I've been having this really sharp pain on the left side of my abdomen since yesterday, and its honestly freaking me out a bit. My CT scan today showed something about bowel thickening and pericolic fat stranding in the descending colon on the left iliac fossa. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what might cause this kind of issue usually and what the general treatment might be. Can anyone shed some light on this?

View allI'm really struggling with lax lesophagitis and pangastritis for the past decade, and I've been on PPIs for about the same amount of time. The side effects are becoming a bit too much to handle. Should I think about surgery as an option, or just stick it out with the PPIs?
Surgery may be an option for you if your symptoms are not well-controlled with PPIs and if you're experiencing intolerable side effects. However, continuing with medications and making lifestyle adjustments may also improve your condition

I'm a bit confused because the pharmacy gave me Sucrafil solution instead of the Sucrafil O gel solution that my doctor prescribed. Are they the same thing? Can I use the Sucrafil solution, or do I need to get the exact one my doctor mentioned? Just to give you a bit more context, here's what my prescription looks like: Rablet 20 mg before breakfast, Ganaton OD after breakfast, Rantac 150 after dinner, and the Sucrafil O gel solution before breakfast and dinner. Would love your advice on what to do next.
