I'm really into fitness and have been for the past few months. I used to have 5 egg whites a day, but to get more protein, I increased it to 10. I usually eat them after my workout. Lately, I've been having gastric issues and even started experiencing back pain. I heard that these problems could be connected, like maybe the back pain could be because of too much egg white consumption and the gastric issue. Is there any truth to this?

Question

I'm dealing with drooling for the past few months and I've heard it might be from worms in the stomach. I've had worm issues before, so I'm concerned this might be related. How can I put an end to this problem once and for all? Also, I've noticed a big gain in weight over the past couple of years. Could these be connected? What should I do?

Question

I'm a bit worried because I took NorfloxTZ for my loose motions for 5 days, and on the 5th day, the problem started again. I stopped taking Norflox, but I'm still having loose stools, like two or three times a day. Do you think it's okay to try Metronidazole for this, or is there something else I should do?
