I'm really curious about this routine I have. After eating breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even just some light snacks in the evening, I almost immediately feel the need to go to the toilet. This happens every time. Plus, every morning, I find myself heading to the toilet first thing and then eating breakfast, only to have to go again. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing this?

Sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as gastrocolic reflex, where eating triggers the urge to have a bowel movement. This is a normal response for many people. However, if you are having frequent bowel movements or if you are experiencing other symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, or changes in stool consistency, it may be worth discussing with your doctor. In the meantime, you can try to manage this by maintaining a healthy diet with plenty of fiber, staying hydrated, and keeping track of any specific food triggers that may be exacerbating your symptoms.

View allI've been dealing with acidity problems for the last 5 years, and it's been really tough. I get these severe stomach aches because of it, and they only seem to go away when I take medicine like meftal spas. I'm really looking for a more permanent solution for this. What can I do?
i understand your concern...try eating several small meals instead of three large ones whenever you can...Avoid foods that irritate your stomach, especially those that are spicy, acidic, fried or fatty... avoid coffee,tea etc... Avoid stress,consider calming activities, such as meditation, yoga etc...sleep with head raised position and have dinner at least 2 hours before sleep..take over pantaprazole 40 mg twice daily before food with above for 15 days.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to get rid of a stone in the liver. Should it be done with laser surgery, regular surgery, or is there another method that works better? I'm kinda worried and would love to know more about the options.
Your vomiting problem for 8 months and elevated SGPT levels of 89 units indicate potential liver damage or disease. The normal range for SGPT is between 7-56 units per liter . *Possible Causes of Elevated SGPT:* - _Liver damage or disease_: Conditions like hepatitis, fatty liver, or liver cirrhosis can cause elevated SGPT levels . - _Medication or toxin exposure_: Certain medications, such as statins, or exposure to toxins can damage liver cells, leading to increased SGPT levels. - _Other medical conditions_: Diabetes, obesity, and heart conditions can also contribute to elevated SGPT levels. *Cure and Treatment:* 1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your doctor to determine the underlying cause of your elevated SGPT levels. 2. *Liver function tests*: Your doctor may recommend additional liver function tests, such as ALT or AST, to confirm the diagnosis. 3. *Medication and lifestyle changes*: Depending on the underlying cause, your doctor may prescribe medication or recommend lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding alcohol and toxins. 4. *Monitor SGPT levels*: Regularly monitor your SGPT levels to ensure they return to normal range.

I've been having slight chest pain on both sides for about a month, along with flank pain, and now abdominal pain on both sides for 56 days. My ultrasound showed acalculous cholecystitis, pancreatitis, and a 3mm kidney stone on the right side. Endoscopy revealed gastritis too. Is there any way to treat cholecystitis without stones? I really don't want to go through surgery.
to understand yr situation kindly share report
