Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
Good evening.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
To recapitulate: Male/ 45 - recurrent stomach pains - O2H for 5 days and you get cured - Wants permanent cure...
To get a cure from any of the disease, one needs to get a perfect diagnosis. And this is possible only with proper investigations, clinical / Physical examination preferably by the General Surgeon / Surgical Gastroenterologist.
I would advise you the following:
- Clinical / Physical General and Abdominal examination by a Surgeon.
- I hope by this time you must have undergone the tests of blood, urine and stool; if not yet done then please get the tests done particularly to rule out diabetes / Stool: routine, microscopy, occult blood.
- Ultrasonography of the abdomen, which may not show every abnormality of the intestines but gives information about other organs, lymph nodes etc.
- Most important is the Colonoscopy.
-In addition get your water course / water purifier at home, office checked for possible contamination which may be one of the important causes of recurrent intestinal infections and infestations.
-Avoid outside foods and beverages, nothing else can be guaranteed other than the Home-made fresh food and boiled (for 20 minutes) and cooled water.
Once we get the correct diagnosis, the permanent cure is easy to achieve and you only have to maintain it.
I hope this answer helps you with the basics, to get the diagnosis and permanent cure. I also hope that you do not have too much of a stress or anxiety, which usually adds to such problems.
Please feel free to ask for any further relevant information or if you feel there is a gap-of-communication.
