Q: I am 36 years old, suffering from gas trouble since the past eight years. I get hard stools, with blood sometimes, pain in the lower abdomen, loss of body weight, etc. Kindly suggest a good medicine for me.

A:It sounds like you have a condition called 'Irritable Bowel Syndrome'. I suggest you do the following:1. Take Isabgol husk one tablespoonful daily, mix it with water or juice.2. Take regular exercise (1/2 hr of brisk walk, 4-5 times a week).3. Drink plenty of water: 5-6 glasses/day.
