I've been having issues with acidity and I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it. I have milk, honey, chapati bhaji, rice, and idli sambhar regularly. Can you help me figure out if any of these foods could be contributing to my acidity problems and if I should avoid them?

To control acidity, consider avoiding or reducing the following items from your daily diet: none of the listed foods are inherently acidic, but chapati bhaji (if the bhaji is spicy or made with acidic ingredients) and Sambhar (if it contains acidic ingredients like tomatoes or citrus) might exacerbate acidity; however, the primary culprit is likely something not listed; also, consider avoiding or reducing other common acidity triggers like citrus fruits, tomatoes, spicy or fatty foods, caffeine, and carbonated drinks.

View allI'm dealing with some loose motions right now, and I'm really worried because I have a competition tomorrow. Is there any way to fix this in just one day?
Possible Diagnosis* 1. *Tonsillolith (Tonsil Stone)*: A small, harmless deposit of calcium and debris that can form on the surface of the tonsils. 2. *Mucous Cyst*: A small, benign growth that can occur on the mucous membranes in the throat. 3. *Follicular Hyperplasia*: An overgrowth of lymphoid tissue in the throat, which can cause small, painless bumps. *Treatment Advice* 1. *Gargling with Salt Water*: Mix 14 teaspoon of salt with 8 ounces of warm water and gargle several times a day to help reduce inflammation and flush out debris. 2. *Maintaining Good Oral Hygiene*: Brush your teeth regularly, and use a tongue scraper to remove bacteria and debris from the surface of your tongue. 3. *Staying Hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help keep your throat moist and reduce the risk of tonsil stones.

I'm really worried because last night I used my teeth to cut some cello tape and ended up swallowing it. It's stuck in my throat, and I'm feeling really uneasy and anxious about it. Can you tell me what I should do to handle this situation? I really need your help, doctor.

I've been struggling with bile reflux and the symptoms are really bothering me. Are there any surgical options like bile diversion surgery that could help? I'm not sure what to do about this and would appreciate some guidance on managing it
Bile reflux may benefit from bile diversion or Roux-en-Y surgery in severe cases; most patients improve with medication and lifestyle changes.
