Question 1

For a couple of years now, I've been dealing with having to go to the toilet about 5 or 6 times a day. There's no stomach pain, but there's this discomfort that makes me feel better temporarily after going. There's no pain or burning when using the toilet. What might this be about, and could you suggest some solutions?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). I recommend trying a combination of dietary and lifestyle changes to help manage your symptoms. Increase your fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Drink plenty of water and avoid trigger foods such as caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods. Regular exercise and stress management techniques can also be helpful. Additionally, you can try over-the-counter antidiarrheal medications to help control your bowel movements. If your symptoms persist, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I've been having some digestive issues and I'm wondering if eating corn could be causing me constipation. I eat corn pretty often and would love to know if there's a natural remedy that could help with this. Any advice?

Accepted Answer

Corn is generally a great source of nutrition and fibre for the body, however, anything can be harmful when taken in extreme excess. Constipation can be relieved by taking stool softeners and laxatives such as Duphalac syrup or Dulcolax tablets.

Question 3

I'm dealing with diarrhea since this morning and already took a Norflox tablet. For food, I'm sticking to bananas and boiled rice, and I'm hydrating with ORS. Is there anything else I should be doing to feel better?

Accepted Answer

Swallowing a bone can be uncomfortable.

_Possible scenarios:_

1. _Bone stuck in throat_: The bone might be lodged in your throat, causing pain while eating.
2. _Bone in esophagus or stomach_: The bone may have passed into your esophagus or stomach, causing discomfort or pain.

_What to do:_

1. _Stay calm_: Try to remain calm and avoid panicking.
2. _Drink water_: Drink plenty of water to help the bone pass through your system.
3. _Eat soft foods_: Opt for soft, easy-to-swallow foods like yogurt, scrambled eggs, or mashed bananas.
4. _Avoid solid foods_: Refrain from eating solid foods, especially those that may scratch or irritate your throat or esophagus.

_When to seek medical attention:_

1. _Severe pain_: If you experience severe pain or difficulty swallowing.
2. _Vomiting blood_: If you vomit blood or see blood in your stool.
3. _Difficulty breathing_: If you experience difficulty breathing or shortness of breath.
4. _No improvement_: If your symptoms persist or worsen over time.

If you're unsure or concerned, consider consulting a doctor or visiting an emergency room for further evaluation and guidance.
