Box 1.

Examples of a short question submitted to MedlinePlus search box (A) and a long request sent to NLM customer services (B)

A. what medicine i will take if i have tension type headache
B. I have been suffering from digestive problems for 30 years. It has recently flared up bad and I am looking for ideas to try to heal. I was diagnosed with IBS at 13 in 1989. I was curious about the servings in the C-IBS Formulation. How's much of each in mgs? How many times a day? I want to take a more holistic approach as I'm going to be 42 and i am tired of suffering and the side effects of my anti nausea meds that left me with an eye tic. If any information can be given I would be greatly appreciative.
