I'm experiencing some discomfort with itching and occasionally a burning sensation after I pass stool, which lasts for a few hours before it settles down. But the itching tends to come and go. I've been using Betadine cream on my anus, and it seems to provide some relief. Is it safe for me to keep doing this, or should I be considering something else? Could you provide some guidance on this?

View allI'm having some trouble with gas, and I think it might be related to the fact that I've been eating a lot of boiled egg whitesabout 5 to 6 every day. Can they actually be causing this gas issue? If they are, is there something I can do to help with the gas? And what if I decide to switch to liquid egg whites insteadwould that make any difference?
Interesting combination of symptoms. _Relationship Between UTI and Undigested Food in Stool_ 1. _Unrelated conditions_: UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) and undigested food in stool are generally unrelated conditions. 2. _E. coli in urine culture_: The presence of E. coli in your urine culture confirms a UTI, but the low colony count might indicate a mild infection. 3. _Undigested food in stool_: This symptom could be related to: - Gastrointestinal issues (e.g., IBS, gastroparesis, or malabsorption) - Dietary factors (e.g., food intolerance, high-fiber diet, or inadequate digestive enzymes) - Other medical conditions (e.g., celiac disease, Crohn's disease, or pancreatic insufficiency) _Next Steps_ 1. _Complete UTI treatment_: Finish the prescribed antibiotic course to clear the E. coli infection. 2. _Investigate gastrointestinal symptoms_: Consult a gastroenterologist or a primary care physician to evaluate the undigested food in stool symptom. 3. _Dietary and lifestyle changes_: Consider keeping a food diary, avoiding trigger foods, and incorporating digestive-friendly foods and habits.

I've been told I have multiple small gallstones of different sizes. Can Ayurvedic medicine really dissolve them completely so I won't need surgery? I'm worried about the stones causing problems later if they don't go away
Oral dissolution therapy. Ursodiol link (Actigall) and chenodiol link (Chenix) are medicines that contain bile acids that can break up gallstones. These medicines work best to break up small cholesterol stones. You may need months or years of treatment to break up all stones.
