Question 1

I'm a bit worried because I had an endoscopy biopsy about 32 hours ago, and now the color of the pylo dry has turned pink. Should I be concerned about this change? Does it mean the biopsy might be positive?

Accepted Answer

yes

Question 2

I have this feeling like there's gas trapped in my throat. When I drink water, I burp for a second, but then nothing changes, and the gas is still stuck there. It's really uncomfortable, and I can't sleep or even lie down for long periods because of it. What can I do to get some relief?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or GERD. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Mucaine Gel or Gelusil Syrup to help relieve the gas and discomfort in your throat. You can take 1-2 tablets as needed, up to several times a day. Additionally, you can try taking an over-the-counter medication like omeprazole (Omez) once a day before breakfast to help reduce stomach acid production and alleviate your symptoms. Make sure to avoid lying down immediately after eating and try to elevate your head while sleeping to help prevent acid reflux. If your symptoms persist, it's important to consult with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I've been experiencing severe pain around my knee for a while now, and it's really been bothering me. I think it might be related to gas in my stomach because after it passes, the pain seems to go away. But it's strange because it takes about 45 days for it to fully pass. Is there something I can do to help relieve the gas faster or ease the knee pain in the meantime? I'm really curious about why this is happening and if it's something I should be worried about.

try eating several small meals instead of three large ones whenever you can...Avoid foods that irritate your stomach, especially those that are spicy, acidic, fried or fatty... avoid coffee,tea etc... Avoid Stress as it may make your gastritis symptoms worse...consider calming activities, such as meditation, yoga etc...sleep with head raised position and have dinner at least 2 hours before sleep..take over the counter medications with above...consult physician if symptoms persists...for knee pain take over the counter pain killers and do quadriceps strengthening exercises and Consult nearest orthopedic surgeon they will do the needfu

Kindly continue the same medicine given by gastroenterologist for one more week if it is still not reduced kindly consult your respective gastroenterologist.
