I'm experiencing some shortness of breath along with constant yawning, and I've been feeling pain on the left side of my back muscles. On top of that, my stomach feels bloated with gas, and I'm dealing with constipation. Is there a connection between these symptoms, and should I be concerned or consider seeing a doctor?

I'm a bit worried because every time I take Rekool D, it feels like the capsule gets stuck in my throat. After a while, I start to feel acid rising up into my throat, and its really uncomfortable. Some days I have a normal bowel movement, but other times its a bit mild. This has been going on since April, and I'm unsure what's happening with my body. Could you help me understand what might be going on?

Your symptoms seem to be a combination of possible acid reflux (GERD) and issues with swallowing the Rekool D medication, possibly exacerbated by IBS or digestive sensitivity. It's important to address these issues with your doctor, as they can recommend modifications in your treatment plan or explore further testing to rule out other conditions. Taking the medication with plenty of water, following up with your doctor, and potentially adjusting your diet could help manage your symptoms more effectively.

I've been dealing with Crohn's for 2 years and my recent MRI enterography showed terminal ileum wall thickening of 20mm and proximal ileum dilated to 4.3cm. My doctor is recommending surgery but I'm wondering if medication could still help instead of going straight to surgery

Patient is advised for surgeryand reffered for gastroenterologist.

I'm really struggling with constipation and I've heard Isabgol might help. But I'm not sure how long I need to take it to see real results. Are we talking a few weeks, or could it take several months or even a year to completely get rid of the problem?

Isabgol (psyllium husk) can help alleviate constipation symptoms within 2-7 days, but for optimal results and to establish regular bowel habits, it's recommended to take isabgol consistently for at least 2-3 months, and ideally, as a long-term dietary supplement to support digestive health, under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
