My spouse is experiencing painful abdominal cramps which lead to her needing to go to the bathroom. When she releases the gas, she has a few tiny stools followed by yellow, oily discharge. Is this potentially serious? What can I do for her? Thank you!
Hi! Good morning. If I were her doctor, after a clinical examination I would advise her for a routine stool test for ova and cyst and treat it if positive for meiosis. In addition, I would also advise her to avoid eating from outside if she does to avoid intestinal infections creeping in from outside. She had to add more of roughage and liquids in her diet and go for a regular routine exercise program. For the present, I would advise her for an anti-spasmodic along with a proton pump inhibitor 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.
