I've been having this issue for the last 45 days with these excessive and weird burps, and there's a small pain just below my ribs. I've been taking rabcer20 morning and night for the past couple of days before eating, and it provides some relief, but these burps are still happening. On the first day, I even threw up at night shortly after eating. Any idea what's going on? It also feels like there's a little gas bubble just below my ribs, and I can't sit comfortably, especially after meals or even just drinking water. There's also a lot of bloating, and my stomach feels really full and heavy right after eating or drinking. Could it be anything related to my appendicitis surgery that I had when I was 16? I'm 28 years old and male. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You may be experiencing symptoms of gastritis or acid reflux. I recommend you try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (brand name Gas-X) after meals to help relieve gas bloating. It's important to avoid spicy and acidic foods, as well as eating large meals close to bedtime. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm a female in my late teens and I've been having this weird thing lately, like for over a week now. My stomach's making all these gurgling sounds, and I've got some persistent digestive noises going on. On top of that, my hip area and lower back are feeling sore. I'm getting a bit worried about it. Do you think I should be concerned? Any idea what might be causing this?
-It sounds like you're dealing with a combination of digestive discomfort and muscle soreness. The stomach gurgling could be linked to digestion issues, while the soreness in your hips and lower back might be from posture or muscle strain. If it persists,

I'm really concerned about this report I got that mentions "fatty liver" and says something about "parenchymal echotexture is heterogeneous." Could you explain what these terms mean and if they're something I should be worried about? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it and just need a bit of clarity on how serious this might be.
The medical term "fatty liver and parenchymal echotexture is heterogeneous" indicates that your liver has accumulated excess fat and its tissue structure appears irregular and non-uniform on ultrasound imaging, which may suggest a condition like hepatic steatosis or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist to discuss the diagnosis, potential causes, and appropriate treatment plan.
