I'm dealing with ulcerative colitis and have been on Mesacol OD for about a year now. I'm curious if it's okay to take biotin and omega-3 supplements alongside it. Also, how long typically should someone stay on Mesacol OD?

The ultrasound report indicates "gas distended bowel loops" in your lower abdomen, which means that there is an accumulation of gas in the intestines, causing them to expand. _What does it mean?_ This condition is often related to: 1. _Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)_: A common disorder affecting the large intestine, causing abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel movements. 2. _Functional abdominal pain_: Recurring abdominal pain without any obvious cause. 3. _Gas and bloating_: Swallowing air, eating certain foods, or having food intolerance can lead to gas accumulation. _Why does it occur?_ 1. _Food intolerance_: Lactose, gluten, or high-FODMAP foods can cause gas and bloating. 2. _Eating habits_: Eating too quickly, not chewing food properly, or drinking carbonated beverages can lead to gas accumulation. 3. _Stress and anxiety_: Stress can exacerbate IBS symptoms. _How to cure it?_ 1. _Dietary changes_: Avoid trigger foods, eat smaller meals, and choose low-FODMAP foods. 2. _Probiotics_: Consider taking probiotics to promote gut health. 3. _Stress management_: Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. 4. _Medications_: Your doctor has prescribed Pansec (Pantoprazole) for acid reflux and Meftal Spas (Mefenamic acid) for pain relief.

Is it okay to keep eating soya chunks if I'm dealing with bleeding hemorrhoids? I've been having about 20g of them almost every day as my main protein source, and I'm worried it might be affecting my condition. Should I cut back or avoid them altogether?

I've been having some concerns lately about my digestion. Over the past few days, I've noticed undigested food in my stoolthings like brown rice, pineapples, and papayas. Along with that, I've been dealing with mild abdominal cramps and somewhat solid stools. It's frustrating because I often feel the urge to go, but then nothing really happens. Sometimes, I even see mucus and fat in there too. Could this be IBS? I'm also wondering if it's necessary to get a colonoscopy or endoscopy at my ageI'm 28 and physically active. There's no blood in my stool, but I'm worried about these other symptoms. What do you think?
There could be IBS or any other hepatic conditions,needs evaluation,visit Gastroenterologist for evaluation and appropriate management.
