My friend was diagnosed with Budd-Chiari syndrome back in 2004 and has been managing it since. Now she's developed gall bladder stones around 6mm, but surgery isn't an option because of her liver complications. What other treatments could help in this situation?

I've been feeling like there's food stuck in my throat and it won't go down. My voice has gotten hoarse, and I've got this irritable bowel thing going on. My stomach hurts and feels like it's burning, and now I've started having pain in my lower back too. It's really uncomfortable and I'm starting to get pretty anxious about it. Any idea what could be going on?

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?

whether there is blood or not in the stool you can get stool for occult blood test.
