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.

Why do I feel like pooping but nothing comes out?

It can be because of lack of fibre in diet and some intestinal conditions like irritable bowel syndrome. Try to include high fiber foods such as Pears, strawberries, apple, oat meal, brown rice, banana, broccoli, green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach), avocado, carrots, tomato, beans and sweet potato in diet and take plenty of fluids.If issue still persist then consult a doctor.

I've had jaundice before, but I'm doing well now. I'm thinking about using Liv 52 as a regular detox thing. How many Liv 52 tablets should I take a day? And is there a limit on how long I can use it without worrying?

For detoxification purposes, you can take 2 tablets of Liv 52 twice a day after meals. It is generally safe to use Liv 52 for a prolonged period of time as it is a natural hepatoprotective supplement. However, if you have any concerns or experience any unusual symptoms, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional.
