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'm dealing with IBS and was diagnosed with depression about 1.5 years ago. I've been taking fludac 20, but recently I've been having bowel movements 6-7 times a day, and they're fragmented. It's not like diarrhea but it's been going on for 5 days with some stomach cramps. Usually, taking metrogyl 400 clears it up in a day, but this time it's not helping. I started taking norflox tz yesterdaytwice dailyand I'm feeling a little better, but there's still this urge for bowel movement and some cramps. Any thoughts on what might be happening or what else I should do?

I've noticed something odd today. Every time I went to the bathroom to poop, there was this oily substance that seemed to emerge from my anus. It's not like it's actively leaking, but when I look in the toilet, I can clearly see the oil floating on the water. It even looks about the color of olive oil. Do you have any idea why this is happening? Is it something I should be concerned about?
Meditation alone cannot cure calcified granulomas. _Consult a neurologistneurosurgeon for proper evaluation and imaging tests (CTMRI scans)._ Meditation can help with stress reduction and overall well-being, but medical attention is necessary to monitor the granuloma.
