Can I still have small amounts of white flour or alcohol like wine, beer, or vodka if I have gallstones, especially on days when symptoms flare up? What foods should I stick to if I'm delaying surgery for now?

I'm just getting over typhoid fever and I'm wondering about when it might be okay to have a beer again. How long should I wait after recovering before it's safe to drink alcohol?

It is advisable to wait at least 2-3 weeks after recovering from typhoid fever before consuming alcohol. This is to ensure that your body has fully recovered and to avoid any potential strain on your liver.

Is it possible that my liver might be damaged? How can I bring it back to a normal range? I'm not someone who drinks alcohol, but I have put on some weight since getting married about a year and a half ago. I'm feeling a bit anxious about this. Can you help me out?

-It's understandable to be concerned, but liver enzyme levels can rise due to various factors, including weight gain. Since you're not an alcoholic, focus on adopting a healthy diet, exercising, and managing your weight. It's always a good idea to follow

In my recent liver function test, my SGPT levels are at 51, while everything else is in the normal range. Should I be concerned about the SGPT being at 51? Also, are there any recommendations on what I can do or take to improve this?
