Question 2

I'm dealing with this burning and piercing feeling from my stomach up to my throat, and it's really uncomfortable. I tried taking mcaine gel and buscogast, but I'm still not feeling any better. What else can I do to get some relief?

Question 3

I've been dealing with diarrhea on and off for over a week and a half now, and in between, my stools have turned this chalky white color. It's got me a bit worried, especially because I'm nursing and don't want to pass anything to my baby, even though she seems alright. I had the stomach flu about three weeks ago and then traveled, and this issue started when I got back. Is it possible that it's linked to the stomach flu, or could it be some kind of viral infection that just flared up again? What's going on and should I be really concerned about this?
