  • Gastroenterologist Warns Against Prolonged Toilet Sitting
    Dr. Josovitz advises against prolonged sitting and straining on the toilet, often caused by phone use. "Avoid straining during bowel movements," he warns, as it can lead to hemorrhoids, swollen veins in the rectum. This common issue is preventable with mindful bathroom habits.
  • Gastroenterologist Dr. Kenneth Josovitz Offers Insights on Gas Relief
    Dr. Josovitz explains that flatulence is normal, but diet often causes excessive gas. "Foods like dairy, artificial sweeteners, and high-fiber items can increase gassiness." Walking post-meals aids digestion. Seek medical help if passing gas over 20 times daily or experiencing severe symptoms like abdominal pain or rectal bleeding.
