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?

View allDoes IBS cause weight loss?
It is not very typical to have weight loss in IBS as compared to Ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Due to severe abdominal pain or cramps, persons with IBS may consume less food than they normally would which may lead to weight change but significant weight loss may not be common.

I've been yawning a lot lately, like way more than usual, and I'm starting to wonder if it's linked to my digestion somehow. I've been feeling some pressure in my neck and back, but it seems to ease up when I yawn. Could too much gas in my body cause this? I'm trying to figure out what's going on.
Excessive yawning can be linked to indigestion or gas buildup, as it may trigger the body to attempt to regulate oxygen levels and relieve pressure. The pressure in your neck and back may be due to muscle tension, and yawning could help release that tension, offering temporary relief. If these symptoms persist, its a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying digestive issues.

I'm 27 and just had a test today because my stomach hasn't been feeling right. I've been having a hard time with it and it feels kind of like dysentery. What could be going on with my stomach?
At 27, experiencing persistent stomach issues and a dysentery-like feeling can be concerning. Its likely an infection or irritation in the gut. Stay hydrated, avoid heavy foods, and consult for a stool test or antibiotics if symptoms worsen. Take care!
