View allI'm concerned because I seem to be passing motion about 4-5 times a day, especially after 12 hours of eating anything, and it happens more when I'm at the office. But when I'm at home, it's only about twice, like in the morning and evening. Why could this be happening, and is there something specific I should do?
The urge to poop after eating is usually caused by the gastrocolic reflex, a naturalHere are some lifestyle changes that may help with gastrocolic reflex: Eat smaller meals: Eat several smaller meals throughout the day instead of three large meals. Avoid certain foods: Limit or avoid foods that make symptoms worse, such as deep-fried or spicy foods, or meals high in fat. Drink fluids: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, to keep things moving. Take probiotics: Take a probiotic supplement or eat foods rich in probiotics, like kimchi, sauerkraut, or low-fat yogurt. Manage stress: Try yoga, breathing exercises, guided imagery, or meditation to reduce stress. Exercise: Increasing physical activity can help. Take stool softeners: If stools are hard, take stool softeners with meals. Try peppermint: Take peppermint oil before meals or sip peppermint tea after meals.

My doctor said I have an incompetent lower esophageal sphincter and I'm really worried because my brother told me GERD is incurable. Is there any way to heal this without surgery? I'm feeling pretty down about it.
as symptoms are suggestive of gastritis and GERD (GASTRO ESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE ).Need to follow some lifestyle changes. Take food timely. Avoid cabbage, capsicum, citrus fruits ( for a while). Don't drink water with food, take after 40 min. as much as needed thereafter. Don't lie down immediately after food. Finish night meal by 8.30 pm maximum. Go to bed after minimum 1 hour after dinner. Always keep stomach 1/4 th empty.Divide meal into 5-6 times a day. Avoid the particular food, which is being observed to cause bloating, fullness, upper abdominal pain/ discomfort, reflux symptoms etc. A good acid blocker is needed to check excess acid production.

I'm having some really bad backaches at night, and it feels like there's gas building up in my back. When I press certain spots on my back, the gas only seems to release through my mouth, which is really odd. It normally doesn't release otherwise and it's messing with my sleep. This all started happening after I had a C-section. What could be going on? Is there something I can do to fix it?
