I've been doing annual medical tests and noticed that my Bilirubin levels are always high. Aside from that, everything else seems fine. My recent test results showed a Total Bilirubin of 2.57, with 0.63 Direct and 1.94 Indirect. Also, my 25OH Vitamin D Total is really low at 8.99 ngml, while the normal range is 30-100 ngml. Is this something to worry about? Do I need to make any changes? I already practice yoga for about 10 hours a week. What do you think?

Question

I'm having trouble with my bowel movements for the past two years. I've tried taking 12 full tablets of CremaLax to control it, but I'm worried about getting too used to it. I've also been eating a lot of fibrous vegetables, but they haven't really helped. Can you give me some advice on what else I could try?

Question

My friend has been experiencing stomach pain ever since she lifted a heavy bucket of water two days ago. She's tried some meds, but they didnt help at all. She even tried a massage to relieve the pain, but it seems to have made things worse. She saw a doctor who said its normal and will heal soon, but there's been no improvement. Should we be concerned, or is there something else we could try?

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?
