I have been suggested to follow a histamine intolerant diet, which is almost impossible for me, and it seems to lead to high cholesterol due to the limited food options like red meat and butter. I was diagnosed with high cholesterol last year, which is currently controlled by diet. Additionally, I was diagnosed with bladder spasm, and the histamine intolerance diet was suggested after this diagnosis. How should I manage my diet to avoid high cholesterol and follow a diet suitable for histamine intolerance?

I had an endolymphatic sac decompression surgery on my right ear for Meniere's disease on Monday. Since then, I have been leaking a clear, watery, bloody fluid from my incisions. Is this normal?

I am about to have surgery for a 3cm colon polyp and a 6mm rectal polyp. I have a history of easy hemorrhaging, weakness, depression, fibromyalgia, hypertension, PTSD, anxiety, panic, and a poor diet. I am concerned about the possibility of excessive bleeding during the surgery, the effectiveness of adrenaline shots, and the use of hemospray or other methods to control bleeding. Additionally, I am seeking a GI specialist with advanced endoscopy training for this procedure. What are the risks of bleeding, and what methods can be used to minimize it?

I had a fistulotomy done for a suspected fistula, which turned out to be a chronic cavity. I have a small, painless, slightly red bump at the end of the surgery incision that hasn't gone away for two weeks. It sometimes swells and drains clear fluid. Should I be concerned about this bump, and what should I do about the swelling and drainage?

I experienced sudden upper left calf pain while standing about 7 hours ago. The pain worsens when bending the leg or walking. I had imaging done for a clot in this leg a month ago, which came back negative. I am 26 years old, 160 pounds, 5’4”, female, and on oral contraceptives. I am also feeling nauseous. Should I be worried about this pain, especially since it hurts to touch when I try to massage it?

My wife, a breast cancer survivor with paraneoplastic syndrome (PNPS), was treated with 40mg of prednisone for 3 weeks followed by a 6-week taper. She has experienced bobble head, weakness, and wobbly effects since stopping the steroid. How long will these symptoms last?
