Should I Reduce Weekly Junk Food Consumption?
I (Age 22, male) eat junk food(a sandwich or a roll) every Wednesday. I also eat puri sagu (south indian food - about 7 in quantity) every Sunday. It is not exactly junk food. Is this a bad habit? Should I reduce it? Or is it not a problem?

You're wise to think about eating habits. Weekly sandwiches and rolls aren't ideal. Too much junk food causes weight gain, high cholesterol, and heart issues. Balance meals with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Swap some junk food for healthier choices.

Running to the bathroom repeatedly or feeling stomach pains? It may indicate a stomach bug, causing frequent bowel movements and increased urination.

I’ve been diagnosed with gastroenteritis for the past three days, but today’s gotten so much worse, I had frequent watery stool and no appetite at all, what can I do
Female | 13
You're experiencing severe gastroenteritis symptoms. This illness causes abdominal pain, vomiting, and frequent diarrhea, usually caused by viruses or bacteria. The recommended approach is resting, drinking plenty of water to prevent dehydration, and avoiding spicy or fatty foods. Consume bland items like crackers and plain rice to soothe your stomach. Recovery should occur soon. However, if symptoms worsen or you can't keep liquids down, visit a gastroenterologist.

Hi doc i have been recebtly diagnosed for having gallstones but now im itching uncontrollably and i have dark urine is that of concern?
Female | 26
Feeling an intense itch and noticing dark-colored urine raises red flags if you have gallstones. The dark urine likely stems from bile flow blockage in the liver. Meanwhile, the persistent itching sensation may result from bile salts seeping into your skin. These distressing symptoms could signal underlying issues with your liver or bile ducts. It's crucial to promptly seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist.

My sister have annal issue.. A tail like structure comes out partially. He is suffering from partial pain..
Female | 34
Anal fissures cause a tear in the anus lining. Bowel movements become painful. A small piece of tissue sticks out too. Keeping clean, eating fiber, drinking water prevents constipation. That helps a lot. Over-the-counter creams provide relief too. Your sister likely has an anal fissure condition. Symptoms match what you described. Proper care is important for healing. Fiber, water intake, and hygiene make a big difference. Medicated creams also ease discomfort and promote healing.

Was having mild stinging in my throat in january and was prescribed rabeloc for one month followed by esomeprazole for another month. After the completion of my dose my throat was fine and I stopped the medication. However I noticed in one week after stopping the medcines I had severe stabbing pains in my chest stomach breast. Could it be because I stopped the ppi or something else.
Female | 25
You were taking medication to alleviate throat discomfort, and now you're experiencing chest and abdominal pain. These pains might be a consequence of abruptly discontinuing the medicine. The medication likely reduced stomach acid levels. Upon cessation, your body may have produced more acid, resulting in the pain you're experiencing. It would be advisable to consult with a gastroenterologist to determine the appropriate course of action.

Had the flu week ago….all the symptoms…. Stool clay color, now having pain under right rib cage…2 days ago started having loose stools every time eating something…Stool getting back to normal color now… No abdominal pain and no back pain….Is this something be concerned with… Do not take med only Tylenol….
Female | 65
Your flu last week messed with your digestion. The clay-colored poop is likely due to a liver or gallbladder hiccup. That rib pain on your right side? It connects. The loose stool after eating shows your body's still healing. But since your poop's regaining color and pain's mild, just rest up. Drink lots of water. Eat simply digestible foods. If that rib ache persists or intensifies, see a doctor. For now, your body's recovering from illness.
