I'm really into fitness and have been for the past few months. I used to have 5 egg whites a day, but to get more protein, I increased it to 10. I usually eat them after my workout. Lately, I've been having gastric issues and even started experiencing back pain. I heard that these problems could be connected, like maybe the back pain could be because of too much egg white consumption and the gastric issue. Is there any truth to this?

View allI've been experiencing really bad pain during bowel movements, and it lasts for hours afterward. There's no blood in my stool, but it always feels like a pinching sensation inside and there's also itching around my rectum. Can you suggest the best remedy for this?
Loose motions with sour burps can be uncomfortable and concerning. Given your symptoms, it's possible that you're experiencing: _Possible Causes_ 1. _Gastroenteritis_: A viral or bacterial infection that causes stomach inflammation, leading to loose motions and sour burps. 2. _Acid reflux_: Stomach acid flowing back up into the esophagus, causing sour burps and discomfort. 3. _Food poisoning_: Consuming contaminated food or drinks, leading to stomach upset and loose motions. _Complications to Watch Out For_ 1. _Dehydration_: Excessive loose motions can lead to dehydration, especially if you're not drinking enough fluids. 2. _Electrolyte imbalance_: Loss of essential electrolytes like potassium, sodium, and chloride can cause muscle weakness, fatigue, and heart problems. 3. _Persistent stomach pain_: If stomach pain persists or worsens, it may indicate a more serious underlying condition. _Recommendations_ 1. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks. 2. _Bland diet_: Stick to a bland diet of bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet) to help firm up your stool. 3. _Over-the-counter medications_: Consider taking antacids or acid reducers like Tums, Rolaids, or Zantac to help alleviate sour burps. 4. _Consult a doctor_: If your symptoms persist, worsen, or you experience any of the following: - Severe stomach pain - Vomiting blood or black tarry stools - Fever above 101.5F (38.6C) - Signs of dehydration (excessive thirst, dark urine, dizziness)

I've been having narrow stools for about a month now. They're not super thin, but definitely thinner than they used to be. Sometimes they go back to a normal size, but other times they're still pretty narrow. Should I be concerned about this?
It's important to rule out any underlying causes. I recommend you try using a stool softener like Colace (docusate sodium) to help with your symptoms. Take 100mg of Colace orally once a day. Additionally, increase your fiber intake and stay hydrated to promote healthy bowel movements. If your symptoms persist, consider seeing a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

my dad has 11mm gallstones and one stuck in his bile duct the doctor suggested ERCP for the bile duct stone and surgery for the gallbladder stones are there other options besides surgery we're worried and want to explore alternatives
Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
