ulcerative colitis

I would like to consult you about a matter that worried me for a long time, and I did not find any solution to it, as I had ulcerative colitis. Although this disease completely ended with surgical intervention more than 10 years ago, thank God, I still suffer from time to time from weakness and fatigue. Constant, lethargic…etc.

Therefore, I am thinking of taking vitamins as a dietary supplement, but I was confused about their many types and components.. So what would you advise me?

Other than that.. I complain about the presence of secretions from time to time that are not normal (as if they are excrement, may God bless you).

And, frankly, for a very long time, I did not do any tests or analyzes, and I hate visiting hospitals for any reason..

I did not visit any doctor to discuss this problem.. To be honest, it made me uncomfortable and embarrassed because of the unpleasant smell and sometimes it is heavy with a painful contraction in the abdomen that lasts for hours

And I still do not think of offering myself to any doctor and repeating a harsh experience of entering into the cycle of painful and embarrassing examinations.. and I do not know what to do??

But is it possible to do certain analyzes to find out at least the cause? And in which hospital in Riyadh?

I liked the presentation of the entire message to clarify the suffering that patients of this type may go through and also to clarify the neglect of the patient, which increases the severity of the disease with time. In many cases of severe ulcerative colitis, the results are good after removing the entire colon, but the surgeon may leave part of the The rectum is to be reconnected to the small intestine, and these cases may be subject to infections at the connection area leading to the symptoms mentioned above, and you may also have a recurrence of the disease around the same area, so it is preferable to consult a doctor specializing in diseases of the digestive system to do the necessary tests and examinations such as rays and binoculars to know What are the appropriate solutions and you are in good health?

Acidity

I have been complaining of stomach infections for almost 5 years and every day I feel heartburn and I had stomach germs and the symptoms I feel were vomiting – diarrhea – severe colic – fever – constant acidity, but after using the treatment for colic the symptoms eased and the acidity remained… and after about a month I came back The symptoms are the same, but after taking the treatment they disappeared and now I feel acidity. May I know what is the reason?
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is called chronic conditions, which often result from weak lower esophageal sphincter, which may result in a number of complications, the most important of which is esophagitis, especially for people over the age of forty.

There are also several factors that significantly contribute to the emergence or increase of this disease, the most important of which are:

1- Excess weight puts pressure on the stomach and diaphragm, opening the lower esophageal sphincter.

2- Eat large meals or rich in fat.

3- Having a history of the disease in the family.

4- Oral hernia, where a part of the stomach protrudes between the diaphragm and the esophageal sphincter into the rib cage.

5- Smoking weakens the sphincter and increases the production of stomach acid.

6- Pregnancy by putting pressure on the stomach and increasing the hormone progesterone, which relaxes the muscles.

7- Diabetes mellitus.

8- Peptic ulcer.

9- Drinking alcohol.

10- Some rare diseases, such as Zollinger-Ellison disease, which leads to stomach secretion of very high amounts of acid.

But in such a case when the questioner has a confusion between a group of symptoms, some of which are related to the stomach and the other to the colon, it is recommended to present the case to the doctor who specializes in digestive diseases to confirm the situation.

Intestinal insufficiency

I have a boy who suffers from intestinal insufficiency since he was born, and I have had more than one operation to remove some of the intestines, and only about 5 cm remains. Q. Is there a cure for that or an intestine transplant? I hope to respond in order to save my son from disability?
It is preferable to know the details of the main disease and the eradication operations that took place and their causes in order to know the appropriate treatment methods and the extent of the need, suitability and feasibility of the intestinal transplant operation, and it needs a joint opinion between gastroenterologists and surgeons for evaluation and opinion, knowing that this type of operation is not available to us in the Kingdom yet and is limited to certain centers globally.
