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.

View allI'm dealing with a lot of saliva production, especially in the mornings when I wake up. Within minutes my mouth gets full of saliva, and I have to keep spitting throughout the day to manage it. It's a bit better after I brush, but it's still an issue. What's going on here, and how can I get this under control?
Excessive saliva production, also known as hypersalivation, can have various causes such as medication side effects, GERD, infections, or neurological conditions. In your case, since the issue improves after brushing, it could be related to oral hygiene. I recommend using a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine gluconate 0.12% solution twice daily after brushing. Additionally, you can try using tablets containing atropine sulfate 0.5mg to reduce saliva production. If the problem persists, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing weight loss and abdominal pain after eating, and I feel full even after a small meal. There's also this constant irritation in my stomach. My doctor suggested an endoscopy which showed I have gastric ulcers. I've heard from some people that medicine might not be the best way to treat ulcers and that home remedies can help. Can you give me some advice on what I should do about this?

I'm experiencing a bit of wetness and irritation around my anus that goes away when I clean it. Sometimes there's also a little tickling sensation that lasts just a few seconds. It only happens once a day, and I'm fine the rest of the time. My doctor suggested taking Bendex followed by Metrogyl, three times a day for five days, with a second Bendex tablet after a week. Is it okay to follow this advice?
