I'm really puzzled right now. I recently finished a course of Flagyl for what my gi doctor suspected was giardia since I was having diarrhea, stomach pains, and nausea. So today, I had a plain hamburger with some ketchup and cheetos, and my diarrhea came back for about 2 hours. I'm trying to figure out why this happened. Could it be something about the food I ate, or is there another issue I might be dealing with?

The return of diarrhea after eating could be related to the foods you ate or your bodys ongoing recovery from the giardiasis infection. Monitor your symptoms and adjust your diet accordingly. If symptoms dont improve or if they worsen, consider following up with your doctor to rule out any underlying issues or complications.

View allI'm dealing with diarrhea since this morning and already took a Norflox tablet. For food, I'm sticking to bananas and boiled rice, and I'm hydrating with ORS. Is there anything else I should be doing to feel better?
Swallowing a bone can be uncomfortable. _Possible scenarios:_ 1. _Bone stuck in throat_: The bone might be lodged in your throat, causing pain while eating. 2. _Bone in esophagus or stomach_: The bone may have passed into your esophagus or stomach, causing discomfort or pain. _What to do:_ 1. _Stay calm_: Try to remain calm and avoid panicking. 2. _Drink water_: Drink plenty of water to help the bone pass through your system. 3. _Eat soft foods_: Opt for soft, easy-to-swallow foods like yogurt, scrambled eggs, or mashed bananas. 4. _Avoid solid foods_: Refrain from eating solid foods, especially those that may scratch or irritate your throat or esophagus. _When to seek medical attention:_ 1. _Severe pain_: If you experience severe pain or difficulty swallowing. 2. _Vomiting blood_: If you vomit blood or see blood in your stool. 3. _Difficulty breathing_: If you experience difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. 4. _No improvement_: If your symptoms persist or worsen over time. If you're unsure or concerned, consider consulting a doctor or visiting an emergency room for further evaluation and guidance.

I've been noticing my stomach has this pulsating sensation, especially when I'm sitting or sleeping upright. I've been dealing with IBS and gas, but the pulsating started around 8 months ago and it's got me a bit anxious. It even feels more intense when I start to think about it. It almost feels like a heartbeat. Should I be worried about this?
Pulsation of stomach is not related to IBS. Pulsation can be normally seen in thin build person where you will feel the pulsation at the exact time as the heart beat(there actually exist few microsecond difference but cannot appreciate) Different disease wherein we see the pulsation in stomach are Abdominal Aorta Aneurysm(AAA), vascular malformation, Thyroid disorders and many more for which you will need to do certain investigations.

I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for about 45 days now, almost like phlegm, but its not food. Its really annoying and I keep burping on purpose to try and get rid of this feeling. I Googled my symptoms and found something called globus pharyngis. I went to see another doctor and they gave me an acid reflux gel syrup, but it hasnt helped at all. I'm kind of worried and not sure what to do next. Could you offer some advice or share your thoughts on what might be going on?
Thats usually symptom of GERD try to continue the advised by your doctor ,avoid spicy foods and consume plenty of foods, give some time it will become better.
