@Edda Thomasin it is crazy in the UK you can’t even get melatonin without a prescription and it’s incredibly hard to get, paracetamol (acetaminophen) is sold in packets of 16 max 2 in one transaction, same with other painkillers…
@@charlottehesketh9703 on the flip side, though, in the uk you can get sudafed in the normal supermarket, whereas in the US it isn't even on the shelves in drugstores. The US, imo, also has a much clearer drug information/labeling system than UK, but that's subjective.
ER doc here. I can attest that stomachache cases because of indigestion/heartburn are some of the most routine (non-emergency) complaints we get at the ER, but stomach ulcers are no joke; not only do they make stomachaches a common daily occurrence, but they run the risk of getting bacterial infections (specifically, _Helicobacter pylori_ infections, which Dr. Bernard alluded to earlier in the video). _H. pylori_ infections not only aggravate the pain caused by existing stomach ulcers, but if left untreated, can worsen it, making the inflammation of the stomach wall even worse, and in certain cases, result in a cancerous tumor growing in the stomach. The one proven treatment for such an infection is antibiotics (the specific course usually takes around 6 weeks to complete). As the case with JT's parents show, some people might not be aware of that fact and try to pin the blame on the ulcer entirely. Prematurely stopping the antibiotics while it hasn't entirely run it's course runs the risk of the bacteria not only surviving, but also developing antibiotic resistance against future treatment courses. Hot, spicy and sour foods can aggravate existing ulcers, and so does coffee (and to a lesser extent, tea). Skipping meals or erratic mealtimes are triggering factors for heartburn attacks. Overall, another excellent video by Dr. Bernard. And as always, take care, and be well.
Pharmacist here, the usual treatment for H pylori is triple therapy with amoxicillin, clarithromycin and a ppi for 14 days. Im not sure where youre getting this 6 week regimen but i dont think its first line.
“What is forgotten becomes new again” is such a profound yet apt thing that can apply to everything from history to medicine. It’s the human condition.
The parents were right, she experienced some rare side effects from an antibiotic. But that's the point where you change treatment or doctor, not throw the pills away and expect the problem to be solved
They literally poisoned their own daughter because they thought it was just "spicy food". The amount of absolute walnuts of human beings in this comment section are astounding. The doctor did change the treatment before the parents started blaming it on videogames, T.V and spicy food.
they would have done what you said if they had more medical common sense, and if the hospitals were cheaper in america. it's hard to go see a new doctor when it costs hundreds of dollars and when your neighbors do all sorts of home remedies which seems to be working(but not really)
Wow.... The story was going really good until you mentioned she ended up on dialysis..... Holy shit, I've been a dialysis nurse for years and that would break my heart to hear one of my patients has permanent kidney failure from eating too many antacids.... Thanks, Dr. Bernard for the video and your continued effort in educating so many people on health!
My husband is the youngest one in his dialysis clinic. Congenital issues, not even his fault. The toll it takes on his body is excruciating, and there's literally nobody I would wish it on (and I've wished nasty stuff on people, like I'm not at all a saint about it). Especially in the American healthcare clusterfuck.
@@frostincubus4045 as I understand it, something else. It was also exacerbated by some medical malpractice regarding kidney-metabolized pain medication. Honestly it's kind of a miracle he's still around.
Not just "something", but medicine. It shouldn't be legal to sell medicine and supplements as candy. It's just bound to lead to these tragic cases, like there are several on this channel already.

