Question

I'm really concerned because I've been experiencing constant stomach irritation and this urge to go to the bathroom repeatedly, but it only results in passing a bit of mucus. This has been going on for the past two years, and I've noticed some slight weight loss over time. All my medical reports have come back normal, my hemoglobin levels are at 14, and CRP is at 1. There aren't any other issues with my body, but there's just a lot of acid in my stomach. I'm not sure what's going on, and I could really use some guidance on how to handle this. What should I do?

Question

So, about a month ago, I got food poisoning, and ever since then, no matter what I eat, I get super bloated with non-stop stomach rumbling. Some days are okay, but mostly, it's just the same issue over and over. It even keeps me up at night because my stomach feels hard and painful. I tried Pepto-Bismol, but it hasn't really helped much. Any advice on what I could do to feel better?
