Respected Doctor, I have been experiencing gas and indigestion for the past two months, sometimes accompanied by nausea. I also notice white mucus in my stool, along with brain fog and anxiety. My recent blood tests show Hemoglobin is 11.9 (RBC count 4.31, previously 12.5 in October 2021 and 15 in August 2020 WBC count is 9800 (Neutrophils 59 percent, Lymphocytes 34 percent, Eosinophils 4 percent, Monocytes 3 percent) RDW is 16.3 Liver function tests are SGPT 28.2, SGOT 28, Bilirubin Direct 0.12, Indirect 0.2, Alkaline Phosphatase 88 I also have hypertension and am taking CTD T 6.25/40 in the morning and Met XL 25 at night. Additionally, I have been taking Pan D capsule for the past year on an empty stomach in the morning. My hemoglobin is gradually decreasing. Could you please advise what might be causing these symptoms and the drop in hemoglobin, and what further tests or treatment I may need?

Symptoms suggest possible gut dysbiosis or IBS. Consider stool test, B12, iron profile. Long term Pan D use may affect absorption.

I had vomiting and loose motion so my doctor said I have a stomach infection and advised me to get blood and urine reports. I am also having regular back pain and my mouth has a sour taste. I have attached my reports.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been having stomach ache for 1 to 2 years. My reports are normal. The pain is on the left side and is continuous.

Is paste like yellow stool common with IBS? No matter how much fiber I add or how much water I drink, the majority of my stool is like this. I eat apple, banana, and oats daily in the morning for fiber. I do not eat junk food, totally stopped for a year. Is this IBS? Also, if I drink milk or eat spicy food, I have observed smelly gas after that. Please guide. LFT, CBC, urine, and thyroid are all normal.