When I was in nursing school in the late '70s, a woman had had kidney surgery because of blockage. They removed a single stone the size of a very large peach pit with spurs growing out of it that made it look like a huge, beheaded bug. I have a history of kidney stones and 50% CRF (chronic renal failure); as much as those small stones hurt I can't begin to imagine the pain this woman experienced.
It’s usually the Calcium Oxalate stones that have that hallmark spiked appearance! Thank heavens no stones in over a decade now, but I went into the ER once as I thought I was passing ‘one,’ and the X-ray 🩻 lit up with just about a dozen stones, consisting of various sizes, pretty much split evenly bilaterally! 😓 Needless to say I was scheduled for a lithotripsy within days! Another time, I go to the ER and I was certain that I was passing a stone, come to find out it was diverticulitis! 😣 Best one yet to highlight my crap for luck, after 12 major bone and/or joint surgeries, at age 39 I had to advocate for myself that there was something more to it, and yeah, right-o, I end up seeing a rheum and get a Dx for a rare connective tissue disease! 🤕 That said, I can’t imagine the hell this young lady went through! Thanks for being a nurse, BTW, I know you don’t get thanked enough! ✌️
Today I looked in my refrigerator and found a homemade dessert I made over two weeks ago and ate some. Then I instantly heard this channel’s narration in my head like “A college student ate 2-week old brownies. This is what happened to her spleen.” and then I had anxiety and went back into the kitchen and threw them in the trash. I can’t understate the effect this channel has had on my everyday life 😭😂
Same! There have been so many times someone tried to convince me expired food is fine or homemade canned food is ok and this channel made me realize it's never worth the risk
@@marlenebean Don't get over-cautious about expiration dates! I have a relative who will toss out anything that's "expired," because she doesn't understand what the dates on the food actually mean. Only *baby formula* is legally mandated to have a regulated date -- the rest of food is dated early enough to have a wide margin of error, and often is dated not for safety concerns but for enjoyable texture/flavor/etc., meaning you can still eat it for a while after the "expiration" date (sometimes even years after! really depends on the food). As for homemade canned goods, you really need to know if the person who canned it knows what the hell they're doing. It's not "never worth the risk" -- home canning is one reasonable way to ensure long-term food storage. Heck, I learned some of the history of mankind's quest to preserve food... from playing a Minecraft mod called TerraFirmaCraft, which kinda walks you through early storage and preservation techniques, including stuff like making brine. There are several ways to make things safely at home, and it's good to be able to control the amount of extra ingredients (like preservatives) or know precisely what you're putting in your body. But you really need to learn how to do it right, because you're correct in that if you screw it up, you can end up with unexpected visitors like botulism.
I completely agree. I’ve even made myself throw up once or twice after something that could’ve been questionable. And I never take any sort of chance now.
This actually happened to me. The doctor said he had only seen two previous cases before mine. One was in a coma, and the other one died shortly after admittance. He did not know how I had come in under my own steam. My hypercalcimia caused cardiac symptoms and I was admitted to the cardiac unit. I was in real danger of cardiac arrest. I was lucky that it hadn't affected my kidneys. I was only hospitalized for two days while I was being flushed out and my electrolytes stabilized. Still, it took about a month for me to fully recover. Tums are Not candy!
Fatty foods, acidic foods and spicy foods can worsen the symptoms of an ulcer and trigger heartburn. Ulcers are related to Helicobacter pylori or NSAID use. The fact that doctors listened to her side effects and said “no those do sound really unpleasant, so try this instead as it might be better-“ was really helpful. Like, they were willing to work with the patient to find something that worked best for her…
If memory serves me well, the discovery that bacteria can cause stomach ulcers was made by two Australians who won the Nobel prize for doing so. This came too late for my dad who suffered peptic ulcers all his adult life. He first had one during WW2 and had been told it was caused by stress that he wasn't man enough to handle. I think that made such a negative impact on him that he rarely went to see a doctor even when he was too ill to stand.
Yes you’re right. I think one of the researchers swallowed a solution of the bacteria and contracted an ulcer to prove the cause was bacterial. Sorry about your dad, it’s such a shame how what he was told had such an impact and it was simply because doctors at the time didn’t know.
@@bexrayspex yeah he did. Barry Marshal (who everyone remembers) and Robbin Warren (who everyone forgets to credit) I did my PhD in the lab next to the Marshal lab at UWA and was there the day the news came through about his Nobel Prize. I didn’t believe it at first as I was told by one of the post docs well known for pranks and people I know don’t win Nobel Prizes. It was Barry Marshal who drank the culture. He said it was the worst thing he had ever drank. I have held his noble prize. It was passed around the tea room after he did a talk about his trip to Sweden for the ceremony.
Although this is a very extreme example, it illustrates why I think gummy medications aren’t that great - it’s fun to eat them and easy to take more than you should
You have to take a crap ton tho I feel like people eat them cause they think it’s a healthy candy or taking more means double the benefits to the body when it’s obviously not it’s just like that to go down better
So true I remember after surgery as a little kid I had to take banana flavoured antibiotic syrup, it was so good I was waiting for it every day. I’m sure if I was a more reckless child I would’ve broken into the fridge and tried to down it lol
I think the warnings on the label should be a lot bigger. Like cigarettes if you will. That way everyone will know they aren’t supposed to be eaten like candy. The vast majority of us are not eating more than the recommended dose
But...but it really isn't easy to take more than you should. It's labeled as medicine, you consume it as medicine so you keep your dose. How could an adult confuse medicine with candy?
Psychological reactions from antibiotics are absolutely real. I’ve experienced it myself and it was horrible. It could not have been anything else- just a couple hours after the first dose I felt completely out of control, like I was going crazy, sudden sobbing fits throughout the day- then 12 hours after my last dose I felt completely normal again. I immediately requested that antibiotic be listed as an allergy in my record and if I ever have to take it again I will need to take off of work and have full time babysitter for myself.
The thing that brings me joy is that I’ve been following for years, but he just seems to be getting progressively sassier and more sarcastic when he talks about the stupid shit that people do and say
Him inserting more & more memes into his educational videos doesn’t mean he’s getting more sassy/sarcastic about the shit people do, his goal isn’t to make fun of these case studies. He just knows his audience well.
I work in a store that sells supplements and every time someone thinks about taking too much of something, or what happens if I.....? I simply tell them about your channel. I then say "Presenting to the emergency room *with my index finger*" I then tell them that they'll instantly get what I'm doing and why I'm saying that if they watch your videos.
When I had h pylori (the infection that causes stomach ulcers) - my first symptoms were anxiety and depression. Apparently as so much serotonin is absorbed in the stomach, infections like that can reduce absorption. When I went on the antibiotics at first it got worse, then it got better weeks later.
This seems accurate. I developed some form of stomach ulcer from acetaminophen sensitivity and had deep feelings of dread and gloom. It's a very visceral type of feeling.
I think I experienced similar with my thyroid medication Tirosint 😬😬😬 which is taken in an empty stomach 😬😬😬😬 I stopped and it took a while but I'm doing alot better stomach and mind. Your comments very validating and I tested negative for H pylori so wasn't that.
I'm surprised Chubbyemu didn't mention that the calcium carbonate is very different from calcium citrate, which is actually what doctors recommend for bone health (instead of antacids).
Most people don't need to supplement with calcium. They are more than likely needing magnesium in their diet. Too much calcium can cause heart issues. Taking vitamin D is better because it allows the body to properly use the calcium it gets from healthy diet.
and it's Vitamin D deficiency that's prevalent, especially with people staying indoors due to technology. People eat lots of food with milk, yogurts and cheeses so you don't need more calcium in your diet.
@@adrianjtarrant because they’re wise enough to realize that doctors are human and make mistakes. Not all of them are perfect. They also only spend like 15 minutes with you so how are they excepted to explain and understand everything about you. Your health is your responsibility. Doing proper research helps.
@@Mikey_Anthony trying to properly explain your situation to your doctor (and not withholding information, voluntarily or not ) would be helpful in letting them understand more of what's going on
Having seen the semi-permeable water/sodium experiment about 5 times now, I’m getting a sense that Chubbyemu is either really proud of himself for conducting the experiment or he just finds it highly satisfying. Either way, I expect I’ll see it at least 5 more times next year. 😂
I think its just because he assumes its the first time people watch his video, and his way of explaining things is coherent to people who don't know shit about medicine.
Yep. Also, I have been on PPIs (acid reducing drugs) for years because I have severe GI disorders including Gastroparesis and Gastrointestinal Dysmotility, achalasia and many others… and they have saved my throat from becoming pre-cancerous or bleeding.

