I'm 70 and I've been using Kayam Churna for regular bowel movements, but its starting to give me acidity and mess with my sleep. I exercise regularly and stick to a veg diet with plenty of fiber. I've tried Cremilax for the past few days, and it seems to work well. How long can I safely continue using Cremilax?

Question

I've noticed that whenever I add milk to my diet, I start to feel some pain in my stomach, and it seems to trigger gas issues. I also get this feeling of acidity and sometimes deal with constipation. I'm wondering if I can use milk powder as an alternative to meet my dairy needs. Is it healthy to make that switch, and are there any possible side effects I should be aware of?

Question

I'm dealing with a really heavy feeling in my chest because of excess gas. It's happening every day no matter what I do, and whatever I eat seems to only make it worse. Most of the time, I feel like there's a lot of gas trapped near my chest area, and it's super uncomfortable. What can I do about this?

Question

I've just got my Fibroscan report and it says the median stiffness is 7.9 Kpa. I'm really confused about what this means. Does this indicate I've got fatty liver? Could you help me understand this better and let me know what steps I should take next?
