View allI'm dealing with really painful hemorrhoids and it's getting hard for me to function properly. My stool is really hard and difficult to pass, and I just end up feeling so bloated if I don't have a clear stomach. It's painful whether I'm sitting or walking and I'm honestly super stressed out about it. I've been trying homeopathic medicines but they don't seem to do anything for me anymore. Can you suggest anything that might actually help? Also, things like isabgol that are supposed to act as stool softeners seem to harden it more, which is confusing. What should I do?

I've been experiencing something weird whenever I lie down on my left side. It's a pulsating sensation just under my left rib, and it seems to come and go. There's no pain, but it's definitely noticeable. Any idea what might be causing this sensation?

I've been dealing with sticky stools and really smelly gas for about 20 days now. It's starting to worry me. Do you think I should get a stool test done? Also, what kind of treatment would you suggest for this?
Given your 20-day symptoms of sticky stools and smelly gas, consider consulting a gastroenterologist for a comprehensive evaluation, including a stool test to rule out underlying conditions like malabsorption, small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), or gastrointestinal infections, and treatment may involve antibiotics, probiotics, or dietary modifications.
