Hey, I just got my Liver Function Test results and noticed some high readings: GGT at 243 and SGPT at 93. My ultrasound shows my liver is normal. What's going on here? My physician says everything's fine and no need to worry, but a doctor friend mentioned something called sugan in the liver. Could you help me make sense of this?

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with stomach problems for the last two months, like cramps, abdominal pain, weird motions, mild fever, red eyes, and headaches. I first saw one gastro doctor who thought it was an infection and gave me some medications like Zifi, Satrogyl, and Nizonide. He wanted me to do a bunch of tests like colonoscopy, endoscopy, biopsy, CT scans, and blood tests. I went to another senior gastro in Noida, and he said it's IBS and no need for all those tests. But then after his 10-day course, the issues came back, and he also blamed another infection. Now, it's been about 20 days since my stomach has been better, and I'm taking Menoctyl, Enzar Forte, and Vizylac. What's really bothering me is that I've lost 8-9 kg of weight despite eating enough lately, and my weight isn't going up. Is this normal? Should I stick with the same gastro since I'm finally feeling some relief? The weight loss is freaking me out a bit.

I've been noticing my stomach has this pulsating sensation, especially when I'm sitting or sleeping upright. I've been dealing with IBS and gas, but the pulsating started around 8 months ago and it's got me a bit anxious. It even feels more intense when I start to think about it. It almost feels like a heartbeat. Should I be worried about this?

Pulsation of stomach is not related to IBS. Pulsation can be normally seen in thin build person where you will feel the pulsation at the exact time as the heart beat(there actually exist few microsecond difference but cannot appreciate) Different disease wherein we see the pulsation in stomach are Abdominal Aorta Aneurysm(AAA), vascular malformation, Thyroid disorders and many more for which you will need to do certain investigations.