I took cipro 15 years ago and experienced toxic psychosis. I swear it altered me for life. I don't want to look at it that way, but it's hard to ignore one day you're cool and the next you're in this body that's totally neurotic and I had horrendous reflux and stomach pain. i went to therapy, did exercise, followed a strict diet, but I was sensitive to the smallest stressors. 2 years after cipro exposure I conceded to taking Paxil and it helped tremendously. I also needed glasses for far sightedness about the same time. I remember thinking things looked weird and went to an eye doctor. I'd always had 20/20 visiion.
I had a tumor that gave me hypercalcemia. 3 different ER doctors and an ENT ignored it and told me it was normal and I was anxious and exaggerating my symptoms. Had to advocate for insurance to pay for a specialist endocrinologist who actually did a proper scan on my neck and found it right away. Medicine sucks sometimes (the tumor is gone now)
I hate those doctors who act like they are doing their job but are just lazy and probably cheated on their medical exam. Sometimes people could meet a ton of doctors until there is one who actually isn’t lazy and knows what they’re doing. It’s just the worst when a doctor acts like you can walk it off. Just infuriates me
That happens alot in Canada so much so that I no longer trust doctors or hospitals. It's such a battle to get treatment from a doctor it's actually ridiculous. Doctors should face heavy fines for not doing their jobs properly.
@@tribulationisuponus9245 the real problem is that you live under the Trudeau dynasty in post Trump Canada. But hey, it's okay as long as it's democratic.
similar incident happened to my mom, i forgot about what exactly happened but long story short doctors knew what was wrong but prescribed my mom some medicine and told her to do some basic home treatments like a heating pad while she was vomiting stomach bile everyday. eventually the doctors did surgery and fixed the problem
this whole thing is so sad... her parents refused proper treatment, leading her to self-medicate without knowing the full ramifications. breaks my heart to see parents think they know better than actual medical doctors
Dude, she ate a bottle of medicine a day, that isn't "the full ramifications of self-medication" it's idiocy. If she walked off a fucking cliff after walking out of the hospital would you say "shame, she self-medicated herself all over those rocks, if only doctors were there to tell her she'd die from a 300ft fall."

@@artimus4198 very true! Biochemistry just doesn't usually capture people's imagination since in practise it's all just numbers and graphs, so it can get veery dry 😴
This whole story is so frustrating. The patient and her family sound infuriating. If you don't agree with your doctor, that is fine. But please seek a second (even third!) opinion instead of ignoring your doctors and doing whatever you believe is right. That is how things like this happen...
It's hard to convince people if they just dont know any better. Happened to me and nobody listened and as the patient started to decline rapidly they resorted to alternative medicine when the only route to take at this point is dialysis. Then the pandemic hit and it was just starting so getting professional help was even harder and sadly the patient died. She could have had a few more years if she just went urgently on dialysis. JT here had permament kidney damage so shes gonna take Dialysis for life and thats just harsh for a teen. The patient often doesnt know any better too so its up for grownups to guide their kids through these things and being dismissive of professional help can turn even the most not so serious medical problems severe enough to do permanent damage. Its a sad thing to see. Lifes harsh that way if you just let it do its thing and self help is a good idea and all but never think you know better than thr professionals.
I feel like it, but in relation to my parents and mental health. I was diagnosed with severe depression by a psychiatrist(with PhD, btw), and given a prescription on strong antidepressants, but they are "nah, it's not real, psychiatrists made myth about depression to sell costly pills, and lazy teens started using it as an explaination of their laziness. That's despite I literally cried every day because of incredibly strong feeling of helplessness and self-loathing. Now I bought medicine I was prescripted, and take them secretly, feeling how my brain slowly becomes more capable of feeling happy. That was time when I reallized that I can't fully rely on my parents' experience through my life. I hope, I will be way more grown-up person when I finish recovering from that depression
People with GERD can feel JT's sufferings.... I was treated for 1 year for GERD, still it didn't completely cured. I still suffer from Gastric and Acid Reflux and those times when food looked like poison to my eyes, I wish no one should ever go through such horror....
@@ifyoudisagreeyouarewrongyou speak like someone who has never had to deal with chronic pain. And if you have, you are unempathetic to an unreasonable degree. Even mild chronic pain sucks.

