I'm having a weird issue where I don't feel the urge to go for a motion in the morning like I used to. However, by the time evening rolls around, I find myself needing to go. What could be causing this change in my routine? Should I be worried about this sudden shift in my digestive habits?

Adding fiber to your diet increases the weight of your stool and speeds its passage through your intestines. Slowly begin to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables each day. Choose whole-grain breads and cereals..... Exercise most days of the week. Physical activity increases muscle activity in your intestines. Try to fit in exercise most days of the week... Don't ignore the urge to have a bowel movement. Take your time in the bathroom, allowing yourself enough time to have a bowel movement without distractions and without feeling rushed.....

View allI had surgery for a hiatus hernia two years ago but for the past three months I've been dealing with heartburn and esophagus pain. Is this normal after surgery? I took pantoprazole for a month but I'm not sure if it's the best option for GERD. Can you suggest other medications that might work better? I can't get an endoscopy where I live because the doctors and equipment aren't reliable so I need advice on managing this without that option
Yes, symptoms can recur post-surgery. Try other PPIs like esomeprazole or rabeprazole, or add alginate-based antacids. Avoid large meals, alcohol, and late-night eating. Elevate head while sleeping.
