I'm feeling really embarrassed because every time I eat, especially at breakfast, I get this buildup of phlegm in my throat that I need to spit out. It's been happening for a while and it's awkward for people around me. I've been treated for GERD with medicines like Rabiym DSR, and for allergies with Monteluksut and Fex. But it still doesn't seem to be getting better. Do you know what might be causing this or how I could improve the situation?

I've been having this burning pain at my anus when I sit, and it gets worse after I pass stools. This has been going on for about two weeks now, and I'm really starting to get worried. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned about any specific conditions? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cannot be diagnosed without examining the area. Possible anal fissure, or hemorrhoids.

I've been having this issue where my stomach starts hurting right after meals, and I feel like I have to run to the bathroom with really loose stools. I tried taking Gut OK for like a week, but it didn't help at all. What could be going on here? Should I try something else or maybe get checked out?

Based on your symptoms, you may benefit from taking Imodium to help with your loose stools and stomach discomfort. Imodium is an over-the-counter medication that can help control diarrhea. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

Why do I feel weak after pooping?

Weakness after defecation is due to vaso vagal reaction. When you tense abdominal muscles or strain to pass stool, vagus nerve is stimulated which decreases the heart rate. Also, blood flow to the heart decreases causing the blood pressure to drop. Hence, decreased heart rate with drop in blood pressure together makes you light headed or weak after passing stool.
