I was wondering how we can really be sure that someone is free of abdominal tuberculosis after they've finished their ATT course. Is there a specific test that can accurately confirm it? I'm feeling a bit anxious about making sure the treatment has been successful.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my symptoms over the past few days. I started with a mild fever and took Combiflam to help me sleep. The next day, my fever got worse, so I switched to DOLO. On the third day, the fever was gone, but I began experiencing loose motions, so I took Norflox. By the fourth day, things seemed a little better, and the frequency of the motions reduced. Now, on the fifth day, the frequency is low, but my motions are still loose. Can you offer any advice on what I should do next?

I've had Crohn's disease for two years and now I'm dealing with vomiting and frequent bowel movements. Doctors say there are obstructions and I might need surgery. Can this be treated with medication or is surgery really necessary?
In Crohn's disease, vomiting, and frequent bowel movements, along with obstructions, can indicate a need for surgery, especially if medical treatment doesn't provide relief. While medications like anti-inflammatories, immunosuppressants, and biologics can help manage inflammation and symptoms, they might not fully resolve severe obstructions or complications like strictures or fistulas. Surgery may be necessary to remove damaged tissue, relieve blockages, or address complications like abscesses or perforations.

I've been experiencing some trouble after meals, like having dosa or just a simple meal. My stomach doesn't seem to digest it well, and my belly becomes really hard and heavy. It's making it difficult for me to focus on work, and I get really restless to the point where I just want to close my eyes and sleep. Sometimes it feels like the gas from my stomach is reaching my head. Ive started taking Liv 52 tablets, but I'm not seeing any improvement. I drink 3 liters of water daily, eat chappati and veggies, and even walk about a kilometer after meals, but the problems still there. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
You're experiencing persistent digestive discomfort, bloating, and fatigue despite a relatively healthy diet and lifestyle, and considering your symptoms, it's possible that you may have underlying issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), slow digestion, or gut sensitivity, so consider consulting a gastroenterologist for personalized guidance and potential testing, and in the meantime, you may want to try additional strategies like eating smaller, more frequent meals, incorporating digestive-friendly foods like ginger, yogurt, and fermented vegetables, and stress-reducing techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to help alleviate your symptoms.
