I'm a bit concerned about my recent colonoscopy results. The report mentions bits of colonic mucosa with dense patches of lymphocytes and a diagnosis of non-specific colitis. It also says there's no distortion of cryptitis or crypt abscess, and no granulomas were found. Can you tell me what this all means and suggest a treatment plan?

Based on your colonoscopy report, the diagnosis of non-specific colitis indicates inflammation of the colon without a specific identifiable cause; treatment typically involves symptomatic relief and may include anti-diarrheal medications like loperamide, antispasmodics like dicyclomine, andor probiotics to manage symptoms;

I'm really concerned about my husband. He often struggles with gas and acidity, and it usually takes him a couple of days to feel better. What's really puzzling is that when he has gas, he feels pain behind his ear. I'm having a hard time figuring out what might be causing this gas problem, and I'm wondering if you could help us understand what's going on.

I'm really worried because I've been taking dulcoflex tablets every night, and now it feels like I'm reliant on them. It all started back when I was 18 and dealing with constipation issues. I was also over 100 kg, but then I managed to get down to 75 and have kept it there. I just don't want this to turn into a lifelong dependency. How do I break this habit, and what should I be doing instead for the constipation? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Addiction to any drugchemical can cause the body to develop a physiological dependancy on it. This means that normal bowel movements will become impaired and this can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and dystonia of intestinal musculature. Seek professional help if you are unable to stop the habit on your own.
