Posted on Sat, 11 Jun 2016
Question: hello,please can you forward this message to Dr khan?

hi Dr XXXXXXX .I'm really sorry for delay response.

I was satisfied for your helpful but last Friday i've took medicine called Imodium and I felt a bit better till now as it seems like frequent urge of defecating had greatly reduced.

I couldn't defecate any more than twice a day since that time
surprisingly there is a some day I did that only once
.
I'm experiencing almost no bloating and stomach sounds noise looks pretty reduced

I don't know how you understand that.

thanks.

Brief Answer:
Well that is perfectly normal sir, absolutely nothing to worry about :)

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. So your complain is that you seem to be defecating only once or twice a day? Well that is perfectly normal sir, and in fact is perfectly fine.

On an average, a normal human being defecates only once per day, and if that is the case with you then there is absolutely nothing to worry about. :)

The noise or growling of the digestive system being reduced is also a good sign of improvement and returning of normal function. The absence of bloating also marks good improvement and reaching normalcy; so all in all, these are good signs.

If there is anything from this scenario that is bothering you, then please write to me and I would be more than happy to be of assistance. As you know, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.

Thank you a lot.
I hope I've got nothing more to tell other than waiting for a couple of days to see what will happen next.

I think I'll have maybe one more blood circulatory health problem to tell you.
