I'm experiencing this strange sensation that starts in my upper stomach and moves up to my throat. It's like this weird anxiety that travels from my stomach to my chest and then to my throat. What could be causing this? Could it be something I need to worry about?

I've been having this weird issue where sometimes I can't swallow my food without drinking water. I used to eat just fine without it, but now it feels like the food gets stuck halfway. As soon as I drink some water, though, I can swallow it down. It's not happening all the time, just sometimes, but it's got me worried. Any idea why this might be happening?

It sounds like you may be experiencing some difficulty with swallowing, also known as dysphagia. This could be due to various reasons such as inflammation, muscle weakness, or narrowing of the esophagus. I recommend you try using a medication like **Omeprazole** 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce any potential inflammation in the esophagus. Additionally, you can try **Metoclopramide** 10mg three times a day before meals to help with the movement of food through the esophagus. Make sure to drink plenty of water with these medications and follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Can you recommend a good probiotic tablet for me and let me know how long I should take it? My doctor suggested I take rifagut 200mg, but I forgot to ask for how many days I should be on it. Could you let me know the duration and dosage guidance?

Culturelle Daily Probiotic (contains Lactobacillus GG) Align Probiotic (contains Bifidobacterium 35624) Florastor Probiotic (contains Saccharomyces boulardii) The duration of probiotic use can vary, but many people take them daily for 1-2 weeks to support gut health, and some may continue longer, depending on their needs. Please speak with your doctor to confirm the correct duration and dosage
