Stomach irritation, cramps, urge to toilet: Possible issue?
Hello doctor,
It has been more than a month. The problem started with gastric issues in my stomach. Then it started with some stomach irritation and cramps. And then gradually I felt like whenever I ate something I feel like going to toilet. I reported it to my GP and she said to take Pantaprazole which I took for two weeks but then the situation was not improving and I insisted then she wrote a stool test for me and in the report helicobacter antigen bacteria was detected. She then prescribed medicine Amoxicillin 1000 mg, Pantoprazole 40 mg, Clarithromycin 500 mg which I took for one week.
On the fifth day I felt like my body has no energy at all. Anyhow, I took the entire 7 days dose. Now it has been close to two weeks after completing the antibiotics, but even today I feel unbearable weakness in the morning after toilet. The weakness is so much that I lie down and the body starts shaking.
For medicines, as of now I am only taking probiotics and multivitamins. Though the frequency of the days when I feel the weakness is reduced but yes once or twice in a week I have it. And also when I am having food I feel like going toilet. Please suggest the best I can do in such situation.

I have some weird feelings on the opposite side of the ileostomy. Can IBD be the cause?
Hi doctor,
I am a 29-year-old male with a weight of 138.9 lbs and a height of 5 feet 6 inches. I went for a pain in my side. It turned out to be an abscess and internal infection. They ended up doing an ileostomy. Recently I started to have some weird feeling in my left side on and off on the opposite side of ileostomy. It is not a serious pain but it does not feel right. I have a general feeling of uneasiness and I am unable to describe it exactly. But I have a weird ache throughout my body on and off. I had a blood test two months back and it showed high WBC. Nine years back, I had an ulcer that got ruptured. Then I was diagnosed with IBD or Crohn's disease. I contacted the office of the GI doctor. But he is not available to see me until next week. Should I need to go to ER now? Do I need a CT scan? Is it safe to go to ER now with a mask? Is there a way to speak to a doctor who can get me to do a CT scan or colonoscopy to see what is going on by avoiding ER?
