I'm wondering if eating rice might be a problem for me because I've heard rice is naturally cold, and I'm concerned it could affect my health. Could you let me know if it's bad for me and perhaps suggest a diet plan? I'd appreciate your help! What kind of foods would be safe for me to eat?

Rice is not harmful for diabetes, but it should be consumed in moderation, especially white rice. Brown rice or other whole grains are better options. Focus on portion control, balanced meals, and low-GI foods to manage your blood sugar effectively. Always consult with your healthcare provider or a nutritionist for personalized advice, especially if you are managing diabetes or other chronic conditions.

I'm thinking about taking a 2mg vitamin B6 supplement every day, but I'm a bit worried. Could that small amount cause any kind of toxicity or lead to nerve problems like neuropathy? Just want to be sure it's safe before I start. What do you think?

Taking 2mg of vitamin B6 daily is generally considered safe and should not cause toxicity or neuropathy. However, long-term intake of high doses of vitamin B6 (more than 100mg per day) may lead to neurological symptoms such as neuropathy. It is important to stay within the recommended daily allowance to avoid any potential adverse effects.

I'm really curious about whether it's okay to drink water before eating a banana or any fruit. Do you think there's any issue with doing that? Also, is there a recommended amount of time to wait between drinking water and eating fruit?

Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you might be experiencing a perianal abscess or a thrombosed external hemorrhoid, which can resemble a painful pimple or lump near the anus. To confirm the diagnosis, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a proctologist. Avoid self-diagnosis or treatment, as this can lead to further complications. Apply a warm compress to the affected area to help alleviate pain and discomfort. Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. Refrain from straining during bowel movements or sitting for extended periods.
