I'm wondering if having a bowel movement 3 or 4 times a day is something I should be worried about. Could this be a sign of a stomach problem, or is this totally normal?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Passing stool 3 to 4 times a day can be normal for some people, especially if the stools are well-formed and you're not experiencing any discomfort or other symptoms like bloating, pain, or diarrhea. However, if you notice any changes in consistency, color, or feel unwell, its a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues.

I've been having this really uncomfortable acid reflux where I feel like throwing up or actually do after eating. I recently saw a doctor, who asked me to get a Bilirubin test. The results showed Bilirubin Total at 1.84 (range is 0.2 to 1.3) and Bilirubin Direct at 1.05 (range is 0.0 to 0.30). The doctor said it's Jaundice, but I'm not sure about that. Could you check out my report and tell me what the symptoms of Jaundice typically are?
Jaundice can result from high bilirubin levels, and elevated direct bilirubin often points to liver or bile duct issues. However, your symptoms like acid reflux and vomiting could indicate something different, such as gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD), or another digestive issue. It is important to follow up with your doctor to rule out any serious conditions and to confirm a diagnosis. If you have additional symptoms like yellowing of the skin or eyes, or if your discomfort worsens, it would be critical to seek medical attention promptly.

I've been having this issue where I end up vomiting just saliva every morning after I brush my teeth or drink water. I tried taking aciloc rd, but it's not helping at all. Any ideas on what I should do or what might be causing this?
Your morning vomiting of saliva, also known as hypersalivation or morning nausea, could be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