I have a similar problem. I get terrible heartburns and headaches when I eat certain foods, especially spicy ones. Though, I’m pretty careful with antacids. They are a sort of medicine after all. Also, I heard that taking antacids consistently can make the acid problems worse over time because the stomach makes more to compensate. Always read the instructions and dosage at the back of the bottle guys.
Same, heartburn sucks. Especially when your trying to sleep. I've noticed drinking lots of water typically alleviates the symptoms. I think it dilutes to acid.
PPI medications basically solve heartburn conditions, you should seek advice from a gastroenterologist instead of "dealing" with the problem yourself. Long term heartburn can cause esophagus & G.I. cancers (someone who used to suffer but has no symptoms thanks to medication)
I always read the instructions whenever i take otc meds, because it tells you how long you can take it. As for me, if my stomach acid still wack even after regularly taking antacid and fxing my diet for 3 days straight, I'll go to doctor so they can prescribed me with ppi (even tho i hate it so much lol). Thankfully now, i know how to stabilize my stomach acid whenever i have 'flare up'.
@@condor2279 Also makes me think of the Stephen Fry rant on Fry & Laurie "Of course too much water can kill you. Too much *anything* can kill you. That's precisely what 'too much' means, 'the point at which it is excessive'..."

I actually like the chalky texture of antacids and hate the gummy texture. I only use antacids when I have to and even though they are good tasting I still treat them as medicine. I had no idea they could be so dangerous if taken improperly though! The more you know.
Sample of the problem. Years of study in this area. Nah, their uninformed stupid theory is better than all the doctors training. They probably still think they were right.

I was just recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after ending up in the emergency room with DKA. I had no idea what was happening until they let me know it was DKA. From what I've seen there's very little education on DKA so I think it would be great if this channel covered it.
I second this; DKA is one of the more common medical emergencies out there, and a potentially life-threatening one at that too. P.S. Hope you’re doing well, OP. Take care.
I feel bad for her. As an end-stage renal patient myself who requires 12 hours of dialysis 7 days a week, I know how horrible it is being on it as you lose friends, family, and significant others because people are generally shallow.
No joke this video is so close to what happened to me and also lines up with the first time I saw your videos. I had a stomach infection and horrible stomach pains, I was going through a lot of antiacids to help. One early morning I took what was left in the tum container because it burned so bad. I didn't think there was that many left in the bottle, but I was chewing for awhile and my mouth was stuffed. I realized after swallowing it all that I had probably 10-15 tums. I instantly thought to Chubbyemu that new channel I started watching how going over the daily doses of regular things can be deadly. I quickly looked up calcium poisoning and realized with the amount I took it was split, either horrible diarrhea or horrible constipation, yeah I got the horrible diarrhea. It was really bad, I'll leave it at that.
Yeah I think from watching from chunbyemu I will never eat anything over the recommend amount especially since my body index is below average. Plus I'm a little health anxiety.
@Luis Alberto Pérez Nájera some people have no choice unfortunately. It depends on their condition. For many people though it is about diet. But for some no matter what they do they need medication.
Please read all the warnings, indications and instructions. Example, on my gummy vitamin bottle it states "Do not exceed recommended intake" which the directions state is to chew two gummies daily. If this woman ever wants to talk about her condition, we're here for her.
The Spicy food / depression thing in the beginning part is interesting. Maybe she had a chronic endorphin imbalance and was self medicating with spicy food. Beta-endorphin problems are linked with major depression problems. So it could be the ulcer caused her to stop "self medicating" and thus exposed the major depressive problem. I had a similar experience where getting sick after drinking an average of 5-10 Red Bulls a DAY and having to go cold turkey. That got me diagnosed with ADHD at 27, because I was no longer "self medicating" with caffeine to the extent I was.
I started getting panic attacks after a course of antibiotics to treat a cat bite, it lasted for a year where I lost 15 kilos, didn't leave home for weeks and barely showered due to depression and anxiety. Gut flora is very important, there is a thing called roemheld syndrome where gas accumulated in the stomach and esophagus irritates the vagus nerve causing palpitations, anxiety, cold sweats etc. A common cause of excessive gas is stomach flora affected by antibiotics.
@@stephw6046 i know the gummies arent, i was trying to imply the prescription she got for her stomach acid was a ppi, and thats why her mood soured. Once they stopped the doctor given meds is when she started recovering.
I wonder if she is on the kidney transplant list? Fun fact - when you get a kidney transplant they don’t remove either of your kidneys, but attach the new one onto a blood vessel. Also, they go in from the back- less stuff to move out of the way.

When people with no medical qualifications try and tell you what's best for them or their daughter must be the worst feeling ever for doctors, because you just know that they'll be back later when shit REALLY hits the fan...
Unfortunately there are enough bad doctors out there that sometimes you do have to make such decisions. If I had not stopped the doctor on call from giving my daughter a second dose of Reglan when she was hospitalized due to intractable vomiting (turns out she has Celiac and oral allergy syndrome), my daughter might not be alive today. I thought she had serotonin syndrome, the doctor on call said it was a 'panic attack'. The next morning, the resident assigned to her case said it was actually neuroleptic malignant syndrome. So I just have an MSc in biology and did not know the difference between serotonin syndrome and NMS (had never heard of it) - but I know my daughter and can tell the difference between a panic attack and and a severe adverse drug reaction.
@@rhyothemisprinceps1617 No disrespect, but I was talking about the good doctors that are out there.

