Gastrointestinal problems

2017-11-24 08:12:19
I am 60 year old male and I've been experiencing gastrointestinal problems for 6-7 years. Body intolerance for foods has reduced my diet to 3-4 food items, like curd, tomato, spinach, bread, other than which i cannot eat anything. Inspite of this super restricted diet, digestive system behaves abnormally. After every 2-3 days there is cramping, very uneasy feeling, weekness and diarrhea, seems like there is no end to this.

I dont know whether you have consulted any doctor or on any medication. From you symptoms it looks like bowel is erratic and frequency of stools.You need to be evaluated with endoscopy and colonoscopy to rule out malabsorbtion disorders or irritability in bowel.Kindly consult a gastroenterologist near by your town.
Next Steps
You will need further testing for intestine with endoscopy.
