I've been having this weird issue for the past two months where my stomach feels like it's beating, kind of like a heartbeat. It's freaking me out a little, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do about it?

View allI've been having some diarrhea and mild pain in the upper part of my stomach since yesterday. The pain eases when I go to the bathroom, but my stools are really watery. Should I be taking Ciplox TZ or Noflox TZ for this? And how much should I take?

I'm dealing with some bowel issues for about a year now. Sometimes things seem to get better, but then it starts acting up again after a few days. My colon just doesnt seem to empty properly. Sometimes the bowel is really hard, and other times there's a mucus-like thing, which causes gas and acidity. No matter what type of bowel movement it is, I struggle to pass stools and have to apply a lot of pressure, which sometimes leads to rectal pain. Even then, my colon still doesnt feel empty. I'm wondering if there might be some kind of obstruction or if it could be irritable bowel syndrome. It's really affecting my daily life, and the discomfort is too much to handle. Can you help clarify what's going on?
While Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a likely cause of your symptoms, its important to consider other possible conditions, such as intestinal obstruction, IBD, or pelvic floor dysfunction. Given the persistence and discomfort of your symptoms, I highly recommend consulting a gastroenterologist to undergo a thorough evaluation, including tests like a colonoscopy or imaging, to rule out other potential causes and get a proper diagnosis. Treatment may involve a combination of dietary changes, medications, and possibly physical therapy for pelvic floor issues.

My doctor switched me from lactifiber to lactihep plus for my hard stools. I'm supposed to take 10ml, but I'm not sure how much water I should mix it with. Could you guide me on this?
You can mix 10 ml of Lactihep Plus in about half a glass of water (around 100-150 ml) and drink it. Follow it up with plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and help with stool softening.
