I've been taking Dulcoflex for about a month now to help with constipation, but I'm noticing some weird side effects. I'm going to the bathroom a lot more often and I'm always hungry, even after eating a big meal. I've also noticed I'm losing weight and there's some itching around the anal area. I've done a bunch of tests but everything comes back normal. Could you suggest what might be going on or recommend some medication that could help? I'm really worried about these symptoms.

The symptoms you're experiencing, such as high urination, excessive hunger, weight loss, and anal itching, despite normal test results, may be related to the laxative Dulcoflex (bisacodyl); consider stopping or reducing the medication and switching to a fiber supplement like Psyllium Husk or methylcellulose to manage constipation

View allI've been experiencing some discomfort and I'm really seeking some advice. After eating, my stomach feels bloated and no matter what I do, it doesn't seem to go away. I've consulted an Ayurveda doctor before and they mentioned I have high pitta and vata, but I'm still dealing with these issues. It feels like even after I go to the toilet, it's incomplete and I'm often back there soon after. My intestine area just doesn't feel right. I've also been sweating a lot, feeling tired and struggling with low concentration. My face seems much darker than the rest of my body and my skin is really dry and wrinkled. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on with my body and how I can find some relief. What could be causing all of this?

I'm Ajay Sharma from Gurgaon. For the last 15 days, I've been noticing black stools, but there's no abdominal pain. I'm a bit concerned about it. Could you please share what might be going on?
Black stool can be caused by various factors, including bleeding in the upper GI tract, iron supplements, or certain foods; given your symptom of black stool for 15 days without abdominal pain, it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions like ulcers, gastritis, or gastrointestinal bleeding;

I'm experiencing some weird stuff lately and I'm a bit worried. I have this strange pain around my left breast and the left side of my chest, and it's been quite constant. I've also been dealing with a lot of post-nasal drip and burping, plus this odd flapping sensation on the left side of my abdomen. Do you have any idea what could be going on?
