Your symptoms suggest a possibility of functional bowel disorder (IBS), persistent gastritis/GERD, or post-infectious gut dysfunction, but greasy stools with significant weight loss also warrant evaluation for malabsorption and pancreatic disorders if not already investigated.
Next Steps
* Consult your gastroenterologist for further evaluation. * Consider stool routine & culture, stool fat examination, fecal calprotectin, pancreatic enzyme assessment (fecal elastase), celiac disease screening, CBC, LFT, RFT, thyroid profile, and vitamin B12/iron levels, if not already done. * If the globus sensation persists, an ENT examination and, if indicated, an upper GI evaluation should be considered.
Health Tips
* Maintain adequate hydration with ORS if stools are frequent. * Eat small, frequent, low-fat meals and avoid spicy, oily foods, alcohol, caffeine, and smoking. * Continue only the medications prescribed by your treating doctor and consider probiotics if recommended.
