Gastroenterology

29. Male. 5'6". 74 kg. Currently on paliperidone 100 mg monthly injections since June 2024, aripiprazole 5 mg daily. I have been having symptoms like apathy, anhedonia, brain fog, irritability, impulsivity. I also get head pressure that occurs with these psychiatric problems. I don't remember how long I have been experiencing these symptoms, but possibly it would be 3-4 years In January 2024 in last year I ate chinese noodles wraps, milkshake as evening snack and walked daily for a month. At last day of this routine I had resolution of these symptoms one evening. This effect lasted 2 hours before complaints returned. Can chinese food spices cause gut bacteria to heal and effect psychiatric and physical symptoms? Is gut health related to psychiatric problems in any way? Can SIBO cause this symptoms? Can post acute COVID-19 syndrome cause this symptoms?

Hi, I delivered my baby boy on 26th January this year. I had started consuming a ferrous fumarate supplement of 300 mg in addition to my regular prenatal vitamins (that came to 327mg of iron per day) on my doctor's advice while I was 7 months pregnant. But after my delivery I continued to consume a total of 327mg of iron through my supplements for one and a half months approximately which caused me abdominal pain and diarrhea. I have presently stopped consuming all the supplements. My question is - Have I damaged my liver by unknowingly consuming such a high dose of iron every day even after I delivered my baby?

I wake up everyday burping and bloated with a sour taste in my mouth sometimes. I also have discomfort under left ribcage - some sort of contraction or movement. This has been there for 2 years. Doctor recommended endoscopy and biopsy for Hpylori... Which I'm a little sceptical, that without eliminating basics, why should I go for intrusive methods. Please help me to decide and with way forward.
