Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve been having pain in my lower left rib cage area (sometimes towards my back). Also, I noticed my bowel movements have been irregular. Most times after taking a OTC stool softer, etc. seems to help. Of course, after eating later .... it s been hard to move my bowels again.
Hi thanks for asking question. According to your complaint you are having functional bowel disease mainly... Here are few suggestions... Avoid excess fatty and heavy meals... Drink more water... Whole grain , wheat bran , apple like fiber containing food taken.. Red beetroots rich in fiber , potassium , magnesium.so maintain good healthy digestion. Cooked oatmeal good for digestion. Peaches Rich in fiber , vitamin c etc.so help in proper digestion. Omeprazole taken for two week if gastritis or ulcer suspected....
If still no benefit USG done.
Hope your concern solved.
