Question

My name is Sonu Kumar, I'm 25, and I'm dealing with a liver issue. The ultrasound showed my liver is fatty and grade 1. Before this, the size of my liver was large. I'm really worried about what this means for my health. Can you help me understand what's happening and what I should do next?

Question

I woke up feeling pretty off with bad stomach pain, nausea, dizziness, bloating, and really awful-smelling burps and farts. I haven't actually vomited, but I'm feeling kind of backed up. What's going on with me?

Question

I'm really struggling with this whole breath situation that's been going on for about two years. It smells like feces and it just seems like it gets worse when I drink coffee, eat sweets, or even just bread. Lately, it doesnt matter what I eat, the smell's there. Im 22 and in college, so avoiding people isn't really an option, and it's super embarrassing. Ive done a ton of research and tried brushing like five times a day, flossing, and even scraping my tongue, but nothing's working. This past week, it got even worse, and chewing gum just doesnt hide it anymore. I'm worried I might drive people away with my breath! Ive got this bad bitter taste in my mouth, and even drinking lots of water isnt helping. I know I have post-nasal drip, GERD, and an aching root canal molar that was redone but still hurts. Are any of these causing my breath issue? How can I fix this? It's really getting me down.
