On the 1st week I started to take it everyday in the morning 30 min before breakfast, everything was fine. Then on 2nd week, I started again my birth control pills which is Asumate 30. And from the moment that I have started again my birth control pills and the L Thyroxin 25, I have been having diarrhea problem for 2 weeks until today still on going. I am not sure what is the issue , can you help please ?

I think you might have a stomach upset. When you take birth control pills with L Thyroxin, you might experience diarrhea. This could mean that the combo is affecting your gut. Keep yourself hydrated and consider taking the drugs at different times during the day. If it doesn’t stop, talk to a doctor so they can advise accordingly.

I have long term chronic constipation Weight loss depression anxiety and nervousness
Male | 24
You’re having a tough time with chronic constipation, weight loss, depression, anxiety, and nervousness. These symptoms may be related. Being constipated all the time can make you feel low and edgy, plus it may affect your weight. Ensure you have plenty of fluids such as water and eat foods that are high in fiber so that you can keep regular. Moreover, tell somebody how you feel because this might help reduce the feelings of anxiety or depression.

What food is best is ice cream, tea cakes, fibre flakes ok if I have chronic ibs
Male | 42
If you are suffering from chronic IBS, the best diet to go for would be easy foods on your tummy. Ice cream, tea cakes, and fiber flakes may be questionable choices. Ice cream might be the cause of your stomachache, and tea cakes are too sweet. On the other hand, fiber flakes could be a high-fiber one, which can trigger IBS symptoms such as bloating and cramps and therefore be a reason for the worsening of the condition. You should make it a point to eat unseasoned foods like rice, cooked vegetables, and lean proteins to assist in calming your stomach.

Ate dinner around 10pm, woke up around 3 am out of sleep with excruciating stomach pain. Tried to sit on my knees in bed and it was hard to move with the level of pain. 8/10 pain. About 30 seconds later I feel overwhelming nausea and intense sweating. Went to the bathroom thinking I might need to pass a bowel because I had gas before going to bed but nothing. Pain is extremely intense and I vomit 3 times. I have laid back down but the stomach pain has transpired to all of my lower abdomen, and dull, ache in my anus as well. I am drinking water, using a hot pad, and pillow between my knees as it eases the pressure on my stomach. Might be unnecessary information but I did cough at one point and it felt like my anus pushed out?? Almost like a prolapse it hurt so bad
Female | 24
It sounds like you're experiencing significant abdominal discomfort, potentially due to indigestion, gas buildup, or another gastrointestinal issue. Nausea, sweating, and vomiting can result from pain and discomfort. While using a hot pad and maintaining hydration is great for comfort, it's essential to seek medical attention, especially since your pain level is high and has spread. A gastroenterologist can evaluate your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment. If your symptoms worsen or persist, please don't hesitate to reach out for help.

i was suffering with thyroid infection before after that my ear infection started. finally that its gone now im suffering from piles and anal fissures. also other symptoms include such as white patches in mouth. why this continuous health issues? do i have weakened immune system?
Female | 19
The presence of white patches in your mouth could indicate a condition like oral thrush, which may arise from various factors, including infections and immune system fluctuations. Piles and anal fissures can often occur due to constipation or straining during bowel movements. It's essential to maintain a balanced diet rich in fiber and stay hydrated. These ongoing issues don't necessarily mean your immune system is significantly weakened, but I encourage you to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized guidance.

Female | 20
You have discomfort in the lower abdomen. After sex, you might be dealing with a mild infection or inflammation. It might be the reason for pain and gas problems. Throwing up after meals may also indicate digestive system troubles. If the pain continues, visit a gastroenterologist for further examination.

Male | 22
Experiencing involuntary loss of stool or urine can be concerning. Various factors may contribute, such as stress, dietary choices, or even anxiety. It's important to assess your habits, including fluid intake and any recent lifestyle changes. Practicing regular bathroom routines and pelvic floor exercises may help strengthen control. However, I strongly encourage you to schedule a consultation with a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation. They can offer personalized guidance and ensure there are no underlying issues.

Anal itching is happening due to the hemorrhoids itself. Maintaining good hygiene, using over-the-counter creams or ointments, and avoiding straining during bowel movements can help alleviate symptoms. Still it's always best to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Blooding When i go washroom
Other | 25
If you spot blood in the toilet bowl after urinating, it could indicate a problem. It might be as simple as a small scrape in your urinary tract, or it could be a result of an infection or potentially something more serious like a kidney stone. If this occurs more than once, you should tell a gastroenterologist so they can find out what is happening and how to fix it.

Sir I have a cut on my anus. Whenever there is a solid motion or if the anus is cleaned with too much force, it starts bleeding. What should I do?
Male | 22
Cuts in the anal area can occur due to various reasons, such as straining during bowel movements or cleansing too vigorously. It's important to keep the area clean and gentle, using mild soap and lukewarm water. Applying a barrier cream, like petroleum jelly, can also help. If bleeding persists or worsens, I recommend consulting a gastroenterologist for a thorough examination and targeted treatment.

I see that you’re having a hard time eating and you feel nauseous, especially after only eating a little bit. This could be why you’re experiencing these symptoms while taking a break from smoking marijuana. Common factors may be withdrawal from weed or even just feeling anxious. It is important to keep yourself hydrated and try having small frequent meals. You might want to talk to a gastroenterologist for more help with your situation.

I am 32 year old mate who has had stomach pain on his lower left side of his stomach for around a year. My stools the last few weeks are like a yellow colour and not very solid. I’ve had a colonoscopy done and come back fine
Male | 32
You have been dealing with a lower left-sided bellyache near your stomach for a year now. If you've also noticed yellow, pasty stools, it could be a sign of an underlying issue. Even if your colonoscopy results were normal, it’s important to talk to your doctor about these new symptoms. The cause might be related to your pancreas or liver. Make sure to inform a gastroenterologist about all your symptoms so they can provide the proper evaluation and treatment.
