I have two to three bowel movements every morning First hard toilet followed by soft toilet It has been going on for two to three months Taking gas medicine helps sometimes

Male | 25

It appears that you may be suffering from irritable bowel syndrome or IBS. This means that you can shift between hard or soft stools without feeling bloated. The main reason behind IBS is unknown but stress and specific foods might set it off. To control your signs, try having balanced meals, doing exercises oftentimes a week as well as managing any stress that comes up in life. It would also help if you sought help by talking with a gastroenterologist about what more they would advise.

Hi doc i have been recebtly diagnosed for having gallstones but now im itching uncontrollably and i have dark urine is that of concern?

Female | 26

Feeling an intense itch and noticing dark-colored urine raises red flags if you have gallstones. The dark urine likely stems from bile flow blockage in the liver. Meanwhile, the persistent itching sensation may result from bile salts seeping into your skin. These distressing symptoms could signal underlying issues with your liver or bile ducts. It's crucial to promptly seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist.

im 17 years old, i have this stomach ache in the morning yesterday even right now. I try to eat and poop but still it hurts even also when im laying on bed and sitting down. how can i avoid this pain what should i do and dont?

Female | 17

There are a lot of things that can give someone a stomach ache - like eating too much, eating spicy food, or being nervous. Try eating smaller meals more often instead of three big ones. Keep away from spicy foods entirely and make sure to drink plenty of fluids every day. Don't lie down right after you eat something either. If the pain sticks around after doing all these things, go to a gastroenterologist for a check-up.

Hello , I have pain in my lower abdomen below my belly button and continues over my belly button and when I press my belly it hurts on the right side , I have COVID and I had some gastrointestinal symptoms could this be something more serious like appendicitis? I also have gas and burping

Male | 22

It's important to seek proper medical evaluation and treatment for your symptoms. Abdominal pain can be caused by appendicitis. And Covid 19 can also cause gastrointestinal symptoms. Inform your doctor about your symptoms, medical history, and covid19 status. Gas and burping alone are not specific to appendicitis.

Phele mujhe kafi din s fever aa rha tha ..check krvaya to usm typhoid aaya ...pr ab mujhe fever nhi hai to kya dbai Lena jrori hai

Female | 45

Typhoid causes high fever, weakness, stomach pain, and poor appetite. It comes from the bacteria, Salmonella typhi. Even though the fever's gone, you must finish antibiotics. This gets rid of bacteria fully and stops it from returning. So take medicine exactly as the doctor said.

From your symptom, you may have a GI infection. One can consult a gastroenterologist or any general physician to receive proper diagnosis and treatment. For now, ensure that you stay hydrated and avoid the spicy food. In case the symptoms aggravate, see a doctor quickly.

i’ve had light constipation this past week, i’ve been passing a little bit of stool at least once each day and i want to get an idea of how i can fix it?

Female | 17

You have mild constipation. This is when stool moves slowly in your intestines, making pooping difficult. Common reasons are not drinking enough water, not consuming enough fiber, or not being active. To fix this, drink more water. Eat fruits and vegetables. Move your body by walking or exercising regularly. Constipation makes bowel movements difficult. Mild cases can be alleviated with simple lifestyle changes.
