I've been dealing with jaundice for the past two months, and I just can't seem to shake it off. My s. bilirubin count is currently at 1.8, but it was 1.4 just last week, so it keeps fluctuating. I was also diagnosed with a fatty liver, grade 2, and I'm not sure what the best way forward is. I'm 22 years old, weighing in at 94kg, and I'm not a drinker. I've cut out dairy and oily foods for two months now, but nothing's changed. Is there still a chance for me to recover completely? What's the best thing for me to do?

Question

I just got my health checkup results, and it says my bilirubin levels are high. It shows a total bilirubin of 1.65 mgdl, direct bilirubin at 0.5 mgdl, and indirect bilirubin at 1.15 mgdl. Should I be concerned? Why would my bilirubin levels be elevated, and how can I bring them back to normal? Also, the tests show a vitamin D deficiency with levels at 17.47 ngml, a high lymphocyte percentage at 49.1, and a low basophils absolute count of 0.01 x1000 L. I often feel very tired but dont have any other symptoms. What might all this mean?

Question

I've been dealing with these analrectal cuts and itching for almost a week now, and I think it's anal fissures. I'm using T Bact and Fucidin H cream, which seems to help, but the cuts keep spreading. Even after they heal, my skin still feels itchy and irritated. I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting these anal cuts so often, especially since there hasn't been any anal intercourse to stress the area. What should I do?

Question

I've been curious about my diet ever since I recovered from jaundice about 4 months ago. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to eat fish now. Also, I've been dealing with diabetes and I'm concerned about any foods I should avoid. Could you offer some guidance on what's safe for me to eat?
