I'm experiencing a rumbling noise in my upper abdomen for the past three days, and it's happening whether I eat or not. But my bowel movements are normal, just once a day without any loose motion. It's starting to worry me a bit. Could this be something to be concerned about?

I've been having issues with acidity and I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it. I have milk, honey, chapati bhaji, rice, and idli sambhar regularly. Can you help me figure out if any of these foods could be contributing to my acidity problems and if I should avoid them?

To control acidity, consider avoiding or reducing the following items from your daily diet: none of the listed foods are inherently acidic, but chapati bhaji (if the bhaji is spicy or made with acidic ingredients) and Sambhar (if it contains acidic ingredients like tomatoes or citrus) might exacerbate acidity; however, the primary culprit is likely something not listed; also, consider avoiding or reducing other common acidity triggers like citrus fruits, tomatoes, spicy or fatty foods, caffeine, and carbonated drinks.

I've been having this abdominal pain in my lower groin area, and it seems to get worse when I feel like I need to pass stool, which has been coming out black. There's also a lot of gas and I feel hungry, but every time I eat, I feel an immediate urge to use the bathroom again. It's been a bit worrying, and Im wondering what could be causing it?

Try to identify and avoid the foods that affect you the most. Foods that cause gas problems . Try cutting back on fried and fatty foods.Often, bloating results from eating fatty foods. Fat delays stomach emptying and can increase the sensation of fullness. Reduce your use of dairy products. Try using low-lactose dairy foods, such as yogurt, instead of milk. Try smaller portions-Many of the foods that can cause gas are part of a healthy diet. So, try eating smaller portions of problem foods to see if your body can handle a smaller portion without creating excess gas. Eat slowly, chew your food thoroughly and don't gulp.

I'm really stressed out about my health right now. I've been dealing with hemorrhoids and started taking Himalaya Pilex tablets because I heard they could help. I was taking two tablets, twice a day, but after 14 days, my hemorrhoids got worse instead of better. Plus, I've noticed the nerves in my arms and legs are swollen, I'm hearing noises in my ear, and my TSH levels jumped to 9.2 from normal. I've stopped taking the Pilex tablets, but the swelling and noise in my ear keep getting worse. I'm really worried and looking for advice on how to stop the effects and what I should do next. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Your symptoms may be multifactorial and could involve both a side effect from the Pilex tablets and a potential thyroid issue. Stopping the medication was a good first step, but a thorough evaluation by a doctor is essential to rule out other health concerns and guide you on the next steps for treatment. It's crucial to monitor your thyroid function and address any potential underlying issues. Please get medical attention as soon as possible.
