I'm having a real rough time with loose motion that just doesnt seem to go away. It's like my body's not digesting food properly. I tried taking O2 Tablets and Pan 40, and they seemed to help for a little bit, but now the problem is back. Every time I feel the urge, I end up with loose stools again. What should I do?

I'm having some issues with my stomach. It's been feeling upset, and I'm getting these sour burps. Plus, my stomach just feels really full, like nothing's moving right. I'm not sure if I should take any medicine for it, or if eating something right now would help or make it worse. Could you advise on what I should do?

My wife went through gall bladder surgery back in 2014 for acute gall stone pancreatitis. Since then, all her blood tests and ultrasounds have come back normal, but she still sometimes gets really bad leg pain at night and in the morning. On top of that, she deals with loose motions and a burning stomach about once a week. Do you have any idea what could be causing these issues and how we can help her feel better?

Your wife's symptoms of severe leg pain at night and morning, along with weekly episodes of loose motions and burning stomach, could be related to her previous gallstone pancreatitis or gallbladder removal surgery; possible causes include pancreatic insufficiency, bile salt diarrhea, or fat malabsorption; consider consulting a gastroenterologist for further evaluation
