Question 1

Experiencing gas problems again even after taking Nexpro 40 as my doctor recommended. Should I keep taking it, or do I need something else? I'm also having this weird, pinching chest pain on both sides sometimes. It's not severe, but I'm worried if it's just gas or something more serious. Any advice?

Consult your doctor before adding biotin and omega-3 supplements to your Mesacol OD treatment for ulcerative colitis.

Regarding Mesacol OD duration:

1. Typically prescribed for 6-12 months.
2. Long-term use (over 1 year) should be monitored by your doctor due to potential side effects.

Schedule a follow-up with your doctor to discuss:

2. Mesacol OD treatment duration
3. Adjusting your treatment plan as needed

Question 2

I'm dealing with some really frustrating potty problems. For the past 2 years, I've been having irregular bowel movements, and it's just so irritating. I've been taking sorbolene syrup and cubs her, but it's not helping at all. What else can I do to get some relief?

Adding fiber to your diet increases the weight of your stool and speeds its passage through your intestines. Slowly begin to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables each day. Choose whole-grain breads and cereals.....
Exercise most days of the week. Physical activity increases muscle activity in your intestines. Try to fit in exercise most days of the week...
Don't ignore the urge to have a bowel movement. Take your time in the bathroom, allowing yourself enough time to have a bowel movement without distractions and without feeling rushed...
