I've been having some issues with gas and it's really starting to worry me. So, I had h pylori and gastritis, and after getting treatment, my flatulence reduced a lot and even the smell got better. But now, a few days after finishing the treatment, I'm back to having a lot of smelly gas. I saw a gastro doctor who prescribed rifagut 550 for 10 days and a probiotic for 5 days, and that helped with the smell somewhat, but I'm still farting a lot, especially in the evenings and at night. It's really affecting my social life. On top of that, I'm going to the bathroom about 12 times a day. I've been taking nexpro L for the past one and a half months as my doctor advised, but it's not helping. What can I do to get rid of this farting problem? Id really appreciate any advice.

I'm experiencing chest pain or some discomfort every time I eat sugar or sweets. Could this be related to a gastric issue? Which type of doctor should I see about this?

Chest discomfort after consuming sweets could be due to acid reflux or gastritis, as sugary foods can sometimes irritate the stomach lining or trigger reflux. Please consult a **gastroenterologist** for an evaluation to rule out other causes and confirm the diagnosis.

I'm having some really bad backaches at night, and it feels like there's gas building up in my back. When I press certain spots on my back, the gas only seems to release through my mouth, which is really odd. It normally doesn't release otherwise and it's messing with my sleep. This all started happening after I had a C-section. What could be going on? Is there something I can do to fix it?

Elevated bilirubin (6.2) with normal MRI suggests a non-obstructive cause. Possible reasons: - Hemolysis (red blood cell breakdown) - Liver dysfunction (e.g., hepatitis, cirrhosis) - Gilbert's syndrome (benign genetic disorder) - Medication-induced (e.g., certain antibiotics) Review your blood test report for: - Liver enzymes (ALT, AST) - Hemoglobin and hematocrit - Direct and indirect bilirubin levels Consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for personalized evaluation and guidance.
