I'm wondering why my stool is always loose in the morning. Each day I drink a lot of water right after I wake up, and then have a cup of tea which really makes me want to go to the toilet. I usually drink water before sitting on the toilet to pass stool. Could all this be the reason for my loose stools? What can I do to have a more normal, smooth, and long stool thats easier to pass?

Drinking lots of water, especially on an empty stomach, and consuming tea in the morning may contribute to loose stools; to achieve normal, smooth, and well-formed stools, try the following: drink water in moderation, avoid drinking water immediately before passing stools, eat a balanced breakfast to help firm up stools, incorporate fiber-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains), exercise regularly, and consider reducing or avoiding morning tea or switching to herbal tea to minimize caffeine's laxative effect.

I've been getting these sharp, quick pains in my lower chest, kinda like a prick behind my rib near the chest area. I've gone through a whole bunch of tests like the treadmill test, ECG, coronary calcium scoring, and lots of blood tests for heart stuff. Also did an endoscopy and got tests on urine, serum, stool, and more blood work, but nothing's been pinpointed by the doctor yet. I'm on Telma 80mg after breakfast for my BP, which is 13590, and Pantocid 40mg on an empty stomach before breakfast. I've been taking these for two months, but the pain still comes and goes, though a bit less often after meals and pops up randomly through the day. Could you give me some guidance on what this might be or what I should do next?

-It sounds like youve undergone thorough testing, and it's good to know that nothing major has been detected. The pain you're experiencing could be related to acid reflux or muscle strain, especially since it's worse after eating. If the pain persists

I've been having loose motions since early this morning and I've already had two bouts of watery stools. Can you suggest any medicine? I wonder if it's because I ate some tomato-based curry outside yesterday. I've just moved to Mumbai a couple of days ago.

I've been experiencing some discomfort and I'm really seeking some advice. After eating, my stomach feels bloated and no matter what I do, it doesn't seem to go away. I've consulted an Ayurveda doctor before and they mentioned I have high pitta and vata, but I'm still dealing with these issues. It feels like even after I go to the toilet, it's incomplete and I'm often back there soon after. My intestine area just doesn't feel right. I've also been sweating a lot, feeling tired and struggling with low concentration. My face seems much darker than the rest of my body and my skin is really dry and wrinkled. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on with my body and how I can find some relief. What could be causing all of this?
