What could be causing persistent diarrhea, allergies, and malabsorption issues?
Hello doctor,
I am 21 years old and at the age of 18, I began experiencing severe, unexplained diarrhea during lunchtime, which continues to this day. I have been cleared of Crohn's disease, but a doctor at the emergency room suggested celiac disease based on observations of my eyes and mouth. Despite a normal celiac blood test, my gallbladder blood test appeared fine, although a subsequent scan revealed a complete blockage. I have a barium swallow and MRI scheduled. Will these tests help diagnose celiac disease? I frequently end up in the emergency room due to throat and lip swelling, along with a recurring rash and persistent bruising. I also have malabsorption and undetectable vitamin D levels. Additionally, a few years ago, I discovered I was allergic to orange juice after months of constant vomiting.
Thank you.

Hello doctor,
My mother has been diagnosed with sinus bradycardia accompanied by mild chest discomfort and weakness. An ECG has revealed a heart rate of 60 beats per minute, and she is experiencing pain in her left arm. Given her existing hyperthyroid condition, should we be concerned about these symptoms in her case?
Thank you.

Why am I not able to hold my urine lately?
Hi doctor,
I am 20 years old, so this is embarrassing. Lately, I have not been able to hold my urine. Sometimes I pee on the way to the toilet or even at night. There are instances where I will be in the grocery store and all of the sudden I would have to run across the store, but still not make it in time. Please help.

What can cause recurrent fever and chills?
Hi doctor,
I am a 49 year old male. I have been suffering from fever and chills for the one week. I started on antibiotics Novoclox. I had two tablets and the next day had rashes on the body. Hence, I started taking Cetirizine once daily. The fever and rash has subsided now. Today morning, I had alcohol and non-vegetarian food. From afternoon, again, I started developing a fever and chill. My last recorded body temperature was 215 F. Please help.
