Patient's question:
I have non-atrophic gastritis and am currently taking medication. I only have a bowel movement every two or three days. Is it because of the medication that I have a delayed bowel movement? Should I stop taking the medication or what should I do? My stool is green and very sticky. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Generally, medications will never cause changes in the characteristics and color of stool. It is recommended to have a stool examination at the hospital to rule out the possibility of bacterial infection. It is also advised to consume more coarse grains, such as sweet potatoes and corn.For patients with gastritis, in addition to timely treatment, it is important to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in daily life. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover more quickly from this condition.
