[|Human|] Hi Thank you for your time. I will be visiting my own doctor this week but thought it would be nice to get somewha of an idea on my problem.  On friay afternoon I ate a spicy meal that REALLY bothered my stomach, and my bowels.  On friday evening I went out for a few drinks. 20 minutes into the night, my abdomen was in extreme pain as well as it was bloated to a point where My stomach was potruding quite a bit. After 45 minutes, it slowly went away, but eventually came back as I started to drink my next drink...therefore I stopped.  Last night/......same problem. And as a note: by these points, I did make a few trips to the bathroom and was not in need to relieve myself any further. What may be the reasoning behind this? I assumed that the spicy food could have cause damage to my intestinal lining .... but Im not sure! Again, last night
[|AI|]  Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you to stop eating from outside if you do. Outside food might cause intestinal infections specially meiosis in some regions which might give rise to gaseous distension and pain abdomen. For this I would advise you for a routine stool test for ova and cyst, and treat it if positive. Next important advice would be to avoid alcoholic beverages, which might along with the spicy food cause trauma to the gastric and intestinal mucosa, apart from causing inflammation to the pancreas and liver giving rise to your symptoms. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for some routine investigations like a CBC, a blood sugar, blood urea, serum creatinine, serum uric acid, an LFT, a serum amylase and lipase, and an ultrasound of abdomen to see the status of intra-abdominal organs. In addition, I might refer you to a gastroenterologist for a possible endoscopic evaluation of your gastrointestinal tract to rule out the possibility of a peptic ulcer resulting from spicy food and alcohol intake. Some modification in your diet like more of roughage, enough liquids, avoidance of oily, fried, and fast food, and avoidance smoking if you do in addition to avoidance of alcohol would go a long way to help you out. Till then, you could go for a proton pump inhibitor along with an anti-spasmodic Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
