Did you eat late sometimes. If yes, stop eating late. And eat bread at least once a day while treating the ulcer until it will be healed

Weight loss!

Weakness!

Recurrent constipation!

Belching

Forceful passage of stools

These are not signs you should be calm with, bro. I'm seriously hoping this isn't colon cancer. I'm sincerely hoping it's not!

I'll advise you to get the heck out of NL now and find a good hospital where reliable diagnosis can be made.

There's more to what you're having than just peptic ulcer. That's all I can tell you as a medical doctor!

Nairaland is not a hospital. Go get your diagnosis now preferably in a specialist hospital before things get worse.

An abdominal ultrasound scan would be a good starting point.

PS. I deliberately opened up on the worst possible diagnosis, so you can rise up and act fast. Whatever it turns out to be can be deadly if not treated on time.

Colon or stomach cancer was the first thing that came to my mind, especially with the weight loss. But he did not say anything about blood in stool thus ruling out colon cancer. Stomach cancer is usually misdiagnosed as ulcer until it becomes invasive. He needs to see a general surgeon, to do a colonoscopy and endoscopy immediately.

Exactly. His silence on blood in the stool is the only reason I'm hoping it's actually not. I was going to think gastric cancer, but early satiety isn't among his symptoms. That doesn't rule it out completely, though, as the possibilities are many until the right tests are done.

In any case, as you rightly said, he needs to see a general surgeon ASAP.

It started last June when i woked up early morning, i was very weak and tired i couldn't able to eat, so i waited for almost a week whether i will be okay but no improvement.

So i went to the hospital i was asked to conduct a test and the test came out as h.pylori that i have ulcer and indigestion problem .

The doctor recommended some drugs to me like Omeprazole, amoxicillin and Clarithromycin. After taking all the drugs i still feel the symptoms.

I went back to the hospital the doctor told me to take another test, i told the doctor that i don't have any money so they told me to increase the dosage of all the drugs.

After that still same thing, i dont what to do again. what's bothering me now it is the way i'm losing a lot of weight, people are asking if i'm sick i will just lie to them that I'm keeping fitness thats why/

I have taken alot of blood tonics and fruit's still my weight didn't improve any bit. I noticed anytime i eat or finished eat that is when the symptoms will wake up like i want to throwing up, increased in belching, infact i dey pooping like woman about ot give birth.

I always have to forced the poop out, abeg make una help me check weda some foods wey i dey eat dey make d symptoms worst like apple, watermelon, banana, chin-chin, indo-mie, biscuits,rice ,sometimes like semovita.

i don't eat hard food if i do dat means I'm looking for problem, abeg my people make una help me again d matter don tire me, i would have liked to go back to the hospital but i don't have any money now to conduct another tests.

i need an advise what to do infact excess of drinking alot of water do make me belches, anything i eat will trigger the symptoms, sometimes the thing go dey be like say fire dey inside my belle dey dance.
go and do HIV test first, if -ve, then I will tell you what to do, very simple.

Mine is that I'm having shortness of breath, tightness of chest and chest pain. I have done both ECG, x-ray and blood tests but doctors said that I'm okay biologically except that H.pyroly is positive which means I'm having ulcer. Please I want to ask if ulcer like peptic ulcers can cause all these symptoms .

You didn't say anything about your BP. What is BP readings and when was the last time you checked it?
Re: Pls Help A Brother. by Iykeabc(m): 8:26pm On Jul 11, 2023
What medication did you use for it
RawSex:
Same thing happened to me some months ago. Did all the test u stated above and some others yer nothing was found except for H.pyroly. and it was so serious as if I was suffering from a serious disease; I could not even breath well.

