Been noticing that my stool has whole chunks of watermelon, tomatoes, and carrots in it for the past couple of days. Just got over a cold and was taking Cefixine as prescribed by my doctor. This all started happening after that. It's not like they're partially digested; they're whole pieces. Should I be worried about this? Never had anything like this before. What do you think could be going on?

Understanding Undigested Food in Stool
- It's common to see undigested food like watermelon, tomatoes, and carrots in stool due to their high fiber content. This can occur if they pass through the digestive system quickly.
-
Possible Causes Related to Cefixime Use
- Antibiotics like Cefixime can disrupt gut bacteria, potentially affecting digestion and leading to changes in stool appearance.
-
When to Be Concerned
- Seek medical attention if you experience persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, or weight loss. Monitor the duration of these symptoms.
-
Recommendations and Next Steps
- Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet. Inform your doctor about these symptoms, especially if they persist or worsen.
-
Relevant Medical Specialties and Tests
- Consider consulting a gastroenterologist if symptoms continue. Stool tests may be needed to assess digestion and gut health.

View allI'm really worried about my liver enzyme levels since my SGPT is at 184 and SGOT is 67. I've been on Udiliv 300 for the past three months, but it doesn't seem to be helping because the enzymes have gone up. My fasting blood sugar is at 100, and I'm also low on Vitamin D at 26. What do you suggest I do next?
Seems like your liver enzymes are still elevated despite taking Udiliv 300. I recommend adding Liv 52 DS to help improve liver function. You can take 2 tablets twice a day after meals. Additionally, you can consider adding Vitamin E supplement to support liver health. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and monitoring.

I seem to be farting a lot and it's really embarrassing, especially because they're often wet and smell really bad. This is becoming a problem in places like the classroom and hostel. I'm also noticing that my stool has a strong odor, particularly in the mornings. What could be causing this and is there anything I can do to fix it?
Excessive, wet, and foul-smelling flatulence, along with bad-smelling stools, may indicate an imbalance of gut bacteria, poor digestion, or malabsorption of nutrients; consider incorporating probiotics, digestive enzymes, and fiber-rich foods into your diet, while also avoiding trigger foods like beans, cabbage, and dairy

You know, I've been taking Rinifol since my doctor said I have IBS Diarrhoea and it worked really well for about a month. Is it safe to use Rinifol for a long time, like for life, or is there anything I should be worried about?
