I have digestive issues where I pass stool soon after eating. I am underweight for my height. Could you suggest a suitable diet and management plan to improve my digestion and weight?

Passing stool soon after eating can be due to an overactive gastrocolic reflex or conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome, especially if it happens frequently. Focus on eating small, regular meals that are easy to digest, include protein (eggs, dal, curd), healthy calories (nuts, banana, rice, ghee), and avoid very spicy, oily, or processed foods that can trigger bowel movements. Stay hydrated, eat slowly, and try to manage stress, as it can affect digestion. For weight gain, increase calorie intake gradually with nutritious foods rather than junk food. If symptoms persist, worsen, or are associated with loose stools, pain, or weakness, consult a doctor for proper evaluation and guidance.
Is Gaviscon Double Action syrup sugar‑free?
Dr Bayyarapu Kumar
M Pharmacy
The product label of Gaviscon Double Action syrup does not clearly state whether it is sugar‑free. If you need a sugar‑free option, for example, due to diabetes or any other medical condition or dietary restriction that limits sugar intake, it is safest to check with your doctor or pharmacist and choose a product that is clearly labelled sugar‑free.
