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
- Unrelated conditions: UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) and undigested food in stool are generally unrelated conditions.
- 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.
- 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
- Complete UTI treatment: Finish the prescribed antibiotic course to clear the E. coli infection.
- Investigate gastrointestinal symptoms: Consult a gastroenterologist or a primary care physician to evaluate the undigested food in stool symptom.
- Dietary and lifestyle changes: Consider keeping a food diary, avoiding trigger foods, and incorporating digestive-friendly foods and habits.

View allI've been really worried since I had this scary episode last night. I was sleeping when I suddenly felt like I was going to vomit, and when I did, I ended up throwing up a lot of blood. It happened four times, and the last one had a dark brown color while the others were dark red. I also had a huge coughing fit. What could be going on? Should I be concerned?

I'm really worried because I noticed blood in my saliva today, and I'm not even coughing. A month ago, I also saw blood after I vomited. What could this mean and what should I do?
Spitting blood in saliva without coughing or vomiting blood can be concerning. This could be due to various reasons such as gum disease, oral trauma, or gastrointestinal issues. Since you have also experienced vomiting with blood in the past, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. You may need to undergo further investigations such as endoscopy to determine the cause of the bleeding. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter antacids like Omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to help reduce stomach acid and protect the stomach lining. However, it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and management plan.

I swallowed warm food too quickly and now my esophagus is really hurting every time I cough or try to eat or drink something. Is this normal, and should I be worried? What can I do to make it stop hurting?
I understand your concern and frustration. The buzzing sound (tinnitus) and tragus pain after earwax removal could be due to: - Ear canal irritation - Middle ear muscle spasms - Temporary nerve sensitivity Consult your ENT doctor again to discuss: - Further examination and treatment - Tinnitus management options (e.g., sound therapy, counseling) - Pain relief measures (e.g., topical anesthetics, warm compresses) Remember, tinnitus can be managed, and symptoms may improve with time and proper care.