For me, the word puking or phrase emptying your stomach doesn’t freak me out/trigger my phobia nearly as bad as the words throwing up or vomiting does. Puking or stomach emptying doesn’t sound nearly as gross or painful as throwing up or vomiting does to my mind.
Lessons learnt from CE videos: *Never eat gas station food *Sushi can be dangerous, throw it out after a day has passed *Don't eat a lot of gummy vitamins *Don't chug energy drinks or cough syrup *Don't eat old pasta
Wait, so let’s get this clear: 1: The parents and the daughter believed the doctor’s medicine was messing with her head, which could or could not be true, more likely than not true since when she stopped taking it the issue resolved itself 2: they believed the spicy food was primarily at fault. Fair enough, easy to come to that conclusion if you don’t trust the doctors HOWEVER, THE DAUGHTER CONTINUED TO EAT THE SPICY FOOD AFTERWARDS??!! The same thing they thought caused the problem in the first place?!?!
Honestly I'm not sure how this is confusing or even at all surprising. Children disagree with their parents all the time. And just because they follow something 'under their roof' doesn't mean they believe it, or with the same conviction as their parents.
yes, the spicy food can make the stomach feel normal... 1. it might chemically kill pain in the short term, when its at high concentration, but makes the problem worse in the long run 2. It settled her brain because she could attribute the burning to the spice rather than being worried about the ulcer/acid pain. it might be this ... the ulcer pain triggers uneven muscle activity, and the spice acting on all the stomach lining equalizes the muscles reaction ... relieving muscle cramp?

People need to realize how lucky they are to live in a place where urgent endoscopy with biopsy and even culture is possible. In where I live, it is so rare to get pyloric infection (I assume it was what he meant by the bacteria in the stomach) diagnosed and we just rely on acid inhibitors. I am happy chubbyemu is raising awareness of how bacterial infection commonly causes stomach ulcer and antibiotics (plural, literally multiple types of them) are necessary for complete recovery. Also I am wondering, are the parents regretting it? Or they still refuse to acknowledge that if they weren't so stubborn this could've been prevented?

We've all met people that want to talk about the vaccination and claim that they know all about it, with zero virology education. It feels like we're getting ever so closer to Idiocracy.
Agreed. It’s fine to have an opinion on something outside of your understanding but it’s scary to see how many people are so confident in their own unsubstantiated opinions when they have no reason to be (ie limited education or training)
@@tinyr101 That one for me is a little loaded. I agree but then I don't. I agree everybody should be allowed their opinions. As a US Army combat veteran I will literally fight to the death to protect that right. However, I believe every member of society has a duty to research their opinions. Especially ones that they vote on and just generally involve others. Things like the pandemic, the millions of lives lost through wars, and famine. It's ignorance and arrogance. Almost all of it preventable and all of it certainly tragic.
This is the reason why patient's honesty and obedience to the doctor is important. The faster we identified the disease, the cause behind it, the faster we can treat your body. Hiding your condition only makes it worse. Not only signs and symptoms, but as a doctor, they need to know your family history (clinical), your habits (what you eat, what are your activities and so on). Most of the disease can be diagnosed by anamnestic, before physical examination. That's why your honesty is important to the doctor.
100% agree, though I don't think the patient in this case was dishonest with the doctors (just to her parents about eating spicy food). By the time she got to the ER she was already delusional and not understanding what the doctors were asking her.
This a sad story but I couldnt help but die of laughter when they asked her the phrase about putting all your eggs in one basket and she responded with "I like Turtles" I nearly pissed myself. All jokes set aside its tragic she is now on Dialysis.
It's my first time visiting this place, but this is an informative channel that explains very kindly and accurately. Anything in excess is not good. Spicy food is in vogue these days and it's ruining people's intestines. Additionally, it was interesting to note that gut flora can affect mood. I also felt more empathy because I was not in a good mood. It's true that periodic upset stomachs make you feel depressed, but I'm still wondering if there's actually a connection.

ER doc here. I can attest that stomachache cases because of indigestion/heartburn are some of the most routine (non-emergency) complaints we get at the ER, but stomach ulcers are no joke; not only do they make stomachaches a common daily occurrence, but they run the risk of getting bacterial infections (specifically, _Helicobacter pylori_ infections, which Dr. Bernard alluded to earlier in the video).
_H. pylori_ infections not only aggravate the pain caused by existing stomach ulcers, but if left untreated, can worsen it, making the inflammation of the stomach wall even worse, and in certain cases, result in a cancerous tumor growing in the stomach.
The one proven treatment for such an infection is antibiotics (the specific course usually takes around 6 weeks to complete). As the case with JT's parents show, some people might not be aware of that fact and try to pin the blame on the ulcer entirely. Prematurely stopping the antibiotics while it hasn't entirely run it's course runs the risk of the bacteria not only surviving, but also developing antibiotic resistance against future treatment courses.
Hot, spicy and sour foods can aggravate existing ulcers, and so does coffee (and to a lesser extent, tea). Skipping meals or erratic mealtimes are triggering factors for heartburn attacks.
Overall, another excellent video by Dr. Bernard. And as always, take care, and be well.
i like your words magic man

