A doctor has reviewed my full body diagnostic report and told me that I am suffering from Inflammatory Bowel Disease. I have also experienced weight loss, and I am unable to digest milk. Could you please advise me on what foods and drinks I should consume that are easier to digest and suitable for my condition?

Inflammatory Bowel Disease can affect digestion and nutrient absorption. You may be lactose intolerant, try switching to lactose free milk or curd. Small frequent meals, avoiding spicy/oily food, and high fibre diet can help. Please consult a gastroenterologist for a structured IBD management plan.
Dr. Hema Suggests...
Take a Fecal Calprotectin Test Test or Take a ALLERGY FOOD PANEL - FRUITS 1 (APPLE, BANANA, PEAR, PEACH, ORANGE, PINEAPPLE, MANGO) Test

View allPost a Goa trip from 22nd to 27th June, I suffered from gas and acidity. Initially, my stool was formed but gassy and disintegrated in water. Within a week, the gassiness of stool increased along with belching and heartburn. I took a course of Metrogyl for 5 days as prescribed, but it did not help much. By now, the stool had become watery. On 17th July, I again visited the doctor who prescribed medicines for gas, acidity, and stomach ulcers. After this one week course, I started feeling acidity and gas along with belching, though less than in early July. As of today, 5th August, my stool is still pasty, narrow, and sometimes contains mucus. I am unable to clear my stomach completely and have to apply a lot of force to pass just a little pasty stool. There is always a feeling that stool is staying near my rectum. Gas and acidity are under control with banana, buttermilk, and easy to digest foods. Stool routine test is normal. What could this be?

I have never had normal stools, they are always loose. Currently, I am experiencing mild abdominal pain and slight bloating. My stool test came back normal, but the local doctor could not help. What could be the cause, and what should I do?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
I am experiencing frequent bowel movements, sometimes 8 to 9 times a day during diarrhea, and even when not having diarrhea, 3 to 4 times a day with a little mucus in my stool. I have attached my LFT and blood reports for reference.
