I've been having some issues for about a month now with not being able to completely pass my stools. Even when I try hard, it feels like my bowels aren't getting fully emptied, and I'm constantly feeling tired and sleepy. There's also this pain that's been persistent in my legs, right side of my stomach, and back area. I've noticed I'm coughing more often than usual too. Sometimes my lips feel a little burnt, and I keep getting this odd taste in my mouth. I often feel the urge to have a bowel movement, but when I get to the bathroom, the feeling just slows down. I can't seem to pass gas completely either, and it's like I can feel the gas moving around in my stomach. What could be causing all this?

View allI'm having some trouble with gas, and I think it might be related to the fact that I've been eating a lot of boiled egg whitesabout 5 to 6 every day. Can they actually be causing this gas issue? If they are, is there something I can do to help with the gas? And what if I decide to switch to liquid egg whites insteadwould that make any difference?
Interesting combination of symptoms. _Relationship Between UTI and Undigested Food in Stool_ 1. _Unrelated conditions_: UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) and undigested food in stool are generally unrelated conditions. 2. _E. coli in urine culture_: The presence of E. coli in your urine culture confirms a UTI, but the low colony count might indicate a mild infection. 3. _Undigested food in stool_: This symptom could be related to: - Gastrointestinal issues (e.g., IBS, gastroparesis, or malabsorption) - Dietary factors (e.g., food intolerance, high-fiber diet, or inadequate digestive enzymes) - Other medical conditions (e.g., celiac disease, Crohn's disease, or pancreatic insufficiency) _Next Steps_ 1. _Complete UTI treatment_: Finish the prescribed antibiotic course to clear the E. coli infection. 2. _Investigate gastrointestinal symptoms_: Consult a gastroenterologist or a primary care physician to evaluate the undigested food in stool symptom. 3. _Dietary and lifestyle changes_: Consider keeping a food diary, avoiding trigger foods, and incorporating digestive-friendly foods and habits.

I'm dealing with chronic gas issues and lately, it's been causing me breathing problems too. It gets better when I pass gas, so I'm wondering, is there any chance that the gas is somehow affecting my windpipe?
