I've been having some digestive issues and I'm wondering if eating corn could be causing me constipation. I eat corn pretty often and would love to know if there's a natural remedy that could help with this. Any advice?

Corn is generally a great source of nutrition and fibre for the body, however, anything can be harmful when taken in extreme excess. Constipation can be relieved by taking stool softeners and laxatives such as Duphalac syrup or Dulcolax tablets.

View allMy husband seems to be dealing with what we think is hyperacidity. Every 30 to 40 days, he gets this stomach pain, and if it gets worse, he ends up vomiting. Also, hes been noticing some small swollen balls near his anal area that burst after a day or two and then bleed. He cant wear tight jeans or pants either because they make his stomach hurt more. We're really worried and would love some insight on what might be going on and how we can manage or treat this. Any advice?

I've got a bit of a situation with my grade 2 fatty liver. I've been walking around 34 kms every day, trying to keep active. I take Ursocol 300 twice daily after meals, but I've also been battling some acid reflux, which is adding to my stress and affecting my sleep. Lately, I've been having bowel movements 3 to 4 times a day. Just today, I ate a full plate of papaya in the morning, and by noon, I could smell papaya when I went to the bathroom. I noticed this before when I ate a couple of servings of cabbage and some spinach juice. I took a Darolac tablet at night to help with digestion. This never used to happen to me, and I'm a bit concerned. Could this be connected to my liver or should I be looking into something else?
No need to worry you are doing good just consume balanced diet and maintain physical activity and follow your doctor advice.

My sister has been struggling with frequent bowel movements, going to the bathroom countless times a day but only passing watery liquid stool. She feels exhausted all the time and sometimes has stomach pain. She had knee surgery last year could that be related? What might be causing this and what steps should we take next?
Frequent watery stool needs stool tests and gastro consult—could be infection, IBS, or IBD.
