I'm dealing with IBS and it's been tough figuring out how to manage it. I'm really trying to avoid junk food and dairy, but does this mean I have to stick with that forever? Are there any other ways to relieve the bloating, like maybe some tablets or something? How long does it usually take for symptoms to start improving?

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a chronic condition and there is no definite cure for it. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life. It varies from person to person, but it may take several weeks to months to see improvement with treatment. Having IBS mean that avoiding junk foods, milk items for the rest of the life? It is recommended to avoid trigger foods that worsen IBS symptoms, such as junk foods and dairy products. For bloating relief, you can try over-the-counter simethicone tablets

View allI'm having this really troubling issue where every time I eat something spicy, I end up with this horrible acid and gas buildup. It feels like the back of my head is going to explode, and the pain just doesn't go away until I vomit everything I've eaten. This sometimes lasts for hours. What's going on, and what can I do about it?

I've just found out that I've got hemorrhoids and I'm only 17, so it's my first time dealing with them. Something odd has happenedwhen the hemorrhoids appeared, I noticed a bunch of pimples showing up around my butt and thighs. I usually get one or two pimples on my butt every few months, but now it's more like 20! Do you think this could be connected to the hemorrhoids somehow? It's kinda freaking me out and I'm not sure what to do. Any advice would be really appreciated.

I have a gall bladder stone measuring 19.7 mm and I really don't want to go through surgery are there any effective home remedies that can help dissolve or break it down naturally? What options do I have besides surgery?
Gallbladder stones of nearly 20 mm are quite large and unlikely to dissolve with home remedies. Unfortunately, there are no proven natural treatments to break down such big stones safely. You can discuss with your doctor about non-surgical options like oral bile acid therapy, but these take months and work mainly for smaller cholesterol stones. Close monitoring and surgical removal remain the most effective and safest approach.
