I've had issues with acidity ever since I was 14, and now I'm 22. It gets really bad during my periods and a week before they start. The acidity is so severe I can't even stomach plain rice, and it causes my stomach to bloat. Plus, I get these headaches that make it hard to focus on anything. Could you please advise on what to do about this?

A movable, wobbly lump on the lower left side of your rib cage could be a lipoma (benign fatty tumor), a sebaceous cyst, or a hernia. Less commonly, it could be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a splenic tumor or cyst. Consult a primary care physician or a general surgeon for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm having this really troubling issue where every time I eat something spicy, I end up with this horrible acid and gas buildup. It feels like the back of my head is going to explode, and the pain just doesn't go away until I vomit everything I've eaten. This sometimes lasts for hours. What's going on, and what can I do about it?

Hey, I was hoping you could help me out with something. My friend has been having some trouble ever since she started drinking milk again after a two-year break. Whenever she has milk on an empty stomach, like in the morning or before bed, she ends up with gas issues and sometimes an upset stomach. Its been going on for about six months now. Could it be the milk that's causing the problem, or do you think it might be something else? And are there any ways to deal with this or things she should be doing differently?
It is possible that she may have developed lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products. Symptoms include gas, bloating, and stomach upset after consuming dairy products. To help alleviate these symptoms, your friend can try taking lactase enzyme supplements before consuming milk or dairy products. These supplements help break down lactose and may reduce the symptoms of lactose intolerance. Additionally, she can try consuming lactose-free milk or dairy products, such as lactose-free milk or almond milk. It is important for your friend to consult with a doctor or a gastroenterologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
