I'm really struggling with this issue where I keep needing to go to the bathroom, even though my stools seem normal. They aren't loose or hard, but the bowel movements are way too frequent, especially after I eat. My doctor mentioned it might be IBS. Do you have any advice on how to handle this? It's getting really frustrating and it's affecting my daily life. What can I do to make it better?
To manage your frequent stool passing issue, which may be indicative of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), try the following: maintain a food diary to track trigger foods; eat smaller, more frequent meals; avoid spicy, fatty, or high-fiber foods; incorporate stress-reducing techniques like meditation or yoga; consider probiotics or fiber supplements;

I've had two endoscopies and my doctor diagnosed me with GERD. They prescribed some tablets, but I'm still struggling with symptoms like constant upper stomach discomfort, feeling like my stomach is always full, and hardly ever burping even after eating. Talking makes me tired, and I can't relax even when taking deep breaths my chest expands, but my stomach muscles stay tense. Sometimes my throat feels tight too. I read about fundoplication surgery for GERD do I really need it, or can tablets still help? I'm really worried about this.
It's understandable to be worried when your GERD symptoms persist despite medication. Fundoplication surgery, which involves wrapping the upper part of the stomach around the lower esophagus, can be an effective treatment option for persistent GERD symptoms. However, it's not always the first approach, and medication may still be sufficient for some. A thorough discussion with your doctor is crucial to determine the best course of action for your individual situation.
