Hello Doctor Rynne. How are you. My question today for you is about my son. He on medication for biopolar. Sometime he thinks parasite is in his digestive system. It a very real for him. I have brought him detox tea. He have went to the health food store . they took his money for stuff he brought to have a bowel movement. I told him if he had them, he would lose weight, couldnt keep food down? is that right or wrong?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Dear,
Welcome to HCM
The medications given for any psychiatrist disorder, like for a bipolar, has a propensity to cause acidity. Therefore a gastric upset is not uncommon.
An addition of long acting antacid like omeprazole can solve the problem.

welcome for further suggestions
