An upset stomach, heartburn or constipation: find the right page

The pages on this site for an upset stomach were spread out: across the long list of tools, the first-aid pages and the list for a baby or child. This page puts 72 of them on one list, sorted by what is going on. Pick one and it opens. Each line below is that page’s own description.

If you think someone’s life is in danger, call 911 now. This page is a list. It cannot feel a belly, and it cannot tell you how serious something is.

If someone may have swallowed something harmful, our poisoning page says when it is 911 and when it is Poison Help (1-800-222-1222, free at any hour). Chest pain is not always heartburn: our heartburn page says when chest pain is a 911 call because it could be a heart attack.

Something swallowed, a poisoning, or a reaction to a food, right now

The first-aid page lists every first-aid card on this site.

  • When it might be a poisoningA child got into the pills or the cleaner, a double dose or the wrong medicine, two products mixed, something in an eye, a swallowed button battery, a snake bite, bad food. Keeps nothing.
  • When it might be a severe allergic reactionA tight throat, a swollen tongue, hives all over or trouble breathing after a food, a sting or a medicine, yours or someone else’s; a first reaction; epinephrine you are afraid to use, or can’t afford; or a child with a serious allergy. Keeps nothing.
  • First aid: what do you see?One page to find the right first-aid page fast. Keeps nothing.

Diverticulitis: pouches in the colon, and pain low on the left

This page was written for adults; it says when the pain or bleeding cannot wait.

Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis or microscopic colitis: weeks of diarrhea, blood or cramps, or living with it

All three are kinds of inflammatory bowel disease, and all three pages say when it cannot wait. The first is for teens and adults, and for parents of a child with Crohn’s disease; the second, for adults with ulcerative colitis, the kind that stays in the large intestine; the third, for adults with microscopic colitis, the kind with watery diarrhea that only a microscope can show.

Short bowel syndrome: after surgery removes part of the small intestine, or when it cannot absorb enough

This page is for anyone, including parents of a baby or child; it says when to get help right away and when to call 911.

An ileostomy, a colostomy or another bowel ostomy: the stoma, the pouch and the skin, and when to get help

This page is for anyone who will have, or has had, ostomy surgery of the bowel, and the people who help them; it says which signs need help right away and when to call 911.

Belly pain after surgery, even years later, or a blocked, twisted or narrowed intestine: abdominal adhesions (scar tissue inside the belly), and anatomic problems of the lower GI tract (intussusception, volvulus, fistulas, rectal prolapse, and birth defects of the colon, rectum and anus)

Both pages are for anyone, and both say when to get medical help right away and when to call 911. The second, for anatomic problems of the lower GI tract, is also for the parent of a newborn or a young child, and for anyone with a fistula, a rectal prolapse or a twisted colon.

All three pages were written for adults and say when to call 911. The first is for any bleeding in the digestive tract; the second, for hemorrhoids, which NIDDK says are a common cause of bright red blood after a bowel movement but not the only one; the third, for proctitis, an inflamed rectum that can bring blood, mucus or pus and a constant urge to go, from IBD, infections, radiation or an ostomy.

Colon polyps, screening for colon cancer at 45, and getting ready for a colonoscopy, a flexible sigmoidoscopy, a virtual colonoscopy or a lower GI series (barium enema)

These pages were written for adults; they say when to call 911 or get care right away.

The liver: fatty liver, high liver enzymes, cirrhosis, swelling, yellow skin, too much iron or copper, getting ready for a liver biopsy, a liver transplant, or Alagille syndrome

All ten pages say when to call 911, and the first eight were written for adults. The first is for fat in the liver; the second, for a liver that is scarred; the third, for a liver the immune system attacks; the fourth, for the small bile ducts inside the liver; the fifth, for bile ducts inside and outside the liver that scar and narrow, often with ulcerative colitis; the sixth, for iron that builds up in the liver and the rest of the body, which often runs in families; the seventh, for copper that builds up in the liver, brain and eyes, which is inherited and needs lifelong treatment; the eighth, for getting ready for a liver biopsy; the ninth, for a liver transplant, from the evaluation and the waiting list to living with a new liver; the tenth, for Alagille syndrome, a rare genetic condition with too few small bile ducts that is usually found in a baby or young child and can also reach the heart and kidneys.

The pancreas: pancreatitis, severe pain in the upper belly that spreads to the back, or greasy stools and enzyme pills (EPI)

Both pages were written for adults. The first is for an inflamed pancreas, and says when to go to the emergency room and when to call 911; the second is for a pancreas that does not send enough enzymes to digest food, often after pancreatitis or with cystic fibrosis.

