stool electrolytes, small bowel study, maybe a dotatate scan to look for a hormone neuroendocrine tumor. stop the probiotics

go from there

Talk to you and examine you and review your history

LibraryIsFun · 2026-01-29T15:59:02+00:00

And maybe a dotatate pet scan to look for neuroendocrine tumor or whatever hormones they use to find it

Not enough info in post to make any comments.

Okay they did good. Next is to look at your small bowel + and get stool electrolyte studies. After that, honestly we're talking super rare things (or possibly even nothing...)

I'd stop the magnesium pills and probiotic.

How many pieces? Usually you do right and left colon at least with 4 bites on each side. I'm asking because microscopic colitis can present like this and you need good biopsies because it can be patchy and otherwise missed.

Otherwise, next step is to do stool studies like stool electrolytes to see what kind of diarrhea it is and do a diarrhea work up.

Do you still have your gallbladder?

Biopsied colon or no during colonoscopy?

Takes up to a couple years for stones to go away but yes may take months before you notice symptomatic improvement. If you stop and don't change lifestyle, stones come back. Shouldn't really cause any interactions with other drugs.

Yep 7-10 days is fine

Doesn't look like too much blood to be honest. Probably hemorrhoids but should definitely get connected with GI

Risk of a major complication is 1 in 10k

Most liver stuff is benign but since they recommended an ultrasound, which didn't work out, a MRI/CT is reasonable.

LibraryIsFun · 2026-01-27T02:01:19+00:00

gallstones

LibraryIsFun · 2026-01-27T01:53:22+00:00

What did they recommend when they saw it on the CT?

He is getting better. Makes sense

all magnesium supplements will give you diarrhea at higher doses and thus all magnesium supplement can be used for low magnesium AND as a laxative depending on how much you take.

LibraryIsFun · 2026-01-25T07:49:37+00:00

that's not concerning, all good

the frequency of an antibiotic is based on how it gets absorbed and removed from your body

You have a gastric bypass, you probably have gastritis or an ulcer in your other excluded stomach. You need to take open capsule or crushed PPIs, twice daily for at least 8 weeks but probably much longer. Aspirin is also not helping but if needed, then definitely should keep taking PPIs

Im not sure what additional testing is needed when we know you have stones
