I'm really concerned because I've been experiencing constant stomach irritation and this urge to go to the bathroom repeatedly, but it only results in passing a bit of mucus. This has been going on for the past two years, and I've noticed some slight weight loss over time. All my medical reports have come back normal, my hemoglobin levels are at 14, and CRP is at 1. There aren't any other issues with my body, but there's just a lot of acid in my stomach. I'm not sure what's going on, and I could really use some guidance on how to handle this. What should I do?

Avoid stress,consider calming activities, such as meditation, yoga etc...sleep with head raised position and have dinner at least 2 hours before sleep..take over pantaprazole 40 mg twice daily before food with above for 15 days....Consult nearest gastroenterologist

View allI'm experiencing this strange heaviness on the right side of my stomach, especially when I'm walking or running. It's there even when I'm sitting, but not as intense. I know I have a gastric issue with GERD, could it be related to that? I don't drink or smoke, and there's no pain, just this heavy feeling. Strangely, I have no issues on the left side. All my tests, like blood tests and the stomach ultrasound, are normal, they only found GERD with the endoscopy. I'm really stressed out thinking about what this could be. Is it a big deal? Would love some insight.
Symptoms you are experiencing are due to acid reflux from GERD. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) such as Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast. Additionally, you can take an antacid like Tums as needed for immediate relief. It is also important to avoid trigger foods that worsen your symptoms, such as spicy or acidic foods, and to practice stress-reducing activities like deep breathing exercises or yoga. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to follow up with your gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed what seems like blood in my stool, and it's kind of worrying me. There's no blood when I wipe, and I only see it under the stool after it's been in the toilet for a while, almost like it's coming from inside. It's bright red right around the stool, but then it changes to this orange-yellow color further out. Should I be concerned about this?
whether there is blood or not in the stool you can get stool for occult blood test.

I've been taking rabeprazole and domperidone for a year now because of my hiatal hernia, but I'm only 22. Is surgery a better option or will I have to stay on these meds forever? How long is it safe to keep taking them?
You’re young, and long-term PPI use can affect bone health, B12, and magnesium levels. If symptoms persist despite meds, consider surgery.
