Is paste like yellow stool common with IBS? No matter how much fiber I add or how much water I drink, the majority of my stool is like this. I eat apple, banana, and oats daily in the morning for fiber. I do not eat junk food, totally stopped for a year. Is this IBS? Also, if I drink milk or eat spicy food, I have observed smelly gas after that. Please guide. LFT, CBC, urine, and thyroid are all normal.

Yellow, paste like stools can occur in IBS, especially with your pattern of symptoms. Adding fiber and hydration helps, but IBS can still cause loose stools, bloating, and gas after milk or spicy food. It is good you avoid junk and eat a healthy diet. Since your LFT, CBC, thyroid, and urine tests are normal, this is reassuring. You can book a Stool Routine and Microscopy test to rule out infections or fat malabsorption if symptoms continue.

View allI have been dealing with stomach discomfort and indigestion for several months, which started after a course of antibiotics and painkillers in August. Since then, I have been experiencing nausea, indigestion, and smelly gas. A few months ago, a USG of the abdomen showed a gallbladder polyp of 2.8 mm, but I am not sure if my current issues are related to that. I am worried about stomach cancer, and this anxiety is affecting me mentally. I also lose weight easily despite going to the gym regularly for weight training (no cardio). My LFT, urine, stool, and CBC were normal. I was low on Vitamin D, so I am taking supplements weekly. I feel like every day a new problem arises, which increases my anxiety. I am mentally stressed due to my physical health issues. I want to know how to restore my gut health and feel normal again. I feel that these problems started after taking Covaxin, and it has left me very anxious. What should I do?

My occult blood report is not detected, but there is blood in my stool in physical examination. Is it a cause of concern?
