I’m going to try cholestyramine for bile reflux and malabsorption. I got an ADEK vitamin to supplement that as well. I already take 12 gm of Heather's Tummy Fiber (acacia white). My poop has white tiny balls in it, possibly indicating my Creon isn’t being absorbed. Is it possible that my Creon and Prevacid, the only capsule pills I take, are not effective due to my GI problems? Should I contact my doctor about this?

While lying on my left side scrubbing the floor, I experienced sudden hot/numbness in the right side of my head/face, down my right arm, and down my right leg. This improved when I stopped, but I still have some lingering nerve pain/tingling in my right side of my face and my right hand. What could have caused this, especially given that I had a brain MRI 3 months ago that showed white matter lesions but nothing else?

I think I might be infertile. I have not been able to conceive after trying for about a year, and I'm not taking any medications. I'm 21 years old, female, 4 feet 10 inches tall, and weigh about 160 pounds. My period is regular, and I had a 2cm cyst on one of my ovaries about a year ago. Could these factors be affecting my ability to conceive?
