» Dear Doctors: My husband has prediabetes. I read that going for a walk after you eat can help your blood sugar, so I always do that. But my husband says when you sit down again, your blood sugar goes right back up, so what's the point? Is that true? I'm not giving up on him joining me.

Life, Published on 12/08/2025
» Dear Doctors: I am a vegan, and after a meal, I have uncomfortable and smelly intestinal gas. It has only ever eased when I took an antibiotic and after colonoscopy prep. I assume that's because these killed my gut bacteria. Is there a fast way to reset the gut? Is this problem a health risk?
