I'm a bit puzzled about something my doctor mentioned during my check-up. They said I had a "soft abdomen." What exactly does that mean? Is it something I should be worried about or follow up on?

View allFor a couple of years now, I've been dealing with having to go to the toilet about 5 or 6 times a day. There's no stomach pain, but there's this discomfort that makes me feel better temporarily after going. There's no pain or burning when using the toilet. What might this be about, and could you suggest some solutions?
Sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). I recommend trying a combination of dietary and lifestyle changes to help manage your symptoms. Increase your fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Drink plenty of water and avoid trigger foods such as caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods. Regular exercise and stress management techniques can also be helpful. Additionally, you can try over-the-counter antidiarrheal medications to help control your bowel movements. If your symptoms persist, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been having this weird pulsating sensation in my stomach right below my chest, and it seems to get stronger whenever I eat, drink, or even just do some tasks. Im really curious and a bit worried about what's causing it. I've already gone through a USG abdomen scan and an ECG TMT, and both came back normal. Can you help me figure out what might be going on? I've got my reports right here if that helps.

Is drinking ENO powder for the last 30 days bad for my health? I've been using it daily and I'm a bit concerned about whether it's safe to keep taking. Could it have any long-term effects?
It is not advisable to use Eno powder for prolonged durations. It can cause bloating and erructations as well as disturbances in the normal gut flora due to change in intestinal PH.
