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 noticed that whenever I travel by bus or train, I seem to get a lot of gas in my stomach, and it's super uncomfortable. It makes the whole journey pretty hard to enjoy. I'm really curious if there's anything I can do to prevent this from happening. Any suggestions?

I'm a 23-year-old guy and lately, I've noticed this really unusual smell in my stool for the past 10 to 15 days. It's not like the usual odor, and I can't even begin to describe it. On top of that, I've been dealing with constipation off and on. Other than these issues, I feel okay. I should mention that a couple of months ago, I had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy because of some abdomen pain, but everything came back normal. Is this something I should be worried about?
Its good that your colonoscopy and endoscopy were normal. A change in stool odor, along with occasional constipation, could be related to diet or mild digestive issues, but if the symptoms persist or worsen, it's worth checking in with your doctor again to rule out any underlying concerns.

I'm a bit concerned about something I've noticed with my chest area. On the left side, where my ribs are, it seems more distended compared to the right side, especially after I eat. It's often linked with gas or indigestion, but there's no pain, and it doesn't happen every timeit just catches my attention when it does. Sometimes, I can even hear what sounds like my rib rubbing or adjusting. Does this sound like something I should be worried about?
