Question 2

I've been having this issue where my stomach starts hurting right after meals, and I feel like I have to run to the bathroom with really loose stools.

Based on your symptoms, you may benefit from taking Imodium to help with your loose stools and stomach discomfort. Imodium is an over-the-counter medication that can help control diarrhea. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

Question 3

I've been dealing with gastric trouble for 4-5 years, but this time it's really bad. I get gas in my stomach no matter what I eat, like even if it's just papaya or any other food. Do you have any advice or solutions for this?

Accepted Answer

You are experiencing chronic gastric issues. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (brand name Gas-X) 125mg after meals to help relieve gas in your stomach. It is also important to avoid foods that trigger gas such as beans, cabbage, and carbonated drinks. Make sure to drink plenty of water and practice stress-reducing activities like yoga or meditation.

I have 8mm gallstones and my doctor prescribed udilive 300 and zentac 300 for 3 months. Is there any way to get rid of gallstones without surgery? I'm really hoping to avoid an operation if possible.

Gallstones under 1 cm may sometimes dissolve with medications like ursodeoxycholic acid, but surgery remains the definitive cure to prevent future attacks.
