I've been feeling like there's something in my throat, almost like a lump or leftover food. Its kind of weird, and I also notice these small burps or like there's something stuck that makes me want to manually burp. Lately, I've been having some gas issues too, especially after I eat. Any idea what's going on?

Your symptoms suggest acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where stomach acid flows back into the throat, causing discomfort, lump sensation, and burping; consider antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or H2 blockers, and lifestyle changes like avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, and elevating your head while sleeping.

Can a normal healthy person take isabgol every day? I deal with chronic diarrhea and I've been taking 2 teaspoons of isabgol mixed with lemon and water every morning. Is this okay? I'm a bit worried if there are any side effects from using isabgol for a long time, like over a few years. What do you think?

I'm a bit worried because after I masturbate, I can't seem to poop, and there was blood at the end when I finished. What could be going on here, and should I be concerned about this?

I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. It could be due to pressure or irritation, but seeing blood is a concern. If it's just a small amount and resolves quickly, it might not be serious, but I strongly recommend seeing a doctor to rule out any underlying issues.

My friend has been taking Colimex tablets for about seven months now, kind of using them like a drug. We're a bit worried because his SGPT level is 45. Could this be related to the Colimex, and what should he do about it?

Usually that's not related for your condition, this needs evaluation, visit Gastroenterologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment
