I'm really struggling with having frequent bowel movements, like 4 to 5 times a day, especially after eating. I used to have heartburn too, but that got better with some meds. Now, it's all about this diarrhea issue. Every time I eat, I have to rush to the washroom several times, and it's really impacting my daily life. I'm embarrassed around friends, can't travel, and find it hard to eat properly. It's unpredictable, and as soon as I feel the urge, I have to go. I recently had some tests done at AIG, and everything seemed okay except for a vitamin D deficiency of 8.6 ngml. Ive been to so many doctors, but I still can't find a solution, and it's really stressing me out. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been taking cremaffin plus syrup for her constipation and piles for like three and a half months now. But lately, she's been making these odd stomach noises at night, like "doorrr doorrr," and now she's got diarrhea since yesterday. Is it safe for her to keep taking the syrup with diarrhea, or should she maybe lower the dose?
, it's recommended to stop or reduce the dose of Cremaffin Plus syrup temporarily if your mom is experiencing diarrhea, as the syrup is a laxative and may exacerbate diarrhea; instead, encourage her to stay hydrated with electrolyte-rich fluids, and consider an antidiarrheal medication like loperamide if advised by her doctor.

Got my blood test results and I'm a bit worried. It shows high bilirubin and low levels of vitamin D and B12. Can you help me understand what all this means? Should I be concerned about these results, and what steps should I consider taking next?
Elevated bilirubin levels may indicate liver dysfunction or hemolysis, while low Vitamin D and B12 levels can cause fatigue, weakness, and neurological issues; consider consulting your healthcare provider to discuss potential underlying causes, such as liver disease, anemia, or malabsorption, and to determine the best course of action for addressing these deficiencies and abnormal lab results.
