I'm dealing with really painful hemorrhoids and it's getting hard for me to function properly. My stool is really hard and difficult to pass, and I just end up feeling so bloated if I don't have a clear stomach. It's painful whether I'm sitting or walking and I'm honestly super stressed out about it. I've been trying homeopathic medicines but they don't seem to do anything for me anymore. Can you suggest anything that might actually help? Also, things like isabgol that are supposed to act as stool softeners seem to harden it more, which is confusing. What should I do?

Question

I'm really struggling with this awful stomach pain and constant bloating. I was taking Digene and Rablet, and it worked for a bit, but then it just stopped being effective. Now I'm on Rablet IT and Asthymin, but there's still no relief. What's weird is that when I'm asleep, I don't have gas issues, but as soon as I wake up, it all starts again, and my whole stomach hurts. Drinking cold milk seems to help temporarily, but nothing else seems to work. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?

Question

I've been dealing with nausea, stomach pressure, acidity, and weight loss even though I've been eating normally. Recently, after getting an upper endoscopy, they found I have antral gastritis and tested positive for H. pylori. So, I'm on Nexpro L, Gaviscon syrup, an H. pylori treatment kit, and a probiotic. It's been 8 days on these meds, with another week to go. While my symptoms have improved and I'm feeling better, I'm still dropping weight. I'm really confused and a bit worried why this is happening. Could it be because of the H. pylori infection? Once the treatment's over, will I be able to gain weight back? I used to weigh around 71 kg last year; now I'm down to 65.5 kg. I also have piles, and it's kind of freaking me out. How should I approach gaining weight again?

Question

I'm feeling kind of stuck because my gastroenterologist said I need a colonoscopy for my stomach pain, but I'm trying this new eating schedule where I eat every 33 hours, and fasting is really hard for me. How do I navigate this? Any advice would be really helpful.
