Suggest treatment for gastroparesis
Patient: I have a constant abdominal pain in the upper left quadrant right under the breast bone. It never goes away. I have multiple stomach issues but there is still a problem that is undiagnosed and I believe this pain is the source. When I eat and swallow I instantly feel a sensation in that area and will experience a bad odor from my rectum. If I am on an empty stomach that same area with the pain will sound like it is weezing at times like a bronchial breach but in the abdomen. Also it gurgles exclusively in that area of the pain when I am having stomach issues. I have been diagnosed with gastristis, esophagitis and a hiatal hernia but none of these conditions have been associated with that specific abdominal pain or the odor I experience when I eat and after meals. I started a fast to see if I can give the digestive system a break and reduce symptoms. I think I may be suffering from gastroparesis after research. Other than bentyl I am not on any other medication for my stomach but I am sick all the time from it. Odor issue is one of the main concerns I am trying to rid of. It all seems to be associated with the pain in the abdomen I can apply pressure in that area and increase the odor. Is that associated with gastroparesis haven t seen anything about odor? Doctor: consult gastroenterologist and get lower GI endoscopy done.Exact cause can be detected by such investigations.You might be having some infection in your GI tract because increased bacterial flora is usually the reason for bad odour which require treatment with ofloxacin 400mg BD 5 days.
