Hi,
Noted the complaints of weight loss of 8 kg in one year, gas formation, pain in abdomen and so on.
The probable causes can be some chronic problems like intestinal infection, tuberculosis, pancreas insufficiency.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult your Doctor for clinical evaluation, examination and relevant investigations which can be as follows:
Tests of blood in details like CBC, Widal for Typhoid, tests for tuberculosis, thyroid, liver and kidney functions.
Tests of stool and urine.
CT scan of abdomen.
Upper GI Endoscopy and Colonoscopy if indicated.
All these will lead to a proper diagnosis and thus possible for a proper management.
Till then avoid the foods and beverages that increase you problems.
Use boiled for 20 minutes and cooled water.
Avoid the foods that increase gas formation.
A course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics may help.
Also take treatment for intestinal worm infestation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant,
General Surgeon
