I'm really worried about my mom. She's 68 and has a celiac condition, and her ESR just came back at 61, which seems high to me. Her hemoglobin is 9.6 gm, and she's also undergoing treatment for CLD. I'm trying to figure out why her ESR is so elevated. Plus, she's developed these allergy-like pimples on her back and stomach. Could these issues be related? What could be causing this?

View allI've been experiencing a lot of burping and some mild headaches over the past six months. Occasionally, these symptoms seem to improve after I vomit. Is this something I should be concerned about or get checked out?
It sounds like you're dealing with frequent burping and mild headaches, which seem to improve after vomiting. This could be related to digestive issues like acid reflux or gastritis. Its best to consult a doctor for a more thorough evaluation and proper treatment.

My mom has severe burning in her rectum but no blood in her stools. We thought it might be piles, but the doctor recommended surgery. What could be the exact issue and is surgery really necessary? Are there any effective ointments or tablets that could help instead?
The burning sensation in the rectum, especially if it's not related to blood in the stool, could be due to several conditions besides hemorrhoids, including anal fissures, proctitis, or even infections. While hemorrhoid surgery is sometimes necessary, it's not always the first line of treatment and other options should be explored. Topical creams, ointments, and in some cases, oral medications can provide relief and may be sufficient to manage the symptoms without surgery
