I'm really worried because I've been taking dulcoflex tablets every night, and now it feels like I'm reliant on them. It all started back when I was 18 and dealing with constipation issues. I was also over 100 kg, but then I managed to get down to 75 and have kept it there. I just don't want this to turn into a lifelong dependency. How do I break this habit, and what should I be doing instead for the constipation? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Addiction to any drugchemical can cause the body to develop a physiological dependancy on it. This means that normal bowel movements will become impaired and this can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and dystonia of intestinal musculature. Seek professional help if you are unable to stop the habit on your own.

View allI have gallbladder stones and my doctor prescribed FORTIBILE300 for 3 months. Will this medicine actually dissolve the stones or will I eventually need surgery? I'm worried about whether this treatment is effective long-term or just a temporary fix.

I had an ultrasound 5 years ago that showed two small gallstones in my gallbladder. Now I've had another ultrasound because I've been having trouble digesting food, and it says my gallbladder is collapsed. I never had surgery to remove it, so why would it show up as collapsed? What does this mean for my digestion issues?
A contracted or collapsed gallbladder, even without a prior surgical removal, can be caused by various factors, including chronic inflammation, gallstones, or the inability of the gallbladder to contract and release bile. While the ultrasound finding might suggest a gallbladder issue, it's essential to correlate it with your digestive symptoms and other diagnostic tests to determine the underlying cause and its impact on your digestion

I've been feeling strange for the past couple of months, and it's happened twice already. I get this itchy feeling in my throat, and there's a heaviness right in the middle of my chest and the tube that leads from my throat to my stomach. It gets really uncomfortable. Breathing feels really tight, although it's still okay, but then I also get this uneasy feeling in my stomach. After about a week, it settles down, but then I start having pain in my lower abdomen. I used pantocid before, which helped, but now I'm confused. Is this a gastric issue, something heart-related, or maybe a breathing problem? Can you offer any advice?
