I've got a bit of a situation with my grade 2 fatty liver. I've been walking around 34 kms every day, trying to keep active. I take Ursocol 300 twice daily after meals, but I've also been battling some acid reflux, which is adding to my stress and affecting my sleep. Lately, I've been having bowel movements 3 to 4 times a day. Just today, I ate a full plate of papaya in the morning, and by noon, I could smell papaya when I went to the bathroom. I noticed this before when I ate a couple of servings of cabbage and some spinach juice. I took a Darolac tablet at night to help with digestion. This never used to happen to me, and I'm a bit concerned. Could this be connected to my liver or should I be looking into something else?

Question

I've been experiencing stomach rumbles more in the morning than at any other time of the day. Can you suggest what might help make this go away?

I'm really struggling with a mouth ulcer that's been bothering me for a week now and the pain's becoming unbearable. I first tried smily cream for a couple of days but it didn't help at all. Then a friend gave me some kenacort gel and I've been using that for a couple of days along with taking a B complex capsule. Just today, an MBBS friend of mine suggested I try pantop 40 and BBiotic capsule, plus apply zytee gel. I started this new treatment tonight, on the 15th of September. Is there anything else you would recommend? I've never had an ulcer last this long, usually it gets better within a day or two. The pain's really affecting my ability to eat and now my stomach's been off too. I'm just wondering if there's a better way to tackle this.

Question

I've not been able to have a bowel movement for the last four days, even though I've been taking Cremaffin syrup, and it doesn't seem to help. My stomach feels really heavy and painful. What should I do?
