I'm having some issues with my stomach that have been bothering me for about a year now. Lately, I've noticed that I'm having trouble when it comes to going to the washroom. It's been happening every morning and then again in the afternoon. It's really inconvenient and causing me a lot of discomfort. Could there be an underlying issue here, and what can I do to address this?

I've had the ARMS procedure for GERD and acidity, but I still get constant burping. If I try to hold in a burp, I end up vomiting right away. Is there any permanent solution for this, maybe even surgery or another treatment? It's really affecting my daily life.

Persistent burping after ARMS may be due to altered gastric motility‚Äîfurther testing like manometry or fundoplication revision may help; consult a GI motility specialist.

How much papaya should I eat daily to meet my fiber needs and what's the best time to have it for constipation relief I recently had fistula surgery and want to avoid dietary changes can you suggest what works

To meet your fiber needs and potentially aid with constipation after fistula surgery, consuming a portion of papaya daily, such as a small bowl of ripe papaya, can be beneficial. The best time to consume it is likely in the morning or after dinner to help with digestion and regulate bowel movements. Since you're trying to avoid dietary changes, focusing on incorporating papaya into your existing diet is a good approach
