Question

I seem to be farting a lot and it's really embarrassing, especially because they're often wet and smell really bad. This is becoming a problem in places like the classroom and hostel. I'm also noticing that my stool has a strong odor, particularly in the mornings. What could be causing this and is there anything I can do to fix it?

Excessive, wet, and foul-smelling flatulence, along with bad-smelling stools, may indicate an imbalance of gut bacteria, poor digestion, or malabsorption of nutrients; consider incorporating probiotics, digestive enzymes, and fiber-rich foods into your diet, while also avoiding trigger foods like beans, cabbage, and dairy

Question

I've been having this pain under my left rib that keeps coming and going, and it's been like this for a few days now. It actually just got worse today. Any idea what might be causing it? It's starting to worry me a bit.

Question

I noticed something hard right below my ribs on the right side, but it doesn't hurt. I'm a bit concerned about what it could be. Could you tell me which type of doctor I should see about this?

Question

I can't stop going to the bathroom these past few days. My stomach and lower intestines were killing me last night, but it felt a bit better after having diarrhea. Then this morning, right after waking up, I had to go again. I've already been to the bathroom twice in just three hours of being up. I'm feeling super exhausted, stressed out, and I don't even feel like eating. Could you help me understand what's going on?
