I've noticed what seems like blood in my stool, and it's kind of worrying me. There's no blood when I wipe, and I only see it under the stool after it's been in the toilet for a while, almost like it's coming from inside. It's bright red right around the stool, but then it changes to this orange-yellow color further out. Should I be concerned about this?

I'm feeling pretty confused and a bit worried here. Back in July 2020, I noticed it was hard to take a full deep breath all day long. It's been months now, like seven, and I've seen multiple doctors, but this hasn't gone away. It's kind of weird because my normal breathing is okay, and I don't have any other symptoms other than a lot of burping. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

GERD I can think this diagnosis according to your symptoms or maybe anxiety issue! take pantop for 5 days

You know, I've been taking Rinifol since my doctor said I have IBS Diarrhoea and it worked really well for about a month. Is it safe to use Rinifol for a long time, like for life, or is there anything I should be worried about?
