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 really worried about my mom. She's been taking cremaffin plus syrup for her constipation and piles for like three and a half months now. But lately, she's been making these odd stomach noises at night, like "doorrr doorrr," and now she's got diarrhea since yesterday. Is it safe for her to keep taking the syrup with diarrhea, or should she maybe lower the dose?
, it's recommended to stop or reduce the dose of Cremaffin Plus syrup temporarily if your mom is experiencing diarrhea, as the syrup is a laxative and may exacerbate diarrhea; instead, encourage her to stay hydrated with electrolyte-rich fluids, and consider an antidiarrheal medication like loperamide if advised by her doctor.

I'm Nilesh Jain from Mumbai, 35 years old. I don't have diabetes, but I've got cervical spondylosis. Lately, after lunch, I've been having loose motions. It happened yesterday as well, went four times, and noticed my stool was a very dark brown. Could this be a sign of a heart attack?
Loose motion and dark brown stool after lunch are not typical signs of a heart attack. In your case, it may be related to your diet or other gastrointestinal issues. However, it is important to monitor your symptoms and stay hydrated. To address the loose motion, you can take over-the-counter medication like loperamide (Imodium) as directed on the package. If the problem persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing some sharp pain that starts at my belly button and shoots down towards my legs, especially after I clean or put pressure on my belly button. It's so severe that I often need to take the day off to rest. The pain seems to stretch from my navel down to my inner legs and even to my feet. Any idea what might be causing this? It's really starting to worry me.
The sharp pain from your belly button radiating to both legs, triggered by cleaning, pressing, or applying pressure, may indicate an umbilical hernia, umbilical cord granuloma, or omphalitis (navel infection); however, another possible cause is an ilioinguinal nerve entrapment or irritation, which can cause pain in the lower abdomen, groin, and inner thighs; consult a general surgeon or a primary care physician for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
