I've been having sudden loose motions since yesterday and tried taking Sestil AD, but it's not really working. What else can I do to get it under control? Should I be worried?

View allI'm thinking about joining the Reshape Nation program to help with my weight loss, but I've heard that it might not be suitable if you have a fatty liver issue. They've also suggested using some Amway products, like Nutrilite supplements. I'm a bit concerned and wonder if it's a safe choice for me to proceed. Could you provide some guidance on whether it's advisable for someone in my situation?

I've been having some discomfort on the left side just below my ribs for the past two weeks. It's really tender to the touch and gets quite painful. Plus, I've been experiencing a lot of stomach bloating, especially after I eat. It even affects my breathing at times, making it short, and my heart seems to race when my stomach is bloated. Does this sound familiar, and what might be causing these symptoms?
