View allI've been dealing with IBS for the past 5 years, and honestly, it's been really tough. The symptoms like bowel discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, and constantly feeling like I need to go to the bathroom but can't, are just exhausting. I've done the endoscopy and colonoscopy, and my doctor confirmed it's IBS. They gave me some meds to try for 15 days, but unfortunately, I didn't feel any better. Is there any way to permanently treat this condition?
While there's no definitive "cure" for IBS, various treatments can help manage symptoms; consider consulting a gastroenterologist for personalized guidance, and explore options like gut-directed hypnotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, peppermint oil capsules, probiotics, fiber supplements, and low-FODMAP diets, which have shown promise in alleviating IBS symptoms, and in some cases, medications like antispasmodics, antidepressants, or laxatives may be prescribed to help manage specific symptoms.

My mom just had some tests done and her SPGT ALT in liver function came back at 56. I'm really trying to understand what this means. Should we be taking any specific steps or actions moving forward?
An elevated SGPT (ALT) level of 56 indicates mild liver damage or inflammation, which can be caused by various factors such as fatty liver, hepatitis, medication side effects, or alcohol consumption; as a next step, consider consulting a gastroenterologis

I'm experiencing a burning sensation in my chest area for about a year now. I've had tests like a 2D echo, endoscopy, and X-rays, but everything seems to come back normal. I've also consulted with gastroenterologists and general physicians, even cardiologists, and they all say there's nothing wrong. But I still have this burning feeling every day. I'm not sure what to do next, and it's really concerning me. Could you offer some advice or ideas on what could be causing this?
drink plenty of water , take tablet pantop for 3 days
