I'm dealing with ulcerative colitis and have been on Mesacol OD for about a year now. I'm curious if it's okay to take biotin and omega-3 supplements alongside it. Also, how long typically should someone stay on Mesacol OD?

Question

Was dealing with COVID back in April and felt better by May. Havent had any issues till now, but for the past 45 days, my stomach's been feeling really tight like Im constipated. Not much gas is coming out, even with rantac 150mg. There's also this chest tightness and occasional pain, especially on the left side and in the middle bone of my chest. Is it just gas, or could it be something else? I'm kinda worried.

Question

I'm struggling with chronic constipation, and my doctor advised me to take Pegred solution for three months. I've been using it on and off for over four years now. Lately, for the past month or so, I'm dealing with back pain, feeling weak, tired, sleepy during the day, and having issues with vomiting and indigestion. Can you help me understand what's happening? Do you have any suggestions for other medications for constipation?

Question

I felt a hard lump in the back of my throat, kind of like a bone, and I can touch it with my finger. I have Achalasia, and it's been really tough for me to eat and drink because of the pain. Do you think this lump is related to that, or could it be something I should be worried about?
