Question 1

I've been experiencing some trouble breathing after I have dinner and then lie down in bed. It's strange because it doesn't really happen all the time, just usually after I eat and go to lie down. I end up having to take these deep breaths through my mouth because it feels like I'm not getting enough air. But what's odd is that if I wake up in the middle of the night, I don't have the same problem. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Question 2

I'm having to go to the bathroom 4 to 5 times every morning, and it gets worse if I eat outside or have anything spicy, which then gives me a burning sensation. With plain homemade food, it's okay, except for still having to go several times. My doctor says I have IBS and mentioned its a disorder rather than a disease, and apparently it can't be cured. Can you guide me on this? Is there anything I can do to improve the situation?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a medication like Dicyclomine (Bentyl) 20mg before meals to help reduce the frequency of bowel movements and relieve abdominal cramping. Additionally, you can try a probiotic supplement like Align once daily to help regulate your gut flora and improve digestion. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet with plenty of fiber and stay hydrated. Avoiding trigger foods like spicy foods can also help reduce symptoms. Regular exercise and stress management techniques can also be beneficial in managing IBS symptoms.
