Banana are good source of potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6 and dietary fibers which is good for an over-all good health including liver. As banana is also a rich source of sugars and carbohydrates, it is better to consume in moderation.

Question

I'm experiencing something concerning when I eat. After meals, I tend to get heartburn, feel nauseous, and have gas issues. Could you tell me if it's safe to take bifilac and sodium bicarbonate capsules for this?

Question

I'm 29 and recently got over Typhoid, but now I'm dealing with Jaundice. After a month of treatment, my Bilirubin levels have gone down from 7.3 to 3.2, but my SGPT is at 65.3 and SGOT is at 86, and they haven't really decreased much. Should I be worried about those levels not going down? What could this mean?

Question

I'm seeing blood in my mucus pretty often throughout the past month. I did a PT Prothrombin time test, and it was 15 seconds, which seems higher than the normal range of 14.4 seconds. But the INR is 1.17, which I think is okay. I'm wondering if the bleeding is linked to some liver issues or if having a PT of 15 seconds is still considered normal? Do you think I should go for a Liver Function Test (LFT) to check what's going on?
