I've been having this issue where my stomach starts hurting right after meals, and I feel like I have to run to the bathroom with really loose stools. I tried taking Gut OK for like a week, but it didn't help at all. What could be going on here? Should I try something else or maybe get checked out?

Based on your symptoms, you may benefit from taking Imodium to help with your loose stools and stomach discomfort. Imodium is an over-the-counter medication that can help control diarrhea. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

I've had stage 3 hemorrhoids and SRUS diagnosed by colonoscopy back in August 2019. They weren't painful before but for the past month, I've been getting sharp stabbing pains during bowel movements and even at rest. Oxerutin isn't helping much. Should I get another colonoscopy to check on the hemorrhoids and SRUS or try natural remedies first? Also, is it safe to split the Oxerutin pill into thirds since I can't swallow it whole?
This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
