Do your digestive problems require diagnosis?

Everyone has digestive disorders, stomach pains and unpleasant digestive ailments. Sometimes these are one-off episodes that are nothing to worry about. However, we should be vigilant if our problems recur or are accompanied by additional general symptoms, such as weakness, decreased immunity or low-grade fever. The doctor who can help us find the source of digestive disorders is a gastroenterologist. Another way to monitor the health of your bowels is through stool tests. At Medonet Market, you can buy intestinal microflora mail-order tests that do not require leaving your home.

Consultation with a specialist should be considered especially when we experience persistent or recurring diarrhea for a long time, repeated bowel movements during the day, constipation, flatulence, loss of appetite, abdominal pain or mucus in the stool. Sudden weight loss also requires diagnostics, as well as observation blood in the stool. These symptoms may be associated with bowel disease. The first step to recognize or rule them out is to perform appropriate tests.

Intestinal diseases – detection of irritable bowel syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome is a troublesome and common disease of the digestive system. If we experience frequent abdominal pain (cramps, pressure), diarrhea, flatulence, sometimes also constipation and we observe an abnormal consistency of the stool (mushy, liquid with the presence of mucus), we may be dealing with this condition. In its course symptoms persist for a long time (over three months), and are also accompanied by weakness, difficulty concentrating, headaches.

Intestinal diseases – tests for Crohn’s disease

Crohn’s disease is an inflammation of the intestines, which is quite rare in Poland, but it should not be ruled out in the case of recurrent abdominal pain occurring with other digestive ailments. The disease usually appears in young people (aged 15–25), and sometimes as late as 60 years of age. Although the reasons for the development of Crohn’s disease are not known, there is a certain probability of developing Crohn’s disease mutation of the NOD2 gene. This means that the condition may be hereditary and it is worth getting tested if someone in your family has had inflammatory bowel disease.

Diagnosing Crohn’s disease is a complex process that may require imaging tests. The search for the source of the problems can start with laboratory tests:

Another chronic bowel disease that can be responsible for pain, bloating, bloody diarrhea, painful stool pressure, and other health problems is ulcerative colitis. The disease typically manifests itself in phases of symptom withdrawal and acute relapses. It most often manifests itself between the ages of 15 and 25, as is Leśniowski-Crohn’s disease. Ulcerative colitis has one more part in common with this disease, because it is more likely to manifest itself in people suffering from it.

In the face of food ailments after eating specific products (e.g. dairy products), but also when we cannot identify the problematic foods, it is recommended to consider testing for food intolerances, eg Lactose intolerance – LCT gene testing.
