I'm having a problem where I need to go to the bathroom 2 to 3 times every morning, and it's not a complete bowel movement. This has been happening since I was born. Whenever I have to leave the house early, I take an Eldoper tablet to prevent more bathroom trips. I'm worried if taking Eldoper could seriously affect my liver. How should I handle this situation?

I've had air stuck in my throat for several months and I'm burping a lot. Usually, it goes away, but tonight there's this pressure that's not letting up. When I drink water, it seems to help for just a moment, but then the air comes right back up. It's really making it hard for me to sleep, and I feel like I can't breathe properly with all this air stuck there. What could be going on?

That could be Gastritis,no need to worry avoid spicy foods visit Gastroenterologist for appropriate treatment.

I'm experiencing a clear, sticky discharge from my anus, and it's got a pretty bad smell. I've also had loose stools for months. What could be causing this?

the transparent, sticky, and foul-smelling anal discharge, accompanied by loose stools for several months, could be caused by gastrointestinal infection, anal fistula or abscess, hemorrhoids, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), malabsorption, or dietary factors, and it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist or proctologist for a thorough examination and diagnosis.
