Question

I've just finished a 14-day treatment for H. pylori, and while most of my symptoms are gone, I'm still having stomach issues. Eating out or having chicken seems to upset my stomach, and I end up with loose motions. I'm mostly eating food from a mess, so I'm wondering what kind of diet I should stick to and what types of food I should avoid to prevent this from happening. Can you help me figure out a plan?

Question

I've been experiencing severe pain around my knee for a while now, and it's really been bothering me. I think it might be related to gas in my stomach because after it passes, the pain seems to go away. But it's strange because it takes about 45 days for it to fully pass. Is there something I can do to help relieve the gas faster or ease the knee pain in the meantime? I'm really curious about why this is happening and if it's something I should be worried about.

Question

I've been dealing with some bilirubin level issues and it's got me a bit worried. So, around 40 days ago, my bilirubin was at 2.27 and my doctor put me on Udiliv 300mg for 10 days. Thankfully, all the HAV, HCV, and HBs tests came back negative. After a week of the meds, my levels dropped to 1.4, which was great. I kept taking the meds till September 8th and followed a strict diet. But when I checked again on September 18th, the bilirubin jumped back up to 2.6, even though everything else like SGOT, SGPT, protein levels were fine. Then, on October 4th, it increased again to 2.83. I'm really puzzled about what's causing this. Could you shed some light on why my bilirubin keeps rising like this?
