Jeera water can aid digestion, but for sensitive gut, start with small amounts (14 teaspoon of cumin seeds in 1 liter water) and observe tolerance; drink it 1-2 times a day, ideally after meals or before bedtime, and avoid drinking it on an empty stomach to minimize potential discomfort.

Question

I've been struggling with this issue for months. Whenever I stand for a long time or walk a bit, I get this weird sweaty feeling around my anus, and I notice stains on my underwear that match that pattern. Also, when I poop, there's this white foam in it, and it just won't go away. The doctor had me get a perianal ultrasound, and everything looked fine, probably because they only checked the outside. They also mentioned it wasn't a fistula. I'm at a loss about what to do next. Can you help me figure this out?
