I'm having some trouble with gas, and I think it might be related to the fact that I've been eating a lot of boiled egg whitesabout 5 to 6 every day. Can they actually be causing this gas issue? If they are, is there something I can do to help with the gas? And what if I decide to switch to liquid egg whites insteadwould that make any difference?

Interesting combination of symptoms.

Relationship Between UTI and Undigested Food in Stool

  1. Unrelated conditions: UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) and undigested food in stool are generally unrelated conditions.
  2. E. coli in urine culture: The presence of E. coli in your urine culture confirms a UTI, but the low colony count might indicate a mild infection.
  3. Undigested food in stool: This symptom could be related to:
    • Gastrointestinal issues (e.g., IBS, gastroparesis, or malabsorption)
    • Dietary factors (e.g., food intolerance, high-fiber diet, or inadequate digestive enzymes)
    • Other medical conditions (e.g., celiac disease, Crohn's disease, or pancreatic insufficiency)

Next Steps

  1. Complete UTI treatment: Finish the prescribed antibiotic course to clear the E. coli infection.
  2. Investigate gastrointestinal symptoms: Consult a gastroenterologist or a primary care physician to evaluate the undigested food in stool symptom.
  3. Dietary and lifestyle changes: Consider keeping a food diary, avoiding trigger foods, and incorporating digestive-friendly foods and habits.

Experiencing gas problems again even after taking Nexpro 40 as my doctor recommended. Should I keep taking it, or do I need something else? I'm also having this weird, pinching chest pain on both sides sometimes. It's not severe, but I'm worried if it's just gas or something more serious. Any advice?
