Feeling like my stomach is empty even after I've eaten. Also, I've been having issues in the morning where I have to go to the bathroom like 2 or 3 times. Not sure what's going on. Any ideas on what this could be or what to do?

It all started with just a sore throat, and now she cant keep any food down at allit just comes back up. I'm really worried about her not being able to digest anything.

I've just found out that my bilirubin levels, including total, direct, and indirect, are all high, and my homocysteine levels are elevated too. Should I be worried about this, and what could it mean for my health? What steps should I take, or what lifestyle changes might help manage these levels better?

Bilirubin count total, direct, indirect are high. Homocysteine level is high. High bilirubin levels can indicate liver or bile duct issues. You can take Ursodiol 300mg to help lower bilirubin levels. For high homocysteine levels, you can take Folic Acid 1mg along with Vitamin B6 25mg and Vitamin B12 1000mcg to help lower homocysteine levels. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided on the medication packaging.
