I've had this problem almost all of my life, no nausea or vomiting ever it seems like maybe a little swelling in the abdomen on the left side I think it's because I have a fatty liver it got worse last night after I ate salmon and drink the lemon juice from it I have not taken any treatment ever, and I have severe anxiety disorder along with depersonalization disorder
Brief Answer:
IBS
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
Noted the history of duration, fatty liver, not taken any treatment so far and have severe anxiety disorder and depersonalization disorder.
Hence your problems looks like IBS that is Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
I would advise the following investigations and treatment in a such a case:
Investigations:
*Routine blood investigations like Complete blood picture, blood sugar, urea, creatinine, liver function tests, thyroid function tests.
*Urine -routine and microscopy
*Stool: routine, microscopy, occult blood, culture and sensitivity.
*Ultrasonography of abdomen,
*Colonoscopy
All these investigations should be within normal limits for one to say you have IBS.
Medicines ::
You need to have a prescription of a Doctor, please discuss this with a Gastroenterologist to get a prescription. I would like to know which medicines have you taken in the past and in which dosage
Vit A and Vit D in therapeutic doses,
Multiviatamins ,
probiotics,
anxiolytics help a lot.
Remember the simple dictum in IBS : you have to undergo necessary investigations before you are labelled as a patient of IBS. Secondly IBS is easily treatable, controllable and within the ambit of your psychological set-up.
