I've been having this weird issue where I get this acidic taste in my mouth after eating, and it's been bothering me. Plus, I've been feeling some pain on the left side of my chest. Do you think I should go for an endoscopy test? Any advice would be really helpful.

View allI'm really struggling with constipation and I've heard Isabgol might help. But I'm not sure how long I need to take it to see real results. Are we talking a few weeks, or could it take several months or even a year to completely get rid of the problem?
Isabgol (psyllium husk) can help alleviate constipation symptoms within 2-7 days, but for optimal results and to establish regular bowel habits, it's recommended to take isabgol consistently for at least 2-3 months, and ideally, as a long-term dietary supplement to support digestive health, under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

I've been having this issue where my stomach starts hurting right after meals, and I feel like I have to run to the bathroom with really loose stools. I tried taking Gut OK for like a week, but it didn't help at all. What could be going on here? Should I try something else or maybe get checked out?
Based on your symptoms, you may benefit from taking Imodium to help with your loose stools and stomach discomfort. Imodium is an over-the-counter medication that can help control diarrhea. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

My mom is 65 and has gallbladder stones but refuses surgery. We're really worried because she's had them for a while now. Are there any other treatment options besides surgery that could help her?
While gallbladder surgery (cholecystectomy) is the most common and effective treatment for gallstones, there are alternative non-surgical options that may be considered, especially if surgery is not an option. These include oral dissolution therapy with medications like ursodiol or chenodiol, which can dissolve cholesterol gallstones, and endoscopic procedures like ERCP to remove stones stuck in the bile ducts
