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.

I've been having some trouble with my anal area lately. It feels like it gets really tight and ends up hurting during bowel movements. It almost feels like the walls are tearing. What could be causing this, and how can I make it better?

The symptoms you're describing, including a narrowing of the anal opening, pain during bowel movements, and anal tears, suggest a possible diagnosis of anal stenosis or anal fissures; consult a gastroenterologist, proctologist, or a general surgeon for a thorough examination, which may include a digital rectal exam, anoscopy, or colonoscopy, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan, which may involve topical creams, stool softeners, or surgical interventions.

I've been dealing with GERD for 3 years now and it's really affecting my breathing. I've been on acid medications but they don't seem to help much - the issue keeps coming back and sometimes gets really bad. Are there any surgical options for this or should I stick to medication?

If GERD symptoms like breathing difficulties persist despite medication, surgical options like Nissen fundoplication may be considered. However, a thorough evaluation by a doctor is crucial to determine the best course of action, as factors like the severity of your GERD, potential complications, and individual health factors need to be assessed
