I've been dealing with stomach flu and have been on medication like rcifax 50, enbios, and rablet for about a week. I'm still having loose stools along with bloating and gas. How much longer do you think it'll take to feel better? And what kind of food should I be eating to speed up the recovery?

It can take around 1-2 weeks to fully recover from stomach flu. In addition to the medications you are already taking, you can also consider taking probiotics like Enterogermina to help restore the balance of good bacteria in your gut. For faster recovery, you should focus on eating bland and easily digestible foods such as bananas, rice, applesauce, toast (BRAT diet), boiled potatoes, clear broths, and drinking plenty of fluids like water, herbal teas, and electrolyte-rich drinks. Avoid spicy, fatty, and dairy-rich foods until your symptoms improve.

View allI've been dealing with piles for the past 3 months and it's been painful when I pass urine. I got a colonoscopy done and have the report do you think I need surgery for this?
It's important to consult with a healthcare professional (like a gastroenterologist or surgeon) for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan for your piles. While they can be managed with lifestyle changes and non-surgical treatments, surgery might be necessary in some cases. Painful urination could be related to other issues, so a consultation is crucial to determine the underlying cause and appropriate course of action.

The other night I got pretty drunk and ended up throwing up, but it was this weird black, like coffee ground color vomit. I actually felt okay when I woke up the next morning though. Is this something I should be worried about?
The black ground coffee color vomit you experienced could be due to the presence of blood in your vomit. This can be a sign of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. I recommend you to take Pantoprazole 40mg once daily before breakfast for 2 weeks. If the symptom persists, please consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm experiencing some burning sensations around my chest and it's been going on for about a year now. It comes and goes, but its mostly on my left side and sometimes it even extends to my left hand. I've had an endoscopy, echocardiogram, and X-ray, and everything showed up normal. My doctor mentioned it might just be in my head, but I still feel it almost every day. I'm really not sure what to do at this point. Any ideas or suggestions?
drink warm water , stop spicy , do regular exercises, timely foood