But now it's way better but not perfect
Re: Pls Help A Brother. by Iykeabc(m): 8:28pm On Jul 11, 2023
My BP is normal though it increases whenever I went to hospital to see a cardiologist because of phobia but it has never exceeded 140/80

Kai, when I read such stories, I get sad. Naija has failed a lot of folks. Money, money is the problem. People suffer, die for trival reasons.
Your case passes what a general practitioner should be handling. You doctor needs to refer you to atleast 2 consultants, eg a naphrologist, gastroenterologist etc. They are the ones that will recommend test you should do to investigate the cause of your illness and then offer solutions.
All boils down to money.
Omo, if you don't have rainy day saving in naija, you are good as dead.
Last time I was very ill, 3 consultants I was seeing was at 50k each per consultation in a "private hospital" , located in a "public hospital" owned by our current oga at the top.
Tests at clinics Medicare total gulped atleast 600k, still doing minor tests every 2 weeks just to check personal fitness. Medications nko? Forget that one. Just forget it if you don't have money. Monthly just on normal BP and few other regular med, I average over 50k monthly.
Anyway OP, I recommend you visit a public hospital eg lasuth and get a doctor to refer you to a consultant gastroenterologist. It wount cost you much. Just prepare to spend time there sha, because the crowd na die. You may be able to do some cheap tests also in lasuth. As per the drugs, God Is your strength.
NB. Guys avoid all those so called agbo, powders and other crap. If you consult with a naphrologist, the first thing they ask you is if you take such shit. They are the major course of kidney failure along with NSAIDS.

Currently going through this, though the weight loss is not much and no blood in stool. I have done endoscopy of which diagnosis, H.phlori associated, chronic, moderate active, gastritis just to put it the way the test came out. And my doctor is suggesting I go to teaching hospital, or go to another hospital were I'll see a specialist ..... really giving up on life already I have spent over a million for the past seven years treating ulcer.

I have suffered similar symptoms for good two years. I spent all I have on both English and Herbal drugs, no improvement.
I struggled to eat ordinary pap.

Please take raw onions. Morning and evening. This is what saved me. At least I can eat semo now. Though not totally gone but I am happy I can now eat some foods

Re: Pls Help A Brother. by Babalegba(m): 9:56pm On Jul 11, 2023
I had something similar to your condition sometimes ago.Probiotic supplements helped. Buy some live yoghurts and drink for a day or two. If you are unable to get live yoghurts then buy a one litre of Hollandier and drink it over two days.
If symptoms improve then probiotic imbalance is the problem and you'll need to take probiotic supplements.If you get any relief after taking the yoghurt then quote me and I'll direct you on how to go about things. Take the yoghurts first.Also read about pro biotics on the net.

If possibly it is Ulcer, please stay away from apples coz it is a bit acidic and ulcer doesn't go well with acidic foods like pineapple also
Re: Pls Help A Brother. by Green222: 10:22pm On Jul 11, 2023
I had the same issue in 2019, it was Agbo one alhaja mixed for me that saved my life. All th,ose antibiotics will worsen your situation. I took the Agbo and it purged me and my system became free. Infact, that woman was my savior then I would have died. Mine escalated I nearly underwent surgery for umblical hennia but just Agbo of 1k solved everything.

Meanwhile you can take Paraffin oil, it helped me then

I am not a medical doctor but what you described was pure ulcer symptoms. Take it serious cos it does some level of harm, real harm if left untreated.
Re: Pls Help A Brother. by elephant2017: 11:03pm On Jul 11, 2023
I feel for you bro. But your condition isn't beyond recuperation ONLY IF YOU ACT FAST.

1. STOP THOSE DRUGS NOW AND NEVER TAKE ANY BLOOD TONIC DUE TO THE IRON INSIDE.


2. AVOID FRUITS SUCH AS ORANGE,PINE APPLE,APPLE ETC


3. GO HERBAL. GET UNRIPPED PLANTAIN AND DICE IT INTO AN EVA BOTTLE PUT WATER AND ALLOW IT TO FERMEMNT LIKE 4 DAYS ,THEN DRINK 1 CUP MORNING AFTERNOON AND LAST THING AT NIGHT


4. U CAN BUY GABBAGE AND SLICE IT INTO SMALL PIECES THE AND EAT IT RAW AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE


4. DONT FORCE STOOL OUT AS THIS CAN DAMAGE YOUR *HEYNUS* INSTEAD DRINK WATER B4 EATING AND EAT SOFT FOODS



To be continued my eyes don heavy
