I've been having this weird burning feeling in my stomach a couple of hours after eating, right around where it would be digesting, and there's also this mild pain just above my belly button. I'm starting to worry a bit, could it be something like an ulcer?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The stomach burning and mild pain near the belly button area, occurring 2-3 hours after eating, could be indicative of various conditions, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, or duodenal ulcers, but it's also possible that it's related to digestion issues, food intolerance, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), so it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment plan.

I've been dealing with constant diarrhea for the last couple of days, and even though I'm taking loperamide and using O.R.S., it hasn't stopped. Should I be worried? Is there anything else I can do to help stop it?
Persistent diarrhea despite taking loperamide and ORS warrants further attention; consider consulting a gastroenterologist or a primary care physician to rule out underlying causes like bacterial or viral infections, food poisoning, or inflammatory bowel disease; they may prescribe additional medications, such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory agents, and recommend stool tests, blood work, or other diagnostic procedures to determine the underlying cause and develop an effective treatment plan.

My CT scan from 6 months ago showed a few tiny calculi and I'm diabetic. For the past 23 months, I've been dealing with bloating, acidity, and constipation. Is surgery something I should consider for this?
Mild GI symptoms and tiny renal calculi may not need surgery; a gastroenterologist can guide further with imaging and labs.
