I've been having these powder-like stools and some irritation in my abdomen, and it actually happened a couple of months ago too. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how to get rid of it?

You may be experiencing symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter medication such as Imodium (loperamide) to help with diarrhea and Dicyclomine (Bentyl) to help with abdominal cramping. It is important to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet with plenty of fiber. If your symptoms persist, it is recommended to consult with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned about my IBS. Is it something that can actually be cured? How long does it usually take to see improvements? And I'm really struggling with the bloating part of it. Are there any tips or remedies to help stop it?
-IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) isn't typically "curable," but it can be managed effectively with dietary changes, stress management, and medication. The duration of relief varies, but with the right approach, symptoms like bloating can improve over time.

I've had jaundice before, but I'm doing well now. I'm thinking about using Liv 52 as a regular detox thing. How many Liv 52 tablets should I take a day? And is there a limit on how long I can use it without worrying?
For detoxification purposes, you can take 2 tablets of Liv 52 twice a day after meals. It is generally safe to use Liv 52 for a prolonged period of time as it is a natural hepatoprotective supplement. However, if you have any concerns or experience any unusual symptoms, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional.
