I'm having trouble with hard stools. I ate some bread and pizza, and since then, I've been dealing with chronic constipation. It kinda feels like there's something really stuck in my colon. Can you suggest a practical and lasting solution for this?

To relieve your constipation and prevent it from becoming a long-term issue, focus on:

Increasing fiber (fruits, vegetables, whole grains). Drinking more water. Exercising regularly. Avoiding processed foods that can contribute to constipation. Trying natural laxatives or gentle over-the-counter remedies if necessary. If your symptoms persist or worsen, dont hesitate to reach out to a doctor

I don't know what's going on, but every morning I wake up feeling like I'm going to puke. No matter what I try to eat or drink, even if it's just milk, I end up throwing up. It's really tough because I can't stand any food smells early in the day. Do you have any ideas on how I can stop this from happening?

It sounds like you may be dealing with morning sickness or a digestive issue. Try having small sips of water or ginger tea in the morning before any food, and avoid strong smells. If this continues, its best to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions.

I'm feeling this strange cold and minty sensation in my throat, and it's been going on for almost a week now. I stopped smoking because I thought that might be causing it, but it's still there. I read somewhere that it might be acid reflux, but I'm not really sure how that would happen. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

stop smoking avoid spicy foods and immediate sleep after taking food

I'm a bit concerned about the mild fatty infiltration of my liver and the multiple lipomas found in my recent ultrasound. Also, my blood test showed Bilirubin at 1.58 mgdL, SGPT at 57 UL, and SGOT at 36 UL. I drink alcohol about once a week and my doctor prescribed ME12 OD tablets due to a low vitamin B12 level of 232 pgmL. Could taking this B12 supplement affect my liver condition negatively? Would love your advice.

The prescribed ME12 OD tablet, containing vitamin B12, is unlikely to have a negative impact on your liver condition, as vitamin B12 deficiency can actually exacerbate liver damage; in fact, correcting the deficiency may help improve liver function, and the mild fatty infiltration of the liver and elevated SGPT levels may benefit from vitamin B12 supplementation.
