I'm feeling really uncomfortable with my stomach lately. It feels bloated and sometimes acidic, and I just have this heavy feeling in my stomach. It seems like my motions aren't complete, and I have constant gastric issues. Also, whenever I press my stomach with my hands, I start to burp. What could be causing this, and should I be worried about it?

I'm really puzzled right now. I recently finished a course of Flagyl for what my gi doctor suspected was giardia since I was having diarrhea, stomach pains, and nausea. So today, I had a plain hamburger with some ketchup and cheetos, and my diarrhea came back for about 2 hours. I'm trying to figure out why this happened. Could it be something about the food I ate, or is there another issue I might be dealing with?

The return of diarrhea after eating could be related to the foods you ate or your bodys ongoing recovery from the giardiasis infection. Monitor your symptoms and adjust your diet accordingly. If symptoms dont improve or if they worsen, consider following up with your doctor to rule out any underlying issues or complications.

Patient is advised for laparoscopic cholecystectomy or open cholecystectomy procedure.