When I was in nursing school in the late '70s, a woman had had kidney surgery because of blockage. They removed a single stone the size of a very large peach pit with spurs growing out of it that made it look like a huge, beheaded bug. I have a history of kidney stones and 50% CRF (chronic renal failure); as much as those small stones hurt I can't begin to imagine the pain this woman experienced.
It’s usually the Calcium Oxalate stones that have that hallmark spiked appearance! Thank heavens no stones in over a decade now, but I went into the ER once as I thought I was passing ‘one,’ and the X-ray 🩻 lit up with just about a dozen stones, consisting of various sizes, pretty much split evenly bilaterally! 😓 Needless to say I was scheduled for a lithotripsy within days! Another time, I go to the ER and I was certain that I was passing a stone, come to find out it was diverticulitis! 😣 Best one yet to highlight my crap for luck, after 12 major bone and/or joint surgeries, at age 39 I had to advocate for myself that there was something more to it, and yeah, right-o, I end up seeing a rheum and get a Dx for a rare connective tissue disease! 🤕 That said, I can’t imagine the hell this young lady went through! Thanks for being a nurse, BTW, I know you don’t get thanked enough! ✌️

Lmaoo
Same! There have been so many times someone tried to convince me expired food is fine or homemade canned food is ok and this channel made me realize it's never worth the risk
@@marlenebean Don't get over-cautious about expiration dates! I have a relative who will toss out anything that's "expired," because she doesn't understand what the dates on the food actually mean. Only *baby formula* is legally mandated to have a regulated date -- the rest of food is dated early enough to have a wide margin of error, and often is dated not for safety concerns but for enjoyable texture/flavor/etc., meaning you can still eat it for a while after the "expiration" date (sometimes even years after! really depends on the food).
As for homemade canned goods, you really need to know if the person who canned it knows what the hell they're doing. It's not "never worth the risk" -- home canning is one reasonable way to ensure long-term food storage. Heck, I learned some of the history of mankind's quest to preserve food... from playing a Minecraft mod called TerraFirmaCraft, which kinda walks you through early storage and preservation techniques, including stuff like making brine. There are several ways to make things safely at home, and it's good to be able to control the amount of extra ingredients (like preservatives) or know precisely what you're putting in your body. But you really need to learn how to do it right, because you're correct in that if you screw it up, you can end up with unexpected visitors like botulism.
@@Arkylie Cool. Did you learn about lard?
I completely agree. I’ve even made myself throw up once or twice after something that could’ve been questionable. And I never take any sort of chance now.
This actually happened to me. The doctor said he had only seen two previous cases before mine. One was in a coma, and the other one died shortly after admittance. He did not know how I had come in under my own steam. My hypercalcimia caused cardiac symptoms and I was admitted to the cardiac unit. I was in real danger of cardiac arrest. I was lucky that it hadn't affected my kidneys. I was only hospitalized for two days while I was being flushed out and my electrolytes stabilized. Still, it took about a month for me to fully recover. Tums are Not candy!

@@pinkharmonica1312 rebecca keeney was hospitalized 2 days, but took a month to fully recover.
Why did you eat tums for candy?
Fatty foods, acidic foods and spicy foods can worsen the symptoms of an ulcer and trigger heartburn. Ulcers are related to Helicobacter pylori or NSAID use. The fact that doctors listened to her side effects and said “no those do sound really unpleasant, so try this instead as it might be better-“ was really helpful. Like, they were willing to work with the patient to find something that worked best for her…
If memory serves me well, the discovery that bacteria can cause stomach ulcers was made by two Australians who won the Nobel prize for doing so. This came too late for my dad who suffered peptic ulcers all his adult life. He first had one during WW2 and had been told it was caused by stress that he wasn't man enough to handle. I think that made such a negative impact on him that he rarely went to see a doctor even when he was too ill to stand.
Yes you’re right. I think one of the researchers swallowed a solution of the bacteria and contracted an ulcer to prove the cause was bacterial. Sorry about your dad, it’s such a shame how what he was told had such an impact and it was simply because doctors at the time didn’t know.
Your dad was a trooper and those doctors were just trying to cover their own butts. I’m sorry he suffered so much.
@@bexrayspex yeah he did. Barry Marshal (who everyone remembers) and Robbin Warren (who everyone forgets to credit) I did my PhD in the lab next to the Marshal lab at UWA and was there the day the news came through about his Nobel Prize.

Although this is a very extreme example, it illustrates why I think gummy medications aren’t that great - it’s fun to eat them and easy to take more than you should
You have to take a crap ton tho I feel like people eat them cause they think it’s a healthy candy or taking more means double the benefits to the body when it’s obviously not it’s just like that to go down better
medicine shouldn't taste neither off-putting (if it can be avoided) nor especially tasty, you have a point there
So true I remember after surgery as a little kid I had to take banana flavoured antibiotic syrup, it was so good I was waiting for it every day. I’m sure if I was a more reckless child I would’ve broken into the fridge and tried to down it lol
I think the warnings on the label should be a lot bigger. Like cigarettes if you will. That way everyone will know they aren’t supposed to be eaten like candy. The vast majority of us are not eating more than the recommended dose
But...but it really isn't easy to take more than you should.
It's labeled as medicine, you consume it as medicine so you keep your dose. How could an adult confuse medicine with candy?
“Its just an entire pizza covered in hot cheetos” she thought

I ate a bag of flaming hot cheetos, My mouth regretted that for ages.
Psychological reactions from antibiotics are absolutely real. I’ve experienced it myself and it was horrible. It could not have been anything else- just a couple hours after the first dose I felt completely out of control, like I was going crazy, sudden sobbing fits throughout the day- then 12 hours after my last dose I felt completely normal again. I immediately requested that antibiotic be listed as an allergy in my record and if I ever have to take it again I will need to take off of work and have full time babysitter for myself.
My dad went through the same thing and it was really frightening. We had no idea it was a reaction he could have.

