I'm a bit worried because I took NorfloxTZ for my loose motions for 5 days, and on the 5th day, the problem started again. I stopped taking Norflox, but I'm still having loose stools, like two or three times a day. Do you think it's okay to try Metronidazole for this, or is there something else I should do?

Your loose motions have not completely resolved. You can try taking Metronidazole along with a probiotic to help with the loose stools. Make sure to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication. Additionally, continue to stay hydrated and follow a bland diet to help with your symptoms.

I'm 19 years old and recently noticed something strange - my stomach moves in a way that feels like a heartbeat. I'm not sure if it's something that has always been there, but I've only noticed it in the last couple of months. Could this be something normal or should I be worried about it?
it is not related to that

I've been noticing for a while now that whenever I eat, everything tastes way too spicy, and it makes me lose interest after just a few bites. It's like everyone else finds it normal, but for me, it feels like there's too much spice in the food. This has been a thing for the past few years. Also, sometimes when I'm brushing, my gums bleed a bit. Could these things be connected somehow, or is it something I should be worried about?
You may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux, which can cause a sensation of spiciness or burning in the throat or chest after eating spicy foods. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to help with the symptoms. Additionally, for the bleeding gums, you may benefit from using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a gentle toothpaste, as well as incorporating a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine gluconate to help reduce inflammation and bleeding. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult with a dentist or a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.
