Can someone help me with understanding if radish, especially the white kind, is okay for acidity issues? A friend mentioned radish juice could help with my constipation, but since it has a spicy taste, I'm worried it might actually cause more acidity.

Effect on Acidity:
- White radish has a mild spicy taste that might increase stomach acid or cause discomfort in those with sensitivity.
Constipation Relief:
- It is high in fiber and water, aiding in stool softening and promoting bowel movements.
Moderation is Key:
- Start with small amounts of radish juice to monitor your stomach's reaction.
Alternative Options:
- Consider gentler remedies like warm water with lemon or fiber-rich fruits such as papaya.

If acidity symptoms worsen after consuming radish, avoid it and consult a healthcare professional for tailored advice.

I'm having this really sharp, constant pain in my upper left abdomen and it's getting worse when I cough or sneeze. Even small movements sometimes set it off. About three weeks ago, I had a bad cough with congestion, fever, headache, and body pain, and I was on antibiotics and other meds for ten days. Now the fever and headaches are gone, but Im still dealing with a mild wet cough. This abdominal pain is really worrying me because it seems to be increasing every day. Ive attached my USG and X-ray reports too. Do you think this could be related to my past illness, or is it something else?

What color is blood in stool?

You might see blood mixed with stool or blood at the end of passage of stool and even dark or black stools. Bright red blood usually indicates bleeding that's low in either colon, rectum or anus. Dark red or maroon blood indicates bleeding that's higher in the colon or small intestine. Dark stools indicate that bleeding from stomach most probably an ulcer. Sometimes, you may observe loose stools mixed with streaks of blood which is seen in infections like dysentry.
