I'm experiencing some weird stomach issues and I'm a bit concerned. I used to have a stomach ulcer, which is thankfully better now, but for the past few months, my stomach's been gurgling a lot. I also feel really full and get a ton of gas after eating. It's like I can actually feel the gas forming, and there's this constant growling sound in my stomach that only seems to go away when I have a full meal. It's at its worst when I'm hungry. On top of that, my stool has been green and soft most of the time. I used to take pantotab every morning for my ulcer, but I stopped because it was making me super drowsy. Any idea what's going on? I'm kinda worried.

Your symptoms of constant stomach gurgling, feeling full after eating, gas formation, and green, soft stools, especially after recovering from a stomach ulcer, may indicate issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), or gastroparesis, and the drowsiness you experienced from Pantoprazole (Pantotab) tablets may be a side effect, so it's essential to consult your gastroenterologist to discuss your symptoms,

My mom has severe burning in her rectum but no blood in her stools. We thought it might be piles, but the doctor recommended surgery. What could be the exact issue and is surgery really necessary? Are there any effective ointments or tablets that could help instead?

The burning sensation in the rectum, especially if it's not related to blood in the stool, could be due to several conditions besides hemorrhoids, including anal fissures, proctitis, or even infections. While hemorrhoid surgery is sometimes necessary, it's not always the first line of treatment and other options should be explored. Topical creams, ointments, and in some cases, oral medications can provide relief and may be sufficient to manage the symptoms without surgery
