Question

Can you recommend a good probiotic tablet for me and let me know how long I should take it? My doctor suggested I take rifagut 200mg, but I forgot to ask for how many days I should be on it. Could you let me know the duration and dosage guidance?

Culturelle Daily Probiotic (contains Lactobacillus GG) Align Probiotic (contains Bifidobacterium 35624) Florastor Probiotic (contains Saccharomyces boulardii) The duration of probiotic use can vary, but many people take them daily for 1-2 weeks to support gut health, and some may continue longer, depending on their needs. Please speak with your doctor to confirm the correct duration and dosage

Question

I've been feeling some tightness in my mid to lower abdomen and I've noticed my acid reflux has been worse lately. Occasionally, I feel nauseous and I've had a cough that seems to be getting better now, but my bowel movements have been all over the place. What could be causing all this?

Question

I've been on Sompraz HP for 14 days, and now my doctor wants me to switch to Sompraz L. I'm worried it might be addictive. Do I really need to take it, or can I skip it?

Question

I'm really worried because I've just been diagnosed with a grade 2 fatty liver and my sgpt is at 70.05. I've started feeling a dull abdominal pain, and even though I've cut out oily junk food and now walk about 3-4 kms daily, I'm struggling to get a good night's sleep, probably because of stress. Lately, I've noticed that after eating cabbage sabji for dinner, I can smell cabbage in my stool the next day. Could this mean something, or am I just overthinking it? Would love to hear your thoughts.
