I'm really worried because I'm having diarrhea after eating papaya on an empty stomach, and my stomach cramps are really bad. I took ornof, but it only seems to provide temporary relief. As soon as it wears off, the cramping and diarrhea come back. I have a history of IBS, so I'm really concerned. Could this be a reaction to the papaya, or something related to my IBS? What should I do next?

Question

What should I eat to avoid constipation?

I'm 19 years old and recently noticed something strange - my stomach moves in a way that feels like a heartbeat. I'm not sure if it's something that has always been there, but I've only noticed it in the last couple of months. Could this be something normal or should I be worried about it?
