I'm really concerned about my health lately. I've been experiencing stomach pain for the past two days and it's been getting worse whenever I pass gas. The pain seems to be focused on the left side. Along with that, I've noticed that I'm going to the bathroom to urinate way more frequently, like every 20 minutes, and I end up going about four times in that period. I'm not sure what's going on and it's starting to worry me. Could you help me understand what might be happening?

Based on your lab results, it appears that you have:
- Subclinical hypothyroidism: Elevated TSH levels (>4.5 UmL) with normal T3 and T4 levels.
- Possible Eltroxin (T4) dosage adjustment needed: Your current dosage might not be sufficient to maintain optimal TSH levels.
Treatment:
- Dosage adjustment: Your doctor may increase your Eltroxin dosage to achieve optimal TSH levels (typically between 0.5-4.5 UmL).
- TSH monitoring: Regular blood tests (every 6-8 weeks) to monitor TSH levels and adjust your dosage accordingly.
- Consider adding T3 (liothyronine): If your TSH levels remain elevated despite T4 dosage adjustments, your doctor might consider adding T3 to your treatment regimen.
Important:
- Do not adjust your dosage without consulting your doctor.
- Continue taking your current dosage until your doctor advises otherwise.
- Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to discuss your lab results and treatment plan.

View allI'm really concerned because I had loose motions this morning and took two tablets of Enteroquinol. The good news is that the loose motions seem to be under control, but now I'm dealing with a mild fever and just feeling really weak overall. I've mainly been eating eggs for lunch and oats with milk, flax seeds, and prunes for dinner. Is there any medication you think I should try? Also, are there specific foods I should avoid or focus on eating while I'm feeling like this? I'm just trying to get back to feeling better.

I've been dealing with black and bloody stools with mucus for about 10 days now, and it's really worrying me. I also get this dull pain in the middle of my stomach after meals and usually see the blood in my stool 2 to 3 hours after eating. I'm having 3 to 4 bowel movements a day with blood and mucus, and it's exhausting. Besides that, I feel really full, weak, and tired all the time, and even breathing seems a bit harder. I've already seen a doctor who prescribed me Enteroquinol and Revkzole, but it's been four days and there's no relief. Could this be something serious? Should I consider getting a second opinion, or maybe ask for more tests?

I'm having to go to the bathroom 4 to 5 times every morning, and it gets worse if I eat outside or have anything spicy, which then gives me a burning sensation. With plain homemade food, it's okay, except for still having to go several times. My doctor says I have IBS and mentioned its a disorder rather than a disease, and apparently it can't be cured. Can you guide me on this? Is there anything I can do to improve the situation?
It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a medication like Dicyclomine (Bentyl) 20mg before meals to help reduce the frequency of bowel movements and relieve abdominal cramping. Additionally, you can try a probiotic supplement like Align once daily to help regulate your gut flora and improve digestion. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet with plenty of fiber and stay hydrated. Avoiding trigger foods like spicy foods can also help reduce symptoms. Regular exercise and stress management techniques can also be beneficial in managing IBS symptoms.
