Question

Can eating raw rice actually lead to worms in the stomach, and could those worms really start eating away at our bones? I'm just a bit worried because I've heard this before and would love some clarification.

Question

I'm really concerned because I've always noticed a bad smell in my mouth and nose. I've already seen a dentist, an otolaryngologist, and even enteric specialists, but they all say there's no problem. I'm not sure what to do next, and honestly, it's been really upsetting. Any advice on what steps I should take now?

Question

I'm wondering about this 17 mm stone in my gall bladder that I recently found out about. I'm not in any pain right now, even though it's pretty big. I'm 42 years old and a bit unsure about what to do. Should I get the surgery done right away, or is it okay to wait a year or so since I'm not feeling any discomfort at the moment? I understand surgery is necessary eventually, but I'm curious if there's any harm in waiting a bit given my current situation.

Question

I'm dealing with functional bowel disease, and my stool consistency is all over the place. Sometimes it's semisolid, and other times it's suddenly hard. I'm wondering if taking Bilwadi lehyam might help improve this? I also have a tendency to get anal fissures, so could it make my stool too hard?
