My husband has been having pain in his back and bloating, nausea and gas. Sometimes when he eats nuts, he gets these symptoms but he only had a few nuts this morning but his back is hurting and he is nauseated and very fatigued. He is sleeping now. He also has diarrhea. He thinks he might have gallbladder problems. I am not sure but would appreciate your opinion.
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Pain in the abdomen radiating to back and bloating can be due to acute pancreatitis, gall stone disease, peptic ulcer disease or hepatitis. It would have been great had I examined your husband on my own. Do not worry. I would suggest you to ask him to- Have a soft, bland diet-Avoid oily, spicy food-Get an abdominal ultrasound done to look at the exact pathology-Get a complete blood count. Hemoglobin, Liver function test, amylase, lipase, urea, creatinine done-Stop smoking, stop alcohol- I would start tablet Pantoprazole. Your doctor can guide on the exact dosage. I would also suggest you to take your husband to a gastroenterologist. He/she can examine him and correlate clinically. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing your husbands good health.
