I’m really at a complete loss for what to do anymore, I have suffered with chronic constipation for about a year, I don’t go to the toilet unless I take a double does of laxative. I’ve been to multiple doctors and specialists and I’ve had a colonoscopy and all of them say there’s nothing wrong, I’ve also been tested negative for celiac disease and things like that. I have a mainly whole foods diet with lots of fibre and I haven’t eaten anything processed in a long time as I know that doesn’t help. I am also vegetarian and replace meat with things like eggs. I’ve tried cutting out so many food groups ( including gluten) and regularly eat things like flaxseed and prunes. I usually try and wait as long as I can before taking laxatives but usually end up having to take them after a week as I will literally not go to the toilet. I also bloat to the point of looking full term pregnant after everything I eat which is super painful. Doctors have also sort of given up on me as they can’t find an answer. A lot of the time the constipation gets so bad I become physically unwell and get fevers as I have the toxins in my bloodstream. I just wondered if anyone’s been through anything similar and if anyone has any advice? thanks in advance

I have woken up this morning with a pain in my throat and chest and it feels like a bubble. It almost feels like when your just about to burp and you can feel it coming but I can’t get rid of it. It’s really painful when I try to swallow anything and when I eat I can feel pain all the way down my oesophagus as the food travels down. I also feel really tired and am struggling to do day to day things. I have never had acid reflux before but I’m wondering if it’s that?  I’ve taken acid reflux medicine but it has done absolutely nothing. I have also not eaten anything that is different from my normal diet😣 any ideas on what is wrong and what I can do?? I would call the doctors but want to try everything before I do that. 

I had a test yesterday morning and am waiting on results but hoping it’ll be negative and I’ll get it before tomorrow as I’m meant to be at work tomorrow, how long has it taken for people? 

I’ve had my tank for 15 years ago and used to have a red claw crab which died 7 years ago, I’ve been thinking about getting another but not sure if it would be compatible with the fish I currently have. I have 2 gold tiger barbs, 4 platys, 2 Cory catfish and 1 kuhli loach, would a red claw crab be compatible with these? 

This evening I went to look at my fish and noticed  I couldn’t see one. My tank is only 30L and I did have 3 tiger barbs and 3 Cory catfish. However I was looking and could only see 2 of my tiger barbs this evening, after a while of looking I decided to open the filter and look through my entire fish tank (basically moved everything) and it literally nowhere to be seen. I am so confused as I know that it was there this afternoon as I was literally looking at it. It’s not like it could have jumped out my tank either as from the time I last saw it (this afternoon) to now I haven’t opened my tank and it’s been sealed shut. I feel like I’m going mad lol, is it possible that it could have died and been eaten by my other fish in such a short space of time?
