Question

My vitamin B12 level has been at 138 for the past two years and I'm having bowel movements three times a day. I've already tried taking Vitcofol injections, five doses of 2 ml, but didn't notice any improvement. I recently heard about Metacobalamin tablets and was wondering if I should try them. What's the right dosage? Is there another treatment that might help?

Question

I've been experiencing some trouble after meals, like having dosa or just a simple meal. My stomach doesn't seem to digest it well, and my belly becomes really hard and heavy. It's making it difficult for me to focus on work, and I get really restless to the point where I just want to close my eyes and sleep. Sometimes it feels like the gas from my stomach is reaching my head. Ive started taking Liv 52 tablets, but I'm not seeing any improvement. I drink 3 liters of water daily, eat chappati and veggies, and even walk about a kilometer after meals, but the problems still there. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Question

I'm a bit worried because my stool test showed 12 HPF pus cells and an acidic pH. The CRP level is 1.5 and I'm not quite sure what this means, but I read that it's within the normal range. Could these results indicate some kind of bowel issue, and should I be concerned about something more serious? What steps should I take next?

Question

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?
