Avatar f tn I noticed a cluster of bumps on the very back of my tongue. I only see them when i stick my tongue out very far. They are behind the "v" of papillae and just above the epiglottis (the thing that closes over the trachea. i dont know if thats the right term). Any ways, they dont hurt at all, but i just noticed them recently.... Anyone know what these are?
Avatar n tn Presence of fresh red blood in stools is known as haematochezia in medical terms and indicates a lower GI bleed like piles, rectal ulcers, fissures, fistulas etc. Rarely a few infections/ inflammations may also present with fresh blood in stools. I would suggest considering an evaluation by a gastroenterologist. After a cause is identified, it can be managed accordingly. Hope this helps. Take care!

Avatar f tn As soon as I swallow food some days my abdomen above my navel will feel like there is a big bubble of air or gas in it. Tolerable but yet discomforting. Flatulence and feel like passing a stool but not ready yet. Anyone who has gone through this and offer some great solid advice?
Avatar f tn I tried my best to eat healthy in my first trimester. Of course, I'm guilty fir some cravings. But what ever I eat, after some time, something rumbles on my stomach then I poo. I'm getting tired of this.
Avatar f tn Welcome to the gastroenterology community! What do you mean by "weight over a 150 pounds to boot"? Do you mean that she needs to loose 150 pounds to be at a normal weight? How long has this been going on for? Has she seen a doctor about this?
Avatar f tn Oral thrush is a fungal infection caused by the Candida yeast. Oral thrush causes patches to develop in the mouth and on the tongue. These patches usually have a white or off-white color and may have an unpleasant taste. Also, White tongue can be the result of an overgrowth and swelling of the finger-like projections (papillae) on the surface of your tongue.

Avatar f tn Sometimes there is a connnection with the cardiovascular system and digestion as digestion requires good blood/oxygen flow to aid digestion. And that increase for digestion may take away blood needed in other areas and causes a deficit at that site and also there may be less blood/oxygen for good digestion.

Avatar f tn Have noticed several times in the last two months when I wake and particularly if I have to speak on the phone soon after waking, that my tongue seems heavy and partially paralysed, which makes speaking quite laboured and slow. It is not the vocal cords but very definitely the tongue from which this speech issue is emanating. I am wondering if this may be a subtle advancement of past and ongoing symptoms/diagnoses! Read on!
Avatar n tn Also felt very unfocused and depressed, mouth was very dry, and my tongue felt weird with a white film beginning on it. Never in my life have I felt like that. Went to the doctor and told him of a sexual encounter but did not tell him it was a man and oral sex. He's a friend of the family and I am married with 3 kids. His diagnoses was that I had acid reflux. I thought given the recent sex, this was too coincindental and I had to have some STD.
Avatar n tn I have heard of a large loop of the bowel getting stuck in a similar type hole in the large diaphram muscles, higher up than the tummy, and in a hole larger than a hernia, which is very unusual, but digestion got stuck in the choked-off intestine there and they had to operate on that person. I think that hole came from a car wreck.
Avatar f tn Because human saliva contains many enzymes which, in addition to aiding in digestion, also are an extremely hostile environment for the fragile HIV virus and therefore it's not possible to get infected that way. Even if he bit his tongue or if your dental hygiene is poor. Therefore you had no risk of HIV from this event and you have no reason to worry.
Avatar f tn I have been through about 3 phases in this problem over the last couple months. (acid reflux, breathing issue, indigestion) Up until 2 months before my first Acid reflux and gerd symptoms, I had taken about 3 or 4 courses of Doxycycline for an unrelated issue. The last course was longer than the previous ones. 2 months after this course, I drank whiskey and ate crappy food one night and the next day had terrible pain in upper abdomen. After going to the doctor and them giving me PPI (prilosec).
Avatar f tn All the symptoms has pretty much gone except the digestion issue. He also has numbness in his arms when he lies down to go sleep. Hopefully everything will go away soon.
Avatar m tn It is not like I have to go restroom all the time, but whenever I do, I feel something is wrong with my digestion. I hear strange sounds in my stomach and I am not sure how to explain...I think my stool is too soft and this is continuing for weeks. My friends have told me that I am looking sick and tired and my doctor instead of diagnosing the issue, gave me some pills for blocking the acids in stomach.
Avatar n tn would any of the hpv viruses, high or low risk, affect the digestive system in anyway?
Avatar f tn ve been in meno full-blown for ovr a year now, but in the past two weeks my stomach, digestion the works, have been causing me terrible pain and distress. Severe, bloating, cramping, painful gas... nothing has changed in my diet, I'm vegan so no fatty foods, no dairy, not even coffee or sugar - so is it my crashing estrogen doing this again? Remedies?
