Question 1

I've been dealing with idiopathic slow transit constipation and IBS with constipation for over 10 years and I'm not sure if they're the same thing or different. My symptoms are constant bloating, indigestion, abdominal pain, and daily constipation. I've tried soaked raisins, drinking lots of water, eating fruits and vegetables, and even a low FODMAP diet, but nothing helps. I'm only able to pass stool with digital evacuation and it's affecting my work and stress levels. Is surgery an option for me at this point?

Accepted Answer

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

Question 2

I've been dealing with some stomach issues lately, feeling really heavy and having a lot of gas and acidity whenever I eat. It's making me feel tired all over, with weakness, fatigue, and headaches. Also, for the past 25 days, my legs have been feeling weak and fatigued, especially when I'm trying to sleep at night. It's been pretty tough on me, and I'm really hoping for some advice or support on what might be causing this and how I can feel better. What do you think could be going on and what should I do?

Question 3

I'm really struggling with lax lesophagitis and pangastritis for the past decade, and I've been on PPIs for about the same amount of time. The side effects are becoming a bit too much to handle. Should I think about surgery as an option, or just stick it out with the PPIs?

Accepted Answer

Surgery may be an option for you if your symptoms are not well-controlled with PPIs and if you're experiencing intolerable side effects. However, continuing with medications and making lifestyle adjustments may also improve your condition