A stomach or intestines that move too slowly: gastroparesis, feeling full after a few bites, or intestinal pseudo-obstruction (belly pain, bloating and vomiting with nothing blocking the intestines)

Both pages say when to get a doctor’s help right away and when to call 911. The first, for gastroparesis, was written for adults; the second, for intestinal pseudo-obstruction, is for anyone, including the parent of a baby or child and the family of someone whose belly swells in the hospital after surgery.

Vomiting that comes in bouts, with weeks or months of feeling fine in between: cyclic vomiting syndrome

This page was written for adults, with parts for a child; it says when to get medical help right away and when to call 911.

  • Cyclic vomiting syndrome: the episodes, the phases, and what helpsFor anyone who keeps having bouts of severe nausea and vomiting that come and go, with weeks or months of feeling fine in between; for the parent of a child who does; and for anyone just told “it might be cyclic vomiting syndrome.” NIDDK says cyclic vomiting syndrome causes sudden, repeated episodes of severe nausea and vomiting that can last from a few hours to several days; that each episode tends to start at the same time of day and to be like the ones before; and that treatment depends on the phase. Keeps nothing.

Leaking stool, or not making it to the toilet in time: bowel control

This page was written for adults, with a part for a child older than 4; it says when it cannot wait and when to call 911.

A baby or child who is throwing up, has diarrhea (for a few days or for weeks), or is constipated, has reflux (spitting up in a baby; heartburn in a child or teen), Hirschsprung disease, biliary atresia (a baby still yellow after 3 weeks), or fatty liver

All eight were written about a baby, a child or a teen. The second is for diarrhea that has gone on for weeks. Hirschsprung disease is rare: most constipation in children is the common kind, on the third page. Biliary atresia, the seventh, is rare too: it is for a baby still yellow after 3 weeks of age, or with pale stools. The last is for fat in a child’s liver, which is usually silent.

I want to understand how digestion works: the parts, how food moves, and the words in my report

Written for anyone, and for the people looking after them. It explains how healthy digestion works; the groups above say what can go wrong.

Nausea in pregnancy, hepatitis, a fight with food, or a sick day with diabetes

These four are about something else, and each one has a part about feeling sick, eating, or keeping food down.

  • Morning sickness: when pregnancy nausea won’t let upFor anyone who is pregnant and feels sick, some of the day or all of it, and for the people looking after them. Keeps nothing.
  • When it’s hepatitisFor anyone who has hepatitis A, B or C, anyone who thinks they were exposed or wonders whether to be tested, and the people who live with them. Keeps nothing.
  • When eating has become a fightEating less and less, bingeing, purging, or afraid of food, or watching someone you love do it. Keeps nothing.
  • When blood sugar goes too low or too highSomeone with diabetes is shaky, sweaty, confused or has passed out; blood sugar is very high, or you are sick and can’t keep anything down; you have just been told you have diabetes; you are worn out by it; you can’t afford the insulin; or you are beside someone who has it. Keeps nothing.

Before you call or go in

These four are for anyone’s appointment, call or medicines. They were not made for the stomach.

  • Symptom diary: write it down, show your doctorWrite down what you notice when it happens, with your own number from 0 to 10. What you type is kept only in this browser.
  • Get ready for your appointmentTen minutes before you go: what has been happening, your medicines, your questions and what helps you, on one page to hand to your doctor, therapist or psychiatrist, with room to write down the plan. What you type is kept only in this browser.
  • Call script: know what you will say before you dialA phone call you keep putting off? Write who you are calling, the sentence that says what you want, what to have ready and what to ask. What you type is kept only in this browser.
  • My medicines: a list and a daily check“Did I already take it?” Write down what you take and when, tick each medicine as you take it, and the page keeps the time. What you type is kept only in this browser.

Good to know

What these pages are

  • All 72 were written with AI (Claude) for Scarlet Beast. No doctor, nurse or pharmacist has reviewed them.
  • The health guides pass on what named public sources say, such as the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Each guide names the sources it was built from.
  • Every line on this list is copied from the page it points to when this list is built. This list adds no health facts of its own.
  • Being on this list does not mean a thing is catching, or that it is serious. This list does not sort anything by how bad it is.
  • They are for the United States: the phone numbers and the offices are U.S. ones.

What this page can’t do

  • It is not medical advice. It cannot tell one stomach ache from another, or tell you whether to wait or to go in.
  • It does not have every subject. There is no page here yet for belly pain on its own.
  • Some of these pages were written about a baby or child, and some about adults. The names on the list say which.
  • It does not replace a doctor, nurse line, pharmacist or clinic. If something feels wrong to you, call them.
