I am obese and have the following health issues: insulin resistance, high triglycerides, low vitamin D, and a sluggish thyroid. I also have allergies to wheat, almonds, and hazelnuts. I am on Weight Watchers but not consistent and have a lot of hunger. Are there any recommendations for medication to control appetite that I can discuss with my doctor?

I have been experiencing stool leakage, sometimes with clear fluid, for about a year. I am a 54-year-old male with no prior health issues, no children, and no surgeries to the anus. I have been taking fluoxetine for 27 months. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 24-year-old daughter passed a piece of bloody tissue rectally. It was about 2"L x 1.5"W, with dark blood spots and brighter red streaks, and had a puckery bubble-like appearance. She had two loose bowel movements today but nothing bloody before this. She has no history of chronic gastro issues and no other symptoms like pain or nausea. What could this be?

I broke my big toe yesterday. Today, I've been experiencing nausea, followed by feeling very warm and then very cold in a cycle. This started about 12 hours after the break. I took Norco, which I had left from a small surgery last December. I haven't seen a doctor about the break. My medical history includes generally good health but being overweight. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
