I'm dealing with a lot of saliva production, especially in the mornings when I wake up. Within minutes my mouth gets full of saliva, and I have to keep spitting throughout the day to manage it. It's a bit better after I brush, but it's still an issue. What's going on here, and how can I get this under control?

Excessive saliva production, also known as hypersalivation, can have various causes such as medication side effects, GERD, infections, or neurological conditions. In your case, since the issue improves after brushing, it could be related to oral hygiene. I recommend using a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine gluconate 0.12% solution twice daily after brushing. Additionally, you can try using tablets containing atropine sulfate 0.5mg to reduce saliva production. If the problem persists, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with vomiting issues for the past 15 years where only fluids come out, not food. Even after getting fundoplication surgery based on doctor's advice, the problem hasn't gone away. It usually lasts for two days once it starts in the morning. What could be causing this and is there anything else I can try?
Gastroenterologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with mucus in my stool for the past six months, and it's getting worse. Sometimes it clears up, but other times it gets quite excessive. I'm also constantly experiencing stomach pain. I've already had a blood test, and everything came back normal. I'm really worried and would love some advice on what I should do next. What's going on with me?
The symptoms you are experiencing, such as mucus in stool and stomach pain, could be indicative of a gastrointestinal issue. One possible cause for these symptoms is inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). I recommend you to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can try taking a probiotic supplement like "Align" once daily to help support your gut health. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter antispasmodic medication like "Buscopan" as needed for stomach pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and follow a healthy, balanced diet rich in fiber.
