View allI've been taking Dulcoflex for about a month now to help with constipation, but I'm noticing some weird side effects. I'm going to the bathroom a lot more often and I'm always hungry, even after eating a big meal. I've also noticed I'm losing weight and there's some itching around the anal area. I've done a bunch of tests but everything comes back normal. Could you suggest what might be going on or recommend some medication that could help? I'm really worried about these symptoms.
The symptoms you're experiencing, such as high urination, excessive hunger, weight loss, and anal itching, despite normal test results, may be related to the laxative Dulcoflex (bisacodyl); consider stopping or reducing the medication and switching to a fiber supplement like Psyllium Husk or methylcellulose to manage constipation

I've been dealing with some stomach issues lately, feeling really heavy and having a lot of gas and acidity whenever I eat. It's making me feel tired all over, with weakness, fatigue, and headaches. Also, for the past 25 days, my legs have been feeling weak and fatigued, especially when I'm trying to sleep at night. It's been pretty tough on me, and I'm really hoping for some advice or support on what might be causing this and how I can feel better. What do you think could be going on and what should I do?

I had large intestine surgery a month ago because of some perforations they removed part of it and reconnected it. I usually smoke shisha or hookah just for fun without inhaling. Is it safe for me to do that now?
After large intestine surgery, it’s best to avoid shisha or hookah, even if not inhaled, as the smoke and carbon monoxide can affect healing and overall bowel function.
