Respected Doctor, I have been experiencing gas and indigestion for the past two months, sometimes accompanied by nausea. I also notice white mucus in my stool, along with brain fog and anxiety. My recent blood tests show Hemoglobin is 11.9 (RBC count 4.31, previously 12.5 in October 2021 and 15 in August 2020 WBC count is 9800 (Neutrophils 59 percent, Lymphocytes 34 percent, Eosinophils 4 percent, Monocytes 3 percent) RDW is 16.3 Liver function tests are SGPT 28.2, SGOT 28, Bilirubin Direct 0.12, Indirect 0.2, Alkaline Phosphatase 88 I also have hypertension and am taking CTD T 6.25/40 in the morning and Met XL 25 at night. Additionally, I have been taking Pan D capsule for the past year on an empty stomach in the morning. My hemoglobin is gradually decreasing. Could you please advise what might be causing these symptoms and the drop in hemoglobin, and what further tests or treatment I may need?

Symptoms suggest possible gut dysbiosis or IBS. Consider stool test, B12, iron profile. Long term Pan D use may affect absorption.

I was using whey protein, which did not suit me and caused loose stools and two bowel movements per day. I continued using it, thinking my body would adjust, and took it for one month with milk, water, and curd. As a result, I started getting black loose stools. A stool test showed +fiber, +undigested food, and negative for mucus, blood, and infection. I stopped the whey protein and switched back to a normal diet, but the condition did not improve. It has been almost seven months, and now I am getting yellow loose stools. Sometimes the stool is normal, but other times it starts hard and ends loose. Doctors have told me that I have weak intestines. I have also lost weight; previously I weighed 63 kg, and now I weigh 58 kg.

My 4 month old baby has been experiencing constant vomiting for the past month. We recently got a blood test done, and the CRP level came back as 18 mcg per ml. I am concerned about what this means and what could be causing the vomiting.
