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 dealing with a really bad headache for a while now, along with dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. I can't stand noise or bright lights, and being in crowds just makes me feel sick and irritated. Lately, I've noticed I'm constipated too. There was a time when passing stools was painful and difficult, but that seemed to have eased up until yesterday when I saw blood in the toilet. I'm not on my period, and I'm really scared because I'm pretty sure I've seen blood in my stool twice now. What's going on? Could you help me understand this?

Question

I've been having loose motions since last night and I'm not sure what kind of medicine I should take. I've already been drinking lemon water regularly. Could you help me figure out what else might help?

Question

I've been dealing with black and bloody stools with mucus for about 10 days now, and it's really worrying me. I also get this dull pain in the middle of my stomach after meals and usually see the blood in my stool 2 to 3 hours after eating. I'm having 3 to 4 bowel movements a day with blood and mucus, and it's exhausting. Besides that, I feel really full, weak, and tired all the time, and even breathing seems a bit harder. I've already seen a doctor who prescribed me Enteroquinol and Revkzole, but it's been four days and there's no relief. Could this be something serious? Should I consider getting a second opinion, or maybe ask for more tests?
