I've been having some issues with my digestion lately. My farts and motions have a strong, bad smell no matter what I eat. Plus, I feel more comfortable sleeping on my right side because when I try to sleep on my left, I get this slight discomfort below my stomach. What could be causing this?

I get hiccups at least once or twice a day and they can really hurt. Ive been doing some research and found out I have a cyst on my chest. Could there be a connection between the hiccups and the cyst, or is this something I should be worried about?

I've been dealing with GERD and gas issues for 10 years now and my doctor suggested nissen fundoplication surgery would this surgery actually help me or are there other options I should consider first

Nissen fundoplication can be effective for GERD resistant to meds. Discuss surgical risks, especially gas-bloat syndrome. If meds work well, surgery isn‚Äôt urgent.

I'm concerned about my stage 2 non-alcoholic fatty liver. I've been reading about Liv 52 tablets by Himalaya and was wondering if they're effective for this condition. Also, how many should I be taking each day, and is it better to have them on an empty stomach or after meals?

Liv 52 might help support liver health, but it should not be relied upon as the sole treatment for Stage 2 NAFLD. Focus on lifestyle changes, and consult your doctor to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. If you decide to take Liv 52, follow the recommended dosage of 2 tablets twice daily after meals, but only after getting your doctor's approval
