I've been dealing with this hiccup problem for the last three days, and someone suggested I should take liefen 10 mg tablets three times a day. I'm really curious if this medication will actually help me. Should I be taking it before meals or after?

View allMy wife went through gall bladder surgery back in 2014 for acute gall stone pancreatitis. Since then, all her blood tests and ultrasounds have come back normal, but she still sometimes gets really bad leg pain at night and in the morning. On top of that, she deals with loose motions and a burning stomach about once a week. Do you have any idea what could be causing these issues and how we can help her feel better?
Your wife's symptoms of severe leg pain at night and morning, along with weekly episodes of loose motions and burning stomach, could be related to her previous gallstone pancreatitis or gallbladder removal surgery; possible causes include pancreatic insufficiency, bile salt diarrhea, or fat malabsorption; consider consulting a gastroenterologist for further evaluation

I've been having water stool discharge for the past three days and tried some medicines, but nothing seems to help. Is there anything else I can do or try? I'm starting to get worried and would love some advice.
It sounds like youve been struggling with persistent watery stools despite trying various medications. It's important to consider the possibility of an infection or other underlying issue, so I recommend visiting a healthcare professional for further evaluation and targeted treatment. Stay hydrated and continue monitoring your symptoms in the meantime.

I'm curious about drinking water and sleeping; does drinking water before taking a nap or going to sleep at night affect digestion? How long should I wait between drinking water and sleeping to avoid any issues?
It is generally fine to sleep after drinking water, both during the day or at night, as long as you don't drink excessive amounts right before lying down. Ideally, it's best to wait 30 minutes to an hour after drinking water before going to bed to avoid discomfort or indigestion. Drinking moderate amounts of water does not typically cause digestive problems, but drinking too much right before sleep can sometimes lead to bloating or frequent urination during the night.
