I felt a hard lump in the back of my throat, kind of like a bone, and I can touch it with my finger. I have Achalasia, and it's been really tough for me to eat and drink because of the pain. Do you think this lump is related to that, or could it be something I should be worried about?

I'm experiencing loose motion and some pain in my lower abdomen for around 36 hours now. I've also been having some gastric problems over the past few months. I do a lot of bike rides and spend long hours sitting and working on my laptop. Can you please suggest what might help?

It sounds like your gastric issues might be worsening, possibly due to sitting for long periods or stress from travel. To ease your symptoms, try to stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals, and consider using a heat pad for abdominal pain. If the discomfort persists or worsens, its best to see a doctor for further evaluation.

Can someone help me with understanding if radish, especially the white kind, is okay for acidity issues? A friend mentioned radish juice could help with my constipation, but since it has a spicy taste, I'm worried it might actually cause more acidity.
