Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have serious stomach pain and the last x-ray i did last week suggests that there is a blockage. The only thing my doctor prescribed was Lactulose. I have not tried it yet, but will soon. She did not tell me the cause of this recurring pain (for 2 years now). I am a bit frustrated. I need more information. What to eat what not to eat possibly... and I need to know if this is serious. All ultra sounds were normal... I don't understand.
Hello, Welcome to Healthcaremagic. Constipation is one of the major digestive tract symptom experienced by many in world. Just an Ultrasound is not enough to diagnose the cause of constipation for 2 years. You have take some other investigations to rule out Hypothyroidism, irritable bowel syndrome etc. Do check Thyroid hormone levels, Colonoscopy. If you are on medications for depression, seizure, these drugs may cause constipation. Increase your fluid intake. Change your lifestyle. Have plenty of fibre diet. Consult gastroenterologist for further investigations.
Take care.
