Question 2

My partner has had constant belching, bloating, and loose motions since yesterday gone to the bathroom over 12 times already. He can't leave the house because he's recovering from sepsis surgery. Is there any way to get a doctor to come to our place? What could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Your partner's symptoms of constant belching, bloating, and loose motions, particularly the frequency of bathroom visits (over 12 times in a day), warrant seeking medical attention. These symptoms could indicate a variety of conditions, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), food poisoning, or other infections. A doctor can properly diagnose the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.

Question 3

I'm dealing with ongoing dysentery and constipation issues and nothing I've tried is working. Spicy foods just make it worse by causing a lot of acid and more dysentery. Even meds like O2 aren't helping. I've started using Aloe Vera juice and green tea to see if it makes a difference. I'm feeling really weak and am losing weight. What else can I try or what should I do to improve my situation?

Accepted Answer

For chronic dysentery and constipation, you can try taking Loperamide (Imodium) for dysentery and a stool softener like Docusate Sodium (Colace) for constipation. In addition to Aloe Vera juice and green tea, you can also try probiotics like Align or Culturelle to help with your digestive issues. Make sure to stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet with plenty of fiber. If you continue to feel weak and lose weight, it is important to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
