I'm Ajay Sharma from Gurgaon. For the last 15 days, I've been noticing black stools, but there's no abdominal pain. I'm a bit concerned about it. Could you please share what might be going on?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Black stool can be caused by various factors, including bleeding in the upper GI tract, iron supplements, or certain foods; given your symptom of black stool for 15 days without abdominal pain, it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions like ulcers, gastritis, or gastrointestinal bleeding;

View allI had my gallbladder removed recently and now I'm dealing with a lot of indigestion and stomach issues. I've heard bile salt supplements and choline might help but I'm not sure which ones to take or how much. Can you recommend specific types or brands that would work best for post-surgery digestion problems? Also, are there any side effects I should watch out for?

I'm having a bit of a worrying situation here. I had some serious gas troubles yesterday and took a Rantac 300mg tablet last night and again this morning. The gas issue seems sorted, but now I'm feeling a sharp pain under my right ribs whenever I take a deep breath. On top of that, my neck is hurting, and the pain under my ribs gets worse when I'm sitting or lying on my right side. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you may have irritation or inflammation in the area under your right ribs, possibly from acid reflux or a muscular issue. Since the pain worsens with breathing and movement, consider seeing a doctor to rule out any serious conditions like gallbladder or liver problems. Meanwhile, continue avoiding heavy meals, and take Rantac as prescribed.

Fatty liver grade 1 is a mild form of fatty liver disease where fat accumulates in the liver cells.
