I'm a bit concerned because I've been taking rabeprazole and domperidone for a couple of months now, but I haven't really noticed a lot of relief. Lately, I've also started feeling this soreness at the back of my throat, like there's some food stuck or something, even though there's no pain or trouble swallowing. Is it possible that this could be related to H. Pylori, and is it known to be difficult to treat? I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.

Based on your WBC (White Blood Cell) count:

Normal WBC range: 4,000-11,000 cellsL Your WBC count: 12,100 cellsL (mildly elevated)

Elevated WBC count possible causes:

  1. Stress: Stress can cause a temporary increase in WBC count.
  2. Infection: Mild infections, like a cold or flu, can also cause elevated WBC.
  3. Inflammation: Yoga and pranayama are great, but intense physical activity can cause temporary inflammation, leading to elevated WBC.

Monitor and adjust:

  1. Repeat WBC test: After a few days to see if the count returns to normal.
  2. Manage stress: Continue yoga and pranayama, and consider additional stress-reducing techniques.
  3. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your body recover from stress and inflammation.

I've been dealing with ulcerative colitis since 2013, and I'm really struggling to find something that works. I've been on medication for the past three years but haven't seen any improvement. I even tried homeopathy for a year, but that didn't help either. Do you think Ayurveda might be able to cure this disease? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Ayurveda may offer complementary treatments to help manage Ulcerative Colitis (UC) symptoms, such as dietary changes, herbal remedies like triphala, and stress-reducing practices like yoga, but it's essential to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner

I've been having slight chest pain on both sides for about a month, along with flank pain, and now abdominal pain on both sides for 56 days. My ultrasound showed acalculous cholecystitis, pancreatitis, and a 3mm kidney stone on the right side. Endoscopy revealed gastritis too. Is there any way to treat cholecystitis without stones? I really don't want to go through surgery.

I've been dealing with piles for the past 3 months and it's been painful when I pass urine. I got a colonoscopy done and have the report do you think I need surgery for this?

It's important to consult with a healthcare professional (like a gastroenterologist or surgeon) for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan for your piles. While they can be managed with lifestyle changes and non-surgical treatments, surgery might be necessary in some cases. Painful urination could be related to other issues, so a consultation is crucial to determine the underlying cause and appropriate course of action.
