I'm noticing some blood when I go to the bathroom and I'm pretty sure it's because I've got a scratch or something in the passage near the exit. It's also really burning when I poop. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you might have a small tear or fissure near your anus, which can cause bleeding and burning during bowel movements. It's important to keep the area clean, avoid straining, and consider using a soothing cream like zinc oxide or a sitz bath. If the bleeding continues or worsens, it's a good idea to consult with a doctor.

View allI've been having this issue where whenever I drink water, it seems to create gas in my stomach, and for a while afterward, I feel this heavy discomfort, almost like my stomach is full. Is this something I should be worried about? Is there something I can do to stop this from happening?
It sounds like you may be experiencing bloating or excess gas in your stomach after drinking water, which could be due to swallowing air (aerophagia) or sensitivity to certain temperature or mineral content in the water. Its advisable to drink water slowly and in smaller sips to minimize discomfort. If the issue persists, a consultation with a gastroenterologist may help identify any underlying conditions.

I've been having gallstones and swelling in my pancreas, and the pain is really bad it goes from my back all the way to the front of my chest. The hospital doctor recommended surgery, but I'm really worried about it. Is surgery the only option, or are there other treatments I could try first? The pain is so severe, and I'm not sure what to do next.
It's understandable to be worried about surgery, especially with the severe pain you're experiencing. While surgery is often recommended for gallstone pancreatitis, there are other treatment options, including a procedure called Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). ERCP is a procedure where a long, thin tube with a camera is inserted into your mouth and guided through your digestive tract to identify and remove gallstones that may be causing the pancreatitis.
