Experiencing gas problems again even after taking Nexpro 40 as my doctor recommended. Should I keep taking it, or do I need something else? I'm also having this weird, pinching chest pain on both sides sometimes. It's not severe, but I'm worried if it's just gas or something more serious. Any advice?

Consult your doctor before adding biotin and omega-3 supplements to your Mesacol OD treatment for ulcerative colitis.
- Biotin: Generally safe, but may interact with Mesacol OD.
- Omega-3: May help reduce inflammation, but monitor for interactions.
Regarding Mesacol OD duration:
- Typically prescribed for 6-12 months.
- Long-term use (over 1 year) should be monitored by your doctor due to potential side effects.
Schedule a follow-up with your doctor to discuss:
- Supplement interactions
- Mesacol OD treatment duration
- Adjusting your treatment plan as needed

View allI'm really worried about the multiple calculi in my gallbladder lumen and the largest one is 13mm. The c.b.d is 3.2mm and it's visualized up to its retro pancreatic portion. There's no obvious intraductal calculus seen. What does all this mean? Should I be concerned about the size of the calculi or its location? What are the chances these will cause complications, and what steps should I take next?
The presence of multiple gallstones is identified, but there is no blockage of the bile ducts. If you're not experiencing symptoms, your doctor might suggest a wait-and-see approach, but if you do have symptoms or complications, surgery to remove the gallbladder may be necessary.

I'm really curious about finding the best probiotic available in India since my digestion has been really sluggish lately. I've heard that probiotics can help improve digestion, so Id love to know which brands are recommended and effective. Can you suggest a good one?
For sluggish digestion, **VSL#3**, **Probiotic Sachets by Darolac**, or **Eubiotics** are highly recommended probiotics available in India. These contain multiple strains of beneficial bacteria to support gut health. Always consult your doctor before starting, especially if you have any medical conditions.

I've been having mucus in my stool every day for over a month now. I used to have IBS and was dealing with constipation, but I'm feeling better since I started using Patanjali's Divya Churna, and my stool is passing more easily. I'm really worried about the mucus, though. Also, I've been experiencing a lot of hair fall and have lost more than 60% of my hair. Can you please help me figure out how to get rid of the mucus in my stool and stop the hair fall?
