I've been noticing for a while now that whenever I eat, everything tastes way too spicy, and it makes me lose interest after just a few bites. It's like everyone else finds it normal, but for me, it feels like there's too much spice in the food. This has been a thing for the past few years. Also, sometimes when I'm brushing, my gums bleed a bit. Could these things be connected somehow, or is it something I should be worried about?

You may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux, which can cause a sensation of spiciness or burning in the throat or chest after eating spicy foods. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to help with the symptoms. Additionally, for the bleeding gums, you may benefit from using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a gentle toothpaste, as well as incorporating a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine gluconate to help reduce inflammation and bleeding. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult with a dentist or a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm struggling with high triglycerides and my doctor suggested taking TriCor 48mg, but I can't find it in the market. Can I use Fenocor 35mg instead? Will it be effective for me? I've also got a fatty liver, grade 2, and I've been dealing with triglycerides since 2016. I tried managing it with diet but didn't succeed and only now am I starting medication. Plus, I've had Gilbert Syndrome since 2001. My triglyceride level is at 442. Could you please advise on what I should do?
Since Tri Cor 48mg is not available in the market, you can consider taking Fenocor 35mg as an alternative. Fenocor contains the active ingredient Fenofibrate, which is commonly used to lower high triglyceride levels. It can also be beneficial for patients with fatty liver disease. Given your current Triglyceride level of 442, Fenocor 35mg can help in reducing your triglyceride levels and managing your condition. However, it is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and duration of treatment.
