Brief Answer:
I will advise you for stool examination.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to H.C.M.

I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Sticky stool are usually due to a increased mucous discharge in stool.

Causes behind sticky stool is -
1) Constipation
2) Infection
3) IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome)

I assumed that you do not have any other symptoms like frequent bowel movements, abdominal pain etc.(if you have any then please tell me in follow up)

This sticky stool is not related to your Tablet Montair LC.

I advise my patients for Complete blood count and Stool examination.

I advise following diet for my patients with sticky stools-
1) Consume an adequate amount of fluids daily (at least 9-12 cups of fluid daily),
2) Increase curd, dietary fiber with either fruits, vegetables, or soluble fiber supplements.
3) Avoid spicy food, tea, coffee and smoking.
4) Use salads in your diet along with leafy greens.

Stool examination is must so please do not forget this.

5) Continue your Tablet Montair LC and Rablet 20 mg as advised by your doctor.

Hope this answers your question.
Please do not hesitate for any query and if you have any symptoms instead of sticky stool then tell me.

I will be happy to answer your questions.

Brief Answer:
Dietary modification and Stool examination.

Detailed Answer:
I am happy to help you.

Do not worry about this fart.

Follow these steps-

1) Sulfur-rich your diet is common cause of bad smell of fart .

Some foods contain more sulfur than others, which is why eating things like beans, vegetables like cabbage, garlic, onions, cheese, soda, and eggs can cause bad fart so decrease these in your diet.

High fiber diets also act as natural laxative so decrease constipation and helps you to have regular bowel movements and also decrease bad smell fart.

2) Again same thing is that you need stool examination for further management.

3) Continue diet as advised you in previous answer.


Please do not hesitate for any query.

I will be happy to answer your questions.
