I've been struggling with this issue for a while now and it's really worrying me. So, a couple of years ago, I had loose motions because of the water and I took Norflox Tz. It helped, but after finishing the course, I ended up with really bad constipation and bleeding which caused fissures. I've been trying probiotic milk, it's helped a bit, but the bleeding hasn't really gone away. Now it's been two years, and even though I eat healthy and drink lots of water, I'm still dealing with this. Is there a way to fix this, or could it be permanent?

To help with your current symptoms, you can try using a stool softener like Colace (Docusate) to make bowel movements easier and reduce straining. Additionally, you can use a topical cream like Anusol-HC to help with the pain and inflammation from the fissures. For long-term management, you may benefit from a prescription medication like Lactulose solution to help regulate your bowel movements and prevent constipation. It is important to continue consuming probiotics and maintaining a healthy diet with plenty of fiber and water. If the bleeding persists, it is advisable to consult with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been taking Follihair capsules for about five days now, right after lunch, and I've started having a pretty bad stomach and diarrhea. Is this normal and safe to keep taking, or could it be a side effect of the capsules?

I've recently been told I have grade 1 fatty liver, and I used to have irritable bowel syndrome. I've been on antibiotics for a liver infection for a few days. I'm experiencing pain in my liver area from the infection, but there's also a constant pain in my abdomen, especially when I press on it, and sometimes even without pressing. This has been going on for months. What could be causing this pain? I had an ultrasound, and it only showed the liver problem. I really want to understand what's going on so it can be treated. Can you help?

The persistent abdominal pain, despite antibiotics for liver infection, could be related to your pre-existing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), as fatty liver disease and IBS often co-exist; other possible causes may include inflammation, scarring, or adhesions from past liver or abdominal issues; consider consulting a gastroenterologist to investigate further and develop a comprehensive treatment plan addressing both your fatty liver and IBS symptoms.
