I think I have blood in my stool. I am a 43-year-old female with a history of c diff, h pylori, and a slipped TIF around my stomach. I have been experiencing stomach pain on the left side, bloating, gas, constipation/diarrhea, urinary symptoms, loss of appetite, and nausea, but no fever or vomiting. I have also been taking vitamins, prebiotic, iron, and fiber supplements, and have been on a lot of antibiotics for h pylori. What could be causing the blood in my stool and what tests should I consider?

Good morning. I need to speak to a doctor. I've been experiencing symptoms since Tuesday. I'm 44 years old and currently using only Advil and Tylenol. I don't have any other significant medical history that the doctor should know.

Is it okay to smoke one cigarette per week, and how does this compare to the health risks of light alcohol drinking? Additionally, what is the potential health impact of smoking around 1500 cigarettes over 33 years?

I completed a course of antibiotics (Keflex) for a strep infection, but there is still redness and pus on my tonsils. Should I get retested for strep? Do I need a longer course of antibiotics? I started the antibiotics on September 1st and completed 10 days of treatment. The symptoms improved initially but have reappeared. The redness is slightly darker than the mouth tissue, with no pain or itchiness. I had strep earlier this summer and took amoxicillin. No fever, no neck lumps, and no difficulty swallowing.
