I'm on medication for stomach tuberculosis and it's been nine months so far. I've heard that for stomach TB, you need to take the meds for at least a year to avoid the risk of MDR. Is that actually true?

I've been having this issue where I end up vomiting just saliva every morning after I brush my teeth or drink water. I tried taking aciloc rd, but it's not helping at all. Any ideas on what I should do or what might be causing this?

I'm dealing with this problem where every time I have a bowel movement, it always feels like I'm not done. It's like, I eat or drink something, and then I immediately feel like I have to go to the bathroom again. The stools are really mushy, sometimes thin, and not in that regular bulk shape. Plus, they come with this burning sensation when passing through. I've tried taking ofloxacin oridazole tablets, and that seems to stop these frequent bathroom trips for a bit. Also, I get cramps under my left rib cage, kind of where my stomach is, and I tend to burp after eating or even just drinking water. Could you help me figure out what's going on with my body?
