I've been yawning a lot lately, like way more than usual, and I'm starting to wonder if it's linked to my digestion somehow. I've been feeling some pressure in my neck and back, but it seems to ease up when I yawn. Could too much gas in my body cause this? I'm trying to figure out what's going on.

Excessive yawning can be linked to indigestion or gas buildup, as it may trigger the body to attempt to regulate oxygen levels and relieve pressure. The pressure in your neck and back may be due to muscle tension, and yawning could help release that tension, offering temporary relief. If these symptoms persist, its a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying digestive issues.

I've been dealing with some discomfort lately where I get a lot of acidity, and the gas won't release, causing sharp pain around my food pipe. I'm really not sure what to do about it. Are there specific foods I should avoid to help with this?
To help alleviate these symptoms, you can take an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) to neutralize the excess stomach acid. Additionally, you can take simethicone, found in Gas-X, to help break up the gas bubbles and facilitate their passage out of the body. To prevent further episodes, it is advisable to avoid foods that can trigger acidity and gas such as spicy foods, carbonated beverages, fried foods, and foods high in fat. Instead, opt for a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to help maintain a healthy digestive system.

Can you reverse redundant colon without surgery and what treatments are available for it
Redundant colon, or dolichocolon, is a condition where the colon is longer than normal, creating extra loops and folds, which can sometimes cause symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and constipation. While surgery is sometimes necessary to address severe cases or complications, many people can live with a redundant colon without needing intervention. In some cases, nonsurgical options like decompression procedures or lifestyle changes can be used to manage symptoms.
