Leslee R. McElrath, MD's Expert Contributions
  • Will a pulmonary embolism go away on its own?

    Your body will likely absorb the blood clot over time, but if your doctor is talking about starting you on treatment, that’s more to prevent further blood clots from forming that could potentially become life-threatening.  Leslee R. McElrath, MD READ MORE

  • What can I do for chronic gas pain?

    Try a good quality probiotic to see if that helps with digestion. Remember to fully chew your food and eat slowly so you aren’t swallowing excess air.  Leslee R. McElrath, MD READ MORE

  • Can you drink fresh carrot juice on an empty stomach every day?

    I’m not a nutritionist, but I can’t think of any issues with drinking carrot juice on an empty stomach. Your body will tell you if it doesn’t like something, so watch for symptoms within 2-3 hours after drinking it.  Leslee R. McElrath, MD READ MORE

  • What to give son for gas pain?

    Gas-x works great. Changing diet will help prevent it from happening in the future. If this doesn’t work, then an assessment by a physician should be done.  Leslee R. McElrath, MD READ MORE

  • What foods should I avoid to lose some weight?

    Weight loss has to be a very individualized process to be successful. But if you want a simple answer: wheat. But not just bread, everything that has wheat. Check out the book Wheat Belly by Dr William Davis. Leslee R. McElrath, MD READ MORE

  • How can I treat diarrhea?

    Diarrhea going on for that long needs to be evaluated for a cause. Without figuring out why it’s happening, the treatment won’t be effective long-term.  Leslee R. McElrath, MD READ MORE

  • Why does my arm hurt for so long?

    That’s a difficult question to answer with having first doing an exam of your arm, because it depends on the actual location of the pain. But I agree that 6 months is a long time. Could be that the injury never fully healed or you’re doing things now that continue to aggravate the injury. I recommend that you follow up with a primary care physician to have it evaluated. Continue in great health.  Leslee R. McElrath, MD READ MORE

  • Can drinking more water help with digestion?

    That is correct. Eating slowly, chewing fully, and not overeating are also important for proper digestion.  Leslee R. McElrath, MD READ MORE
