Digestive problems

2026-08-25 22:40:45
Hello Doctor, I have been having digestive issues for the past 1 year. I eat properly, but I feel that I am not gaining weight, and my weight has also been decreasing. My stools are often small, thin, and fragmented. Sometimes they appear like small pieces or grains. I also experience gas and bloating, especially after eating at the office. I was diagnosed with TB about 5 years ago. I would like to know what could be causing these symptoms and what tests or evaluation I may need.

One year of loose fragmented stools with weight loss should not be ignored, especially with your past TB. This can be irritable bowel with malabsorption, but we must first rule out celiac disease, giardia or parasitic infection, thyroid problem and any residual abdominal TB.

Common causes are irritable bowel syndrome, gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, chronic infection or malabsorption, and rarely reactivation of abdominal TB. I would suggest getting a CBC, ESR, thyroid profile, blood sugar, celiac screening (tTG-IgA), stool routine and an ultrasound of the abdomen done, and carry your old TB records to the visit. Meanwhile eat smaller frequent home-cooked meals, avoid too much tea, coffee and outside food, and keep a simple food diary. Please see a doctor sooner if you have blood in stools, night fevers and sweats, vomiting, or the weight loss is fast. You can book a consult with me on Practo (fee Rs 500) and we will go through your reports and plan treatment properly.

Weight loss with digestive symptoms need evaluation rather than assuming simple indigestion consult me with your previous TB history and reports so we can review the symptoms and decide which tests are actually needed.
