Is drinking ENO powder for the last 30 days bad for my health? I've been using it daily and I'm a bit concerned about whether it's safe to keep taking. Could it have any long-term effects?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is not advisable to use Eno powder for prolonged durations. It can cause bloating and erructations as well as disturbances in the normal gut flora due to change in intestinal PH.

View allI've been feeling some tightness in my mid to lower abdomen and I've noticed my acid reflux has been worse lately. Occasionally, I feel nauseous and I've had a cough that seems to be getting better now, but my bowel movements have been all over the place. What could be causing all this?
Your symptoms, including abdominal tightness, acid reflux, nausea, cough, and irregular bowel movements, suggest possible gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); consider consulting a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation, including upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, or imaging tests, to determine the underlying cause and develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include dietary changes, antacids, acid reducers, or medication to manage symptoms.

I've had gall bladder stones for about a year now, sizes ranging from 9mm to 1.2mm, and they cause really bad pain and vomiting. Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments I could try

I'm really worried because we did a test today, and the results weren't good at all. My main concern is that he's a TB patient, and now, after just one week, his Bilirubin levels are really high. What should we do next?
