Question

I'm really worried because my GGT level has gone up to 250. Is there any way to bring it down in about a week or so? Could you suggest any medications or treatments that might help? I'm really looking forward to your advice.

Elevated GGT levels can be indicative of liver or bile duct issues. To help lower your GGT levels, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). This medication can help improve liver function and reduce GGT levels. Additionally, you should avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy diet, and stay hydrated to support liver health.

Question

My mom recently had a checkup, and it turns out she has a few gallbladder stones, with the largest being 57 mm. I heard about bile acid therapy and was wondering if that's a good way to deal with the stones without surgery since she doesn't have any pain or symptoms right now. Could you suggest the best doctor or treatment approach for this situation?

I just took Redotil for my diarrhea, but it didn't seem to work because I still had a stool about 15 minutes after. I'm a bit worried and unsure about what to do next. I have Roko and Imodium at home, but I'm not sure about the right dosage. Can you please give me some advice on what to do?
