For a couple of years now, I've been dealing with having to go to the toilet about 5 or 6 times a day. There's no stomach pain, but there's this discomfort that makes me feel better temporarily after going. There's no pain or burning when using the toilet. What might this be about, and could you suggest some solutions?

Sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). I recommend trying a combination of dietary and lifestyle changes to help manage your symptoms. Increase your fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Drink plenty of water and avoid trigger foods such as caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods. Regular exercise and stress management techniques can also be helpful. Additionally, you can try over-the-counter antidiarrheal medications to help control your bowel movements. If your symptoms persist, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned because my SGPT level is at 370. Is this something that can be treated? Could you let me know what kind of medicine I should be taking and how often, to bring it back to the normal range?

To reduce it to normal range, you can take medications like Ursocol, Liv 52, and HepaMerz. These medications can help in improving liver function. It is important to consult a doctor for proper dosage and duration of treatment.

I've been dealing with a stomach ache for the past couple of days, and it's really starting to worry me. The pain only lasts a few minutes each time it hits, but it's happening multiple times a day at random intervals. It feels like something's tightening up inside my stomach and squeezing it hard for a moment. What could be causing this? Any advice would be really appreciated.
