I have been dealing with bloating and constipation for almost 2 years. My bowel habits have changed, leading to increased constipation and bloating, with abdominal pain and a feeling that my bowel movements are incomplete. I have tried various treatments, including increasing fiber, water, and using laxatives, but the problem persists. I am also experiencing weight gain, particularly in my thighs and buttocks, along with pain in my legs and feet. What could be causing these issues and how can they be treated?

I am constipated and have had it three times in the past three months. I am scared it might be colon cancer. I am 22 years old, have no family history of colon cancer, and no history of smoking. I have also experienced diarrhea five times in three months. My gastroenterologist diagnosed me with IBS, but I don't believe it. What should I do?

My daughter is pregnant and was on suboxone before pregnancy, but stopped during her pregnancy. She fell and was admitted to the hospital for high blood pressure and pre-eclampsia. A social worker asked about her suboxone use and requested pharmacy records. They also mentioned testing the baby's first bowel movement for drugs. Can they take the baby away from my daughter?

Both my feet and legs are swollen and have been for three days. They get really tight, have red marks around the ankles, and sometimes I can't feel my feet. I can walk but it hurts a lot. I'm 53 years old and don't use any medications or suffer from any chronic conditions. What could be causing this and what should I do?
