What Is The Treatment For Inflammatory Bowel Disease?

Hi doctor I have imflamatory bowel disease. My husband is convinced that it caused by the constant use of my laptop in bed on top of my stomach. Please can you confirm if a laptop can cause any damage to my intestines. My husband is also convinced that laptop use is the cause of my flares. I am self employed and lead a busy life which often means I work in bed at night with my laptop on my stomach.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of using laptop on stomach at night to work on. You also have inflammatory bowel disease and your husband feel that this is due to laptop being kept on the stomach at night.
Well, keeping laptop on the abdomen is absolutely wrong as it heats up may a times and can give many such actions and reactions that are beyond imagination as it does cause increased heating on the bottom part and can be very dangerous. Can cause burns and is a known thing that occurs.
Hence first of all stop putting the laptop on the Abdomen.
Get investigated by colonoscopy, examination of stool, blood and related things to get the exact diagnosis and hence you van get started on a proper treatment and better life.
