My wife has been dealing with water-like loose motions since yesterday. She tried pudin hara last night, which helped her sleep, but this morning, she's been to the loo four more times. She's been drinking Electrol to stay hydrated. Theres no pain, but should we be doing something more?

-It sounds like your wife is dealing with a mild case of diarrhea, but since she's staying hydrated with Electrol and doesn't have pain, she should hopefully recover soon. If it continues for more than 48 hours, it might be a good idea to consult a doctor

View allI've been dealing with acid reflux and had an endoscopy that came back normal, but my 24-hour pH monitoring showed a DeMeester score of 17.6. Does this mean I'm a candidate for antireflux surgery, or do I have to stay on meds for life? Can I choose surgery instead?

I'm a bit worried about my recent blood test results. My indirect bilirubin is 1.24, direct bilirubin is 0.21, and my total bilirubin is 1.45. Should I visit a doctor for this? Is this something to be concerned about?
Based on the bilirubin levels you provided, it seems like your total bilirubin level is slightly elevated. It is important to determine the underlying cause of this elevation. In this case, you may need further evaluation by a doctor to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. One common cause of elevated bilirubin levels is liver or gallbladder issues. Depending on the underlying cause, your doctor may recommend specific medications such as Ursodiol to help lower bilirubin levels.

I had a fissurectomy about a year ago, and lately, I've noticed that my stools are really thin. I was looking this up online and came across some scary stuff about rectal cancer. Could this be related or something I should be worried about?
It's understandable to be concerned, but thin stools alone are not necessarily a sign of rectal cancer. After a fissurectomy, changes in stool consistency can happen due to factors like diet or healing. However, if you notice other symptoms like blood in your stool, persistent pain, or unexplained weight loss, it's important to consult your doctor for a thorough evaluation.
