I was wondering how we can really be sure that someone is free of abdominal tuberculosis after they've finished their ATT course. Is there a specific test that can accurately confirm it? I'm feeling a bit anxious about making sure the treatment has been successful.

View allI've been feeling this weird globus sensation and tightness in my throat for a while now, but it doesn't hurt or make it hard to swallow. I got an endoscopy done, and there was only some erosion in the stomach's fundus; everything else looked normal. I do have mild acidity, but no heartburn or difficulty swallowing. There's nothing unusual in my throat or lymph nodes either. My mom passed away from anaplastic carcinoma of the thyroid, and that seriously worries me. What could be causing this discomfort in my throat?

I've been having this issue where whenever I drink water, it seems to create gas in my stomach, and for a while afterward, I feel this heavy discomfort, almost like my stomach is full. Is this something I should be worried about? Is there something I can do to stop this from happening?
It sounds like you may be experiencing bloating or excess gas in your stomach after drinking water, which could be due to swallowing air (aerophagia) or sensitivity to certain temperature or mineral content in the water. Its advisable to drink water slowly and in smaller sips to minimize discomfort. If the issue persists, a consultation with a gastroenterologist may help identify any underlying conditions.
