I'm dealing with recurring blood in my stool and was recently told by my general physician that I have a chronic anal fissure. I don't experience any pain, but the sight of blood is making me really anxious. Is this something normal with a chronic fissure, or should I be more concerned? What steps should I take next?

View allI've been having some digestive issues and I'm wondering if eating corn could be causing me constipation. I eat corn pretty often and would love to know if there's a natural remedy that could help with this. Any advice?
Corn is generally a great source of nutrition and fibre for the body, however, anything can be harmful when taken in extreme excess. Constipation can be relieved by taking stool softeners and laxatives such as Duphalac syrup or Dulcolax tablets.

I'm a bit worried because both my direct bilirubin and total bilirubin levels are high according to my blood tests. I took some medication for about 5 days, and everything seemed normal again. But then I had one beer at a friend's party, and now both bilirubin levels are elevated again. Also, I've been getting a light fever in the evening or at night. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
Elevated direct and total bilirubin levels, which normalized with medication but increased again after consuming alcohol, may indicate liver dysfunction or sensitivity, and the recent onset of low-grade evening fevers could suggest an underlying infection or inflammation; consider consulting a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for a comprehensive evaluation, including liver function tests, imaging studies, and potentially a liver biopsy, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

I'm having this awful pain in my upper abdomen, right chest, and back whenever I breathe or move, and I think it might be due to gastric issues. Do you have any advice or remedies that could help with this?
For gastric-related pain in the upper abdomen, right chest, and back, exacerbated by breathing or movement, consider the following remedies: avoid trigger foods, eat smaller, frequent meals, and adopt a low-fat diet; try over-the-counter antacids, acid reducers, or proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole; practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, yoga, or meditation to reduce stress;
