I'm really struggling with some severe issues related to eating, swallowing, and drinking. Every time I swallow anything, it feels like it hits a mass underneath my bra line, and this causes a lot of back pain and discomfort. I had my gallbladder removed four years ago, and I also have a hemangioma growing outside my liver. I'm really worried about these symptoms and looking for some advice on what might be going on. Could this be related to my past surgeries or the hemangioma? What should I do?

To help with swallowing and discomfort, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole (20mg) once a day before breakfast to reduce stomach acid and alleviate any reflux symptoms. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (80mg) after meals to help with gas and bloating. It is important to stay hydrated, so make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm looking for some advice on treating a fatty liver, specifically grade 2. I've come across Tendomac tablets - do you know if they are effective for this condition? I'd really appreciate any guidance you could give me.

Tendomac tablet is not specifically related to treating fatty liver grade 2. For fatty liver grade 2, it is important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding alcohol. In terms of medication, Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is commonly prescribed to improve liver function and reduce liver enzyme levels.

It's not just in my headmy weight's really low and I can't seem to gain any. I've seen doctors and they say my reports are normal, but there's no relief. Is there something else I should be looking into?

I'm experiencing some weird stomach issues and I'm a bit concerned. I used to have a stomach ulcer, which is thankfully better now, but for the past few months, my stomach's been gurgling a lot. I also feel really full and get a ton of gas after eating. It's like I can actually feel the gas forming, and there's this constant growling sound in my stomach that only seems to go away when I have a full meal. It's at its worst when I'm hungry. On top of that, my stool has been green and soft most of the time. I used to take pantotab every morning for my ulcer, but I stopped because it was making me super drowsy. Any idea what's going on? I'm kinda worried.

Your symptoms of constant stomach gurgling, feeling full after eating, gas formation, and green, soft stools, especially after recovering from a stomach ulcer, may indicate issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), or gastroparesis, and the drowsiness you experienced from Pantoprazole (Pantotab) tablets may be a side effect, so it's essential to consult your gastroenterologist to discuss your symptoms,
