Patient's question:
I have had stomach pain symptoms since I was a child. The main symptoms are stomach pain and stomach bloating. About half a month ago, I often had bitter water in my mouth, and sometimes I had diarrhea. Before checking for stomach problems, can I eat?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of symptoms, it is more likely that there is a possibility of liver and gallbladder disease. If there is liver and gallbladder inflammation, it may cause abdominal pain and discomfort again, accompanied by symptoms such as bitter taste in the mouth, nausea, and vomiting. It is recommended that you go to the hospital to have an abdominal ultrasound, liver function tests, and possibly a barium meal examination of the digestive tract to identify the cause and provide timely symptomatic treatment. The above tests require fasting. It is recommended that you do not eat any food after 10 PM the night before the examination. It is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times.
