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.

My wife has been dealing with gall bladder stone pain since February 25th and the stone is 18.3mm in size. Is there any way to dissolve or break it without surgery, especially since she just had a baby 4 months ago and underwent a delivery operation last November? We're really worried about another surgery so soon and want to explore all options first
A gallbladder stone measuring 18.3 mm (or 1.83 cm) is considered large and carries a higher risk of complications compared to smaller stones. While smaller gallstones often pass unnoticed, larger ones, particularly those over 1 cm, can lead to blockages in the bile ducts, inflammation, and potentially require surgical removal. A stone of this size, combined with other factors like composition, location, and underlying medical conditions, should be evaluated by a doctor to assess the individual risk and determine the best course of action

My dad is having loose motion and vomiting right now, and it all seemed to kick in at the same time. It's really late, and we don't have any medicine at home, plus all the pharmacies are closed. Do you know of any home remedies that might help him feel better?
For loose motion and vomiting, you can try giving your father oral rehydration solution (ORS) to prevent dehydration. You can make ORS at home by mixing 6 teaspoons of sugar and 12 teaspoon of salt in 1 liter of clean water. Make sure he drinks plenty of this solution to stay hydrated. Please consult a doctor in the morning for further evaluation and management.
