I've been struggling with this really intense hunger pain that just won't go away, and it's so bad it makes me feel like throwing up. I have this acid reflux thing too, and my bowel movements have been all over the place for months. I've been eating healthily, cutting out all the processed stuff, no soft drinks, nothing unhealthy, and I even started working out. But it still feels like my stomach can't digest food properly. The hunger pains hit me so hard even after eating. It's been like this for years, but the acid thing is kinda new. I'm 24, female, and a bit overweight. Any ideas about what's going on or what I should do?

Consider consulting a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions like gastroparesis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and in the meantime, try keeping a food diary to track symptoms, eat smaller, more frequent meals, choose low-acid foods, avoid trigger foods, and consider probiotics or digestive enzymes to support gut health,

I'm supposed to have an endoscopy tomorrow because I've been dealing with a really bad sore throat and some keratosis happening there. But today I took cetirizine and paracetamol. Can I still go through with the endoscopy, or could this be an issue?

I'm really confused about how long I should wait after recovering from typhoid before I can drink alcohol again. I've been getting conflicting advice from different people. Can you give me a clear and practical answer on this?

It's generally recommended to avoid alcohol for at least 3-6 months after recovering from typhoid to allow your liver and body to fully recover from the infection
