I'm currently taking an antibiotic called Mevac after dinner following a full health check. I've been experiencing some digestive issues, like having loose motions once a day for about 50 days now. I'm wondering if starting homeopathy might help with this. Could you give me some advice on what to do?

View allI've been dealing with hard stools and recently got a painful pimple in my butt crack that hurts every time I use the toilet. It went away after about two weeks but seems to have come back after a month. I drink a cup of coffee daily and I've been doing this for the past 8 years. Could coffee be causing this issue? I also have seasonal allergies and have been taking levocetirizine 5mg daily for about 3 years. Could either of these be contributing to my problems?
The recurring painful pimple in the butt crack, accompanied by hard stools, could be related to anal fissures, hemorrhoids, or perianal abscesses, potentially exacerbated by chronic constipation, straining during bowel movements, or irritation from coffee consumption; levocetirizine may also contribute to dry, hard stools, so consider consulting a gastroenterologist

I have several gallstones with the largest one around 5-6mm. Is there any medication that can help dissolve them? I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible. What options do I have?
Small gallstones may dissolve with ursodeoxycholic acid over time, but response varies. Regular monitoring is essential if avoiding surgery.

I'm having some issues with my stomach that have been bothering me for about a year now. Lately, I've noticed that I'm having trouble when it comes to going to the washroom. It's been happening every morning and then again in the afternoon. It's really inconvenient and causing me a lot of discomfort. Could there be an underlying issue here, and what can I do to address this?
It sounds like you're dealing with persistent digestive issues, and it's understandably causing you a lot of discomfort, especially with the frequent trips to the washroom. It might be helpful to consult a doctor to get a clearer diagnosis and explore treatment options to ease your symptoms.
