I have type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and Barrett's Esophagus. I've had diarrhea and constipation for the past two weeks, and my stools are yellowish, stringy, and sometimes have mucus. I wipe yellow after stool/diarrhea. My gastroenterologist prescribed Neomycin for 10 days for possible SIBO, and I am concerned I might have candida. I also have mild thrush on the back of my tongue and am worried about taking Nystatin liquid. Should I stop taking Omeprazole while on Neomycin?

Every time my husband and I have sex, he gets bumps around his penis. He was tested for STDs and the results came back negative. What could be causing these bumps, and what should we do to address the issue?

I’m not feeling well and my lab test shows normal urine bilirubin but double urine urobilinogen (reference values are 0-17, I’m at 34). My stool is paler, and I have constant nausea. What could this be due to?

I have had GERD for approximately 15 years and have had several endoscopies, including one that detected a small segment of Barrett's esophagus (no dysplasia). My last endoscopy, almost 6 years ago, did not detect Barrett's esophagus. I am currently experiencing increased chest pain and heartburn due to stress and anxiety. Given my history, age, and symptoms, am I most likely overreacting or is there a real reason to suspect esophageal cancer?

I'm close to 8 weeks pregnant. I was at work and got dizzy, lightheaded, had fuzzy vision, and felt hot. What could cause this?
