I'm dealing with IBS and was diagnosed with depression about 1.5 years ago. I've been taking fludac 20, but recently I've been having bowel movements 6-7 times a day, and they're fragmented. It's not like diarrhea but it's been going on for 5 days with some stomach cramps. Usually, taking metrogyl 400 clears it up in a day, but this time it's not helping. I started taking norflox tz yesterdaytwice dailyand I'm feeling a little better, but there's still this urge for bowel movement and some cramps. Any thoughts on what might be happening or what else I should do?

View allI've been having this weird fluttering feeling under my left rib cage and I'm not sure what it might be. On top of that, I've been constantly bloated for the past month no matter what I eat or if I don't eat at all. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm dealing with constipation every now and then too. Is there anything I can do to help with this?
It sounds like you might be dealing with digestive issues like bloating, constipation, or possibly even something like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). To ease the symptoms, try eating smaller meals, drinking plenty of water, and considering foods that are easier to digest. If it persists, its a good idea to consult with a doctor for further evaluation.

I've just got my Fibroscan report and it says the median stiffness is 7.9 Kpa. I'm really confused about what this means. Does this indicate I've got fatty liver? Could you help me understand this better and let me know what steps I should take next?
It is a measure of liver stiffness, with higher values suggesting more advanced liver fibrosis. This does not necessarily mean it is due to fatty liver, as there are various causes of liver fibrosis. Based on the fibroscan report, further evaluation is needed to determine the underlying cause of liver fibrosis. I recommend consulting with a gastroenterologist or hepatologist for a comprehensive evaluation and management plan. Treatment may involve lifestyle modifications, medication, or other interventions depending on the underlying cause of liver fibrosis.

I'm worried because I've been having stomach problems for the past month. Every time I eat, I quickly get this gas build-up, and it feels like I constantly need to release it. Plus, my bowel movements have increasedI'm going about 4 to 5 times a day. What could be causing this, and how should I handle it?
