Question

I've been having upper abdominal pain, trouble breathing and swallowing, and a sore throat for a while. Two years ago, I had a laparoscopy for appendicitis. Recently saw a gastroenterologist who mentioned lax cardia grade A reflux esophagitis but didn't explain much. What does this condition mean and how can I manage it?

It means your stomach acid is flowing back up; treat with lifestyle changes, PPIs, and avoiding late meals.

Question

I've noticed something odd with my stomach latelylike the left side is getting bigger than the right. During the day it's fine, but at night it feels like it's full of air and can be kind of noisy and annoying. And when I try to sleep, it's causing a really uncomfortable inner temperature increase, like my body's overheating and it makes me feel weak. Any idea what might be going on?

Question

I'm having some really bad backaches at night, and it feels like there's gas building up in my back. When I press certain spots on my back, the gas only seems to release through my mouth, which is really odd. It normally doesn't release otherwise and it's messing with my sleep. This all started happening after I had a C-section. What could be going on? Is there something I can do to fix it?

Question

I've noticed some blood in my stool over the past few days, which has me a bit worried. It started about three days ago, and while there's no pain, I'm concerned. What could be causing this?
