I'm really worried about my husband. He's been feeling this weird stickiness around his anus for the past few months and he's also mentioning some light pain around his abdomen that just seems to move around. It's really affecting his mood and he's getting pretty down about it. Are there any home remedies or tips you could suggest for some quick relief?

I'm feeling this strange cold and minty sensation in my throat, and it's been going on for almost a week now. I stopped smoking because I thought that might be causing it, but it's still there. I read somewhere that it might be acid reflux, but I'm not really sure how that would happen. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

stop smoking avoid spicy foods and immediate sleep after taking food

I'm having a weird issue where I don't feel the urge to go for a motion in the morning like I used to. However, by the time evening rolls around, I find myself needing to go. What could be causing this change in my routine? Should I be worried about this sudden shift in my digestive habits?

Adding fiber to your diet increases the weight of your stool and speeds its passage through your intestines. Slowly begin to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables each day. Choose whole-grain breads and cereals..... Exercise most days of the week. Physical activity increases muscle activity in your intestines. Try to fit in exercise most days of the week... Don't ignore the urge to have a bowel movement. Take your time in the bathroom, allowing yourself enough time to have a bowel movement without distractions and without feeling rushed.....

I'm having loose motions and sour burps today, and I remember the same thing happened on Wednesday night, but I also had vomiting then. I thought it was just indigestion at the time, but since it's happening again, I'm a bit worried. Could this be some kind of stomach infection?
