might have achalasia cardia. The doctor said no to surgery last week but I'm really struggling with this and starting to lose hope - what other options do I have for treatment?

I've been dealing with gas issues for the past three years, and it's been pretty uncomfortable. I keep burping a lot, and if I press on my stomach, more gas comes out. I've noticed mucus in my stool toosometimes it's like a yellow jelly, sometimes it's white, or sometimes there's nothing at all. On top of that, I experience mild stomach and abdominal pain and constipation. A few months back, it was this weird mix of loose stools and then suddenly hard stools. It's kind of normal now, but still, sometimes it's hard, and when I pass stool, I get even more gas and mild upper stomach pain. There's also some bloatingnot always after eating, but just randomly. And occasionally, with the yellow mucus, there's this long worm-like thing about 3 to 5 inches long. Any idea what might be going on with me? I'm getting a bit worried about it.
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of gastrointestinal issues such as gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or even a parasitic infection. To address these symptoms, I recommend the following: 1. For frequent burping and gas: You can try taking Simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg tablets as needed to help relieve gas and bloating. 2. For mucus in stool and abdominal pain: You can try a probiotic supplement like Align Probiotic Supplement to help restore the balance of good bacteria in your gut. 3. For constipation and irregular bowel movements: You can try a gentle laxative like MiraLAX (Polyethylene Glycol 3350) to help soften stools and promote regular bowel movements. 4. For possible parasitic infection: It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper testing and treatment with medications such as Albendazole or Mebendazole, if necessary. Please note that these recommendations are general in nature and it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm hoping for some advice on a couple of habits I've had since I was a kid. I've been eating slate pencil since I was in 4th grade, and now that I'm 23, I'm wondering if that's harmful. Also, every now and then, I find myself eating raw rice. Are there any risks with that? On top of all this, I've been dealing with a pretty severe problem of piles. Could these habits be making my condition worse? Would love to get some insights on this.
