I'm really curious about whether it's okay to drink water before eating a banana or any fruit. Do you think there's any issue with doing that? Also, is there a recommended amount of time to wait between drinking water and eating fruit?

Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you might be experiencing a perianal abscess or a thrombosed external hemorrhoid, which can resemble a painful pimple or lump near the anus.
To confirm the diagnosis, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a proctologist.
Avoid self-diagnosis or treatment, as this can lead to further complications.
Apply a warm compress to the affected area to help alleviate pain and discomfort.
Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.
Refrain from straining during bowel movements or sitting for extended periods.

View allWhat can I eat at night to lose weight?
It's not just what you eat at the night that helps in weightloss but the overall calorie intake throughout the day matters. Keep your dinner small, protein rich and light and give 2 hr gap between dinner and bed time.

I'm really struggling with a strong craving to eat raw rice, and I find myself doing it a lot. I've noticed that I've put on weight because of this, and I really want to stop. Could this be happening because I'm lacking something in my diet? What can I do to overcome this craving?
Eating raw rice excessively, a condition known as pica, can be a sign of iron deficiency anemia. To address this issue, you can start taking iron supplements such as Ferrous Sulfate 325mg once daily. Additionally, incorporating iron-rich foods in your diet like spinach, red meat, and fortified cereals can help. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management of your condition.

I'm a bit concerned because I'm underweight, and I've read that warm water with lemon might be good for health, but does it actually lead to weight loss? I'm worried it might not be the best thing for me to start if I'm already trying to put on some weight. Can you help clear this up for me?
no
