You might see blood mixed with stool or blood at the end of passage of stool and even dark or black stools. Bright red blood usually indicates bleeding that's low in either colon, rectum or anus. Dark red or maroon blood indicates bleeding that's higher in the colon or small intestine. Dark stools indicate that bleeding from stomach most probably an ulcer. Sometimes, you may observe loose stools mixed with streaks of blood which is seen in infections like dysentry.

View allI've been dealing with gastritis for a few months now, and I got diagnosed with LAX LES GERD and H. pylori after an endoscopy. I completed the triple antibiotic treatment for H.pylori, but I'm not sure if it's fully gone. I'm still on acid blockers and antacids because my symptoms aren't getting much better. My stomach always feels bloated, and there's a burning sensation from the ribs down to the belly button, plus some discomfort when it comes to bowel movements. I've looked into allopathic treatments, but it seems like everything is about acid blockers, antibiotics, and lifestyle changes. I'm curious if there's a way to treat this with Ayurveda or if there's any proven method to really cure it. Any advice?
It's good that you have completed the triple antibiotic treatment for H. pylori eradication. Since you are still experiencing symptoms of gastritis and GERD, you can consider trying Ayurvedic treatment. It's important to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized treatment plan based on your specific symptoms and body constitution. Ayurveda focuses on treating the root cause of the disease and aims for long-term relief. Make sure to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle as advised by the Ayurvedic practitioner for better results.

I'm experiencing pain just below my right ribs since yesterday. It gets worse when I breathe, laugh, or change positions while sleeping. I'm really concerned about what might be causing this. Could you please help me understand what it could be?
Hello, it sounds like you may be experiencing pain in your right ribs. This could be due to a muscle strain or inflammation of the rib cartilage. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
