I'm thinking about starting my day with two boiled eggs on an empty stomach, but I've heard mixed things about it. Some people say it might cause gas. Is it actually safe to eat boiled eggs first thing in the morning, or should I be concerned about digestive issues?

I have a hiatus hernia and it's causing a lot of acidity problems and mouth ulcers. Is there any medicine that can help or is surgery the only option? It's really uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do about it.

Hiatus hernia with reflux and ulcers responds to PPIs (like omeprazole),prokinetics,and lifestyle changes.Surgery (e.g., fundoplication) is for severe or persistent symptoms.

Is it normal to poop 5 times a day?

There is no normal bowel movement. It can range from three times a day to three times a week. However, your normal pattern may be different from these numbers. If you have always been having five bowel movements daily then it is normal pattern for you. But, if this is a new change along with change is stool consistency then you might be having any intestinal infection or disease for which you need to consult a doctor.
