What Causes Pain In Abdomen Along With Bad Odour From Body?
Hey, doctor. I have a question for a problem that plagues a couple of my family members. You know the smell of expired American cheese? Well, sometimes when my family leaves the bathroom, they leave that unusual and unpleasant stench. I m no expert, but it smells to me that something may be wrong with them internally. It may have something to do with their diet. They often take far too long in the bathroom and often complain about mild pain in their bellies. What do you think is the issue? Is it diet or something more? What level of concern should they be having?

hi... yes. Perhaps its the food that emanates a certain odour.. like cheese or garlic... spicy diet intake....perhaps your family member has flatulence and suffering from indigestion. any aluminium hydroxide/ magnesium hydroxide gel dosed twice a day can help get rid of flatulence. deworming with tab. albedazole 400mg one tablet..... the whole family needs to take the same medicine could help. If the pain in belly persists, an USG abdomen might help and they need to consult a gastroenterologist... rule out GERD... bowel disorders,,, any underlying co morbidity hypertension or diabetes to be rulrd out too
