How can I clear my bowels every morning?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated is a great way to regulate digestion. People who support a water flush for colon cleansing recommend drinking six to eight glasses of lukewarm water per day. Also try eating plenty of foods high in fiber & water content. This includes fruits and vegetables like watermelons, tomatoes, lettuce, and celery.

View allI'm having this issue where my stool has undigested food in it for about a month now, and I'm also experiencing a burning feeling when I pee. My urine culture test showed E. Coli, but apparently, the colony count is low. Are these two problems connected? Could the UTI be causing the undigested food situation, or are they unrelated? I'm a bit concerned and would appreciate your thoughts on this.
Possible Causes_ 1. _Musculoskeletal issues_: Strained or pulled muscles in the abdominal or intercostal areas, especially if you've recently increased gym intensity. 2. _Gastrointestinal issues_: Gallbladder problems, liver issues, or gastrointestinal inflammation (e.g., gastritis) could cause discomfort under the right rib. 3. _Other possible causes_: Pneumonia, pleurisy, or costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone) might also contribute to this discomfort. _Whom to Consult_ 1. _Primary Care Physician (PCP)_: - Schedule an appointment with your PCP to discuss your symptoms and medical history. - They'll evaluate your overall health and refer you to a specialist if needed. 2. _Gastroenterologist_: - If your PCP suspects a gastrointestinal issue, they might refer you to a gastroenterologist for further evaluation. 3. _Orthopedic Specialist or Sports Medicine Doctor_: - If your PCP believes the discomfort is related to a musculoskeletal issue, they might recommend consulting an orthopedic specialist or sports medicine doctor. _Before Consulting a Doctor_ 1. _Monitor your symptoms_: Keep track of when the discomfort occurs, how long it lasts, and any factors that relieve or exacerbate it. 2. _Gym activities_: Inform your doctor about your gym routine, including any recent changes or intense workouts.

I'm experiencing this mild pain around my ribs on both sides, and it's been bothering me whenever I move. I got a chest X-ray, but the results seemed unclear since it was just black and white. I also struggle a lot with acidity and gastric issues, and there's this burning sensation in the middle of my chest. Plus, the pain seems to extend to my right shoulder, coming from the chest area. I'm a bit worried and not sure what's going on. Could you advise on what might be causing these symptoms and which type of doctor I should see to get this figured out?
X-Rays radiographs are black and white itself. Do not expect colors in that. As of now, take a tab. Rantac 150mg twice a day half an hour before food for 10 days. If it still persists, consult a MD consultant physician in person for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried because both my direct bilirubin and total bilirubin levels are high according to my blood tests. I took some medication for about 5 days, and everything seemed normal again. But then I had one beer at a friend's party, and now both bilirubin levels are elevated again. Also, I've been getting a light fever in the evening or at night. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
Elevated direct and total bilirubin levels, which normalized with medication but increased again after consuming alcohol, may indicate liver dysfunction or sensitivity, and the recent onset of low-grade evening fevers could suggest an underlying infection or inflammation; consider consulting a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for a comprehensive evaluation, including liver function tests, imaging studies, and potentially a liver biopsy, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
