How can I manage loose-motions and bad appetite due to curd intake?
Hi doctor,
For the past few months, I have been having acidity issues and I have been taking Sompraz 40 mg for the last 1.5 months. Last week I had some sweet curd, which did not suit me well, and the next day I started having semi-solid loose motions 4 to 5 times a day but had no fever. The next day, I started taking Oflox OZ, but after two days of taking the medicine, my condition worsened, and I had watery stools every hour. Hence, I stopped the medication, and since then, I have been better. So, I stopped taking Oflox OZ after two days, as the medicine did not suit me. I have been taking regular probiotics. However, yesterday, I got my blood tests done, and the ESR and HsCRP were elevated. The report has been attached for your reference. My question is: my appetite is not great, and is it possible that I have to take a softer antibiotic to address the remaining infection, if any are present in the body? Currently, I have no fever, and my movements are fine.

What does it mean if my iron level is at 9.5 %?
Hi doctor,
I had a blood test, which showed that I have an iron level of 9.5 percent. My TIBC is 65, and my ferritin level is 130. Does this on its own suggest anemia? Also, would this warrant further testing like a colonoscopy?
Please answer.
Thank you.

UDCA, vitamin E, Metadoxine, will it help? Please suggest the dose beforeand after meal.

Why do I get intestinal blockage while on suppositories?
Hello doctor.
I did a herbal cleanse which seemed to cause a blockage. I worked with suppositories, fleet, laxative, magnesium supplements, senna docusate for temporary results.
My symptoms are straining excessively, feeling of rectal blockage, digital retrieval to relieve pressure, feeling of incomplete evacuation, intermittent pressure rectal area and dyschezia feel. This can be the case even with soft stool. I used Miralax for eight days. Shortly thereafter, I took 500 mg Magnesium capsules and Benefiber. The next day the stool was bulky, good diameter and easy to pass. I took the same supplements but for the next day, the stool is fairly bulky with some strain. I used the restroom four times to empty the rectum with straining. Later pressure cannot be moved, so used suppository. I am concerned about impaction but no blood or leakage. I had a history of constipation but never like this before.
I am taking Dilantin and Levothyroxine for several years.
