what could this be?
A couple of months ago i started to experience excessive burping (Not necissarily after eating), diarrhea and a gurgly upset stomach. This last only a couple weeks and started a week before my period and ended near the end of it. In the last couple of weeks I started getting the excess gas again along with the diarrhea ( not all the time) the upset stomach that could range anywhere from pressure to gurgly or cramps. A couple of times i noticed it after eating dairy but thats not always the case. In addition to this i occassionally get very mild heartburn, headaches and a sore throat. It might be worth mentioning that over the last few days my tongue has felt swollen and dry ( it might also be good to mention i have a nervous habit to chew my tongue while i sleep so thats probably nothing)
I would really appreciate some insight into this
Thanks
Answers:
Thanks for your question worriedgirl. Of course there are numerous possible causes for such symptoms, including a variety of digestive problems (high-fiber foods, lactose etc), colon problems ranging from irritable bowel syndrome to ulcerative colitis, and also infections such as Giardia.
The thing to do is to have your primary care physician take a thorough history (including travel history) and perform a physical examination. Then he/she may order some lab tests / lactose test, fecal culture, and whatever examinations are needed. On the other hand, most such symptoms do not need extensive examinations and usually can be diagnosed with a careful history and physical examination.
Good luck!
