Health Q&A
Inconsistent stool
The first part of my stool comes out on its own without much straining and is of normal thickness. However, after sitting for a while and applying slight pressure, the remaining stool that comes out is noticeably thinner. There is no bleeding and I do not have any significant pain or discomfort. However, when I strain more during bowel movements, a small reddish fleshy tissue protrudes slightly from the anus. It goes back inside automatically when I stop straining. I am taking 1 tsp isabgol husk 2 or 3 times in a week. A few weeks ago I visited a surgeon and the DRE was normal (within limits).
Intermittent pain on the right side
I have been experiencing occasional pain on the right side, below the ribs, for about 3 months. The pain stopped completely for some time but started occurring occasionally again. I had an ultrasound, which showed mild hepatomegaly (mildly enlarged liver). I took two bottles of Adlive, after which the pain improved, but it later returned occasionally. The pain is now less than before. Please advise what could be the possible cause and whether I need any medicine.

Digestion issues
Doctor, I get burps even if I'm drinking water, or eating any small food or anything. All this is happening since a month. I'd get stools daily but 2-3 times or someday constipation. Sometimes a lil cramp at right upper side of abdomen. Idk if it's muscle stretch or strain or what since I was going to gym too for weight loss. I checked my ultrasound it had fatty liver changes grade 1-2 rest was normal, to confirm this I went for fibroscan it showed no fatty liver CAP value was 174 kpa 3.3..I was experiencing hairfall last month more so I tested for my iron, b12 were borderline low. I took iron and b12 supplements and tested after a month, b12 and iron didn't increase. Now my b12 is 155, iron 43 and hb 11.5... I visited my nearby gastroenterologist he just gave me esomeprazole and domperidone tablets, psyllium husk and i dont know why why he gave anti depressant. And started b12 injections. He also checked for celiac disease, the report was negative. What should I do please help
