Hello,
Thanks for your query on HCM
"As"per your clinical history is concerned please follow like this to confirm the diagnosis-
1)Do a clinical examination by your treating Doctor soon.
2)Do few investigations like this [
Complete blood count with differential,
Stool test for occult blood,
Colonoscopy with biopsy and a CT scan]
3)Treatment depends upon exact pathological findings of [colon] only
Do follow few lifestyle modifications like this -
1)Try to limit dairy products and if taken then take an enzyme product such as
Lactaid.
2)Try low-fat foods. Try avoiding butter, margarine, cream sauces and fried foods.
3)Limit fiber, if it's a problem food. If you have
inflammatory bowel disease, high-fiber foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains, may make your symptoms worse. If raw fruits and vegetables bother you, try steaming, baking or stewing them.
4)Avoid other problem foods. Spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeine etc
5)Eat small meals. You may find you feel better eating five or six small meals a day rather than two or three larger ones.
6)Try to drink plenty of fluids daily. Water is best. Alcohol and beverages that contain caffeine stimulate your intestines and can make
diarrhea worse, while carbonated drinks frequently produce gas.
7)Do take one
multivitamin regularly at bed time.
8)Try to quit smoking if you have these habits.
9)Try to manage stress and for it you can do deep breathing exercises and meditations.
Hope that helps