When I had h pylori (the infection that causes stomach ulcers) - my first symptoms were anxiety and depression. Apparently as so much serotonin is absorbed in the stomach, infections like that can reduce absorption. When I went on the antibiotics at first it got worse, then it got better weeks later.
This seems accurate. I developed some form of stomach ulcer from acetaminophen sensitivity and had deep feelings of dread and gloom. It's a very visceral type of feeling.

I'm surprised Chubbyemu didn't mention that the calcium carbonate is very different from calcium citrate, which is actually what doctors recommend for bone health (instead of antacids).
Most people don't need to supplement with calcium. They are more than likely needing magnesium in their diet. Too much calcium can cause heart issues. Taking vitamin D is better because it allows the body to properly use the calcium it gets from healthy diet.
and it's Vitamin D deficiency that's prevalent, especially with people staying indoors due to technology. People eat lots of food with milk, yogurts and cheeses so you don't need more calcium in your diet.
Just do what the doctor is recommending and if not working then get another opinion. Why does everyone want to do other peoples jobs

I took cipro 15 years ago and experienced toxic psychosis. I swear it altered me for life. I don't want to look at it that way, but it's hard to ignore one day you're cool and the next you're in this body that's totally neurotic and I had horrendous reflux and stomach pain. i went to therapy, did exercise, followed a strict diet, but I was sensitive to the smallest stressors. 2 years after cipro exposure I conceded to taking Paxil and it helped tremendously. I also needed glasses for far sightedness about the same time. I remember thinking things looked weird and went to an eye doctor. I'd always had 20/20 visiion.

Exactly!!!
It's hard to convince people if they just dont know any better. Happened to me and nobody listened and as the patient started to decline rapidly they resorted to alternative medicine when the only route to take at this point is dialysis. Then the pandemic hit and it was just starting so getting professional help was even harder and sadly the patient died. She could have had a few more years if she just went urgently on dialysis.
JT here had permament kidney damage so shes gonna take Dialysis for life and thats just harsh for a teen. The patient often doesnt know any better too so its up for grownups to guide their kids through these things and being dismissive of professional help can turn even the most not so serious medical problems severe enough to do permanent damage. Its a sad thing to see. Lifes harsh that way if you just let it do its thing and self help is a good idea and all but never think you know better than thr professionals.

I feel like it, but in relation to my parents and mental health. I was diagnosed with severe depression by a psychiatrist(with PhD, btw), and given a prescription on strong antidepressants, but they are "nah, it's not real, psychiatrists made myth about depression to sell costly pills, and lazy teens started using it as an explaination of their laziness. That's despite I literally cried every day because of incredibly strong feeling of helplessness and self-loathing.
Now I bought medicine I was prescripted, and take them secretly, feeling how my brain slowly becomes more capable of feeling happy.

Also, I heard that taking antacids consistently can make the acid problems worse over time because the stomach makes more to compensate. Always read the instructions and dosage at the back of the bottle guys.
Same, heartburn sucks. Especially when your trying to sleep. I've noticed drinking lots of water typically alleviates the symptoms. I think it dilutes to acid.
PPI medications basically solve heartburn conditions, you should seek advice from a gastroenterologist instead of "dealing" with the problem yourself. Long term heartburn can cause esophagus & G.I. cancers (someone who used to suffer but has no symptoms thanks to medication)
I always read the instructions whenever i take otc meds, because it tells you how long you can take it. As for me, if my stomach acid still wack even after regularly taking antacid and fxing my diet for 3 days straight, I'll go to doctor so they can prescribed me with ppi (even tho i hate it so much lol). Thankfully now, i know how to stabilize my stomach acid whenever i have 'flare up'.

I was just recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after ending up in the emergency room with DKA. I had no idea what was happening until they let me know it was DKA. From what I've seen there's very little education on DKA so I think it would be great if this channel covered it.
I second this; DKA is one of the more common medical emergencies out there, and a potentially life-threatening one at that too.
P.S. Hope you’re doing well, OP. Take care.

No joke this video is so close to what happened to me and also lines up with the first time I saw your videos. I had a stomach infection and horrible stomach pains, I was going through a lot of antiacids to help. One early morning I took what was left in the tum container because it burned so bad. I didn't think there was that many left in the bottle, but I was chewing for awhile and my mouth was stuffed. I realized after swallowing it all that I had probably 10-15 tums. I instantly thought to Chubbyemu that new channel I started watching how going over the daily doses of regular things can be deadly. I quickly looked up calcium poisoning and realized with the amount I took it was split, either horrible diarrhea or horrible constipation, yeah I got the horrible diarrhea. It was really bad, I'll leave it at that.
@Luis Alberto Pérez Nájera can you elaborate on this? thanks
Yeah I think from watching from chunbyemu I will never eat anything over the recommend amount especially since my body index is below average. Plus I'm a little health anxiety.
@Luis Alberto Pérez Nájera some people have no choice unfortunately. It depends on their condition. For many people though it is about diet. But for some no matter what they do they need medication.
Please read all the warnings, indications and instructions. Example, on my gummy vitamin bottle it states "Do not exceed recommended intake" which the directions state is to chew two gummies daily. If this woman ever wants to talk about her condition, we're here for her.
The Spicy food / depression thing in the beginning part is interesting. Maybe she had a chronic endorphin imbalance and was self medicating with spicy food. Beta-endorphin problems are linked with major depression problems.
So it could be the ulcer caused her to stop "self medicating" and thus exposed the major depressive problem. I had a similar experience where getting sick after drinking an average of 5-10 Red Bulls a DAY and having to go cold turkey. That got me diagnosed with ADHD at 27, because I was no longer "self medicating" with caffeine to the extent I was.
I think chronic pain , eg from stomach ulcer, is a trigger for depression.
Ive read in the comments a few times that PPIs (proton pump inhibitors?) Can cause a litany of side effects and mood effects.
I started getting panic attacks after a course of antibiotics to treat a cat bite, it lasted for a year where I lost 15 kilos, didn't leave home for weeks and barely showered due to depression and anxiety. Gut flora is very important, there is a thing called roemheld syndrome where gas accumulated in the stomach and esophagus irritates the vagus nerve causing palpitations, anxiety, cold sweats etc.
A common cause of excessive gas is stomach flora affected by antibiotics.
@@jaredschroeder7555 calcium gummies aren’t PPIs. An example of a PPI is Prilosec (omeprazole) or Nexium (esomeprazole).
@@stephw6046 i know the gummies arent, i was trying to imply the prescription she got for her stomach acid was a ppi, and thats why her mood soured. Once they stopped the doctor given meds is when she started recovering.

When people with no medical qualifications try and tell you what's best for them or their daughter must be the worst feeling ever for doctors, because you just know that they'll be back later when shit REALLY hits the fan...
Unfortunately there are enough bad doctors out there that sometimes you do have to make such decisions. If I had not stopped the doctor on call from giving my daughter a second dose of Reglan when she was hospitalized due to intractable vomiting (turns out she has Celiac and oral allergy syndrome), my daughter might not be alive today. I thought she had serotonin syndrome, the doctor on call said it was a 'panic attack'. The next morning, the resident assigned to her case said it was actually neuroleptic malignant syndrome. So I just have an MSc in biology and did not know the difference between serotonin syndrome and NMS (had never heard of it) - but I know my daughter and can tell the difference between a panic attack and and a severe adverse drug reaction.
@@rhyothemisprinceps1617 No disrespect, but I was talking about the good doctors that are out there. The bad doctors that got their qualification from a cereal box honestly don't care, they just want their money and for you to leave.

@@MistaGSpecialEducation alright i'll just eat 149 in one day
Yes
Wait, so let’s get this clear:
1: The parents and the daughter believed the doctor’s medicine was messing with her head, which could or could not be true, more likely than not true since when she stopped taking it the issue resolved itself
2: they believed the spicy food was primarily at fault. Fair enough, easy to come to that conclusion if you don’t trust the doctors
HOWEVER, THE DAUGHTER CONTINUED TO EAT THE SPICY FOOD AFTERWARDS??!! The same thing they thought caused the problem in the first place?!?!
Honestly I'm not sure how this is confusing or even at all surprising. Children disagree with their parents all the time. And just because they follow something 'under their roof' doesn't mean they believe it, or with the same conviction as their parents.
She thought the antacids were cancelling out the spicy somehow.
yes, the spicy food can make the stomach feel normal... 1. it might chemically kill pain in the short term, when its at high concentration, but makes the problem worse in the long run 2. It settled her brain because she could attribute the burning to the spice rather than being worried about the ulcer/acid pain. it might be this ... the ulcer pain triggers uneven muscle activity, and the spice acting on all the stomach lining equalizes the muscles reaction ... relieving muscle cramp?
I mean, she would have been relatively ok if she didn’t consume bottles of antacids, that’s the biggest problem here.
t[w]een brain do be like that.
I love people who think they know more then a person who's trained four years of their life and are a degreed expert in their field . I like everyone else hate condescending doctors , however I listened to the good ones because I know that THEY know more then me .

People need to realize how lucky they are to live in a place where urgent endoscopy with biopsy and even culture is possible. In where I live, it is so rare to get pyloric infection (I assume it was what he meant by the bacteria in the stomach) diagnosed and we just rely on acid inhibitors. I am happy chubbyemu is raising awareness of how bacterial infection commonly causes stomach ulcer and antibiotics (plural, literally multiple types of them) are necessary for complete recovery. Also I am wondering, are the parents regretting it? Or they still refuse to acknowledge that if they weren't so stubborn this could've been prevented?

"not able to make a full recovery" such a sad end to this, but kidney damage is no joke
This is the reason why patient's honesty and obedience to the doctor is important. The faster we identified the disease, the cause behind it, the faster we can treat your body.
Hiding your condition only makes it worse. Not only signs and symptoms, but as a doctor, they need to know your family history (clinical), your habits (what you eat, what are your activities and so on). Most of the disease can be diagnosed by anamnestic, before physical examination. That's why your honesty is important to the doctor.
100% agree, though I don't think the patient in this case was dishonest with the doctors (just to her parents about eating spicy food). By the time she got to the ER she was already delusional and not understanding what the doctors were asking her.
This a sad story but I couldnt help but die of laughter when they asked her the phrase about putting all your eggs in one basket and she responded with "I like Turtles" I nearly pissed myself. All jokes set aside its tragic she is now on Dialysis.
It's my first time visiting this place, but this is an informative channel that explains very kindly and accurately. Anything in excess is not good. Spicy food is in vogue these days and it's ruining people's intestines. Additionally, it was interesting to note that gut flora can affect mood. I also felt more empathy because I was not in a good mood. It's true that periodic upset stomachs make you feel depressed, but I'm still wondering if there's actually a connection.
