View allI've been struggling with high bilirubin levels for a couple of years now, and I'm feeling quite worried. The doctors checked for gallstones with an ultrasound and didn't find any. They said I need to follow a good diet, but my bilirubin levels went from 1.8 to 2.2 and haven't improved. What could be causing this, and what kind of treatment should I consider? Could it be something other than diet? I have my lab reports if that helps.
High bilirubin levels can be concerning, especially if they have been persisting for 2 years despite following a good diet and ruling out gallstones in the bladder. One possible treatment option to help lower bilirubin levels is to use Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). UDCA can help improve bile flow and reduce the amount of bilirubin in the blood. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and make any necessary adjustments.

I'm having my meals at 11am and 7pm, but I skip eating in the afternoon. Around 3pm, I start feeling like my food isn't completely digested, and I'm taking unienzyme tablets twice a day for it. Do you think it's okay for me to take the unienzyme a third time around 3pm to help with this?
break down your CBC (Complete Blood Count) results: *Results Analysis* 1. *PDW (Platelet Distribution Width)*: 17.1 (Normal range: 10-17) - Your PDW is slightly elevated, indicating a possible variation in platelet size. 2. *WBC (White Blood Cell) Count*: 11.4 (Normal range: 4-9) - Your WBC count is elevated, suggesting a possible infection, inflammation, or stress response. 3. *HCT (Hematocrit)*: 41.8 (Normal range: 34-38) - Your HCT is slightly elevated, indicating a possible increase in red blood cell concentration. *Suggestions* 1. *Consult your doctor*: Discuss your results with your doctor to determine the underlying cause of these abnormalities. 2. *Infection or inflammation check*: Your doctor may recommend further tests to check for underlying infections or inflammation. 3. *Stress management*: Engage in stress-reducing activities, as stress can contribute to elevated WBC counts. 4. *Hydration*: Ensure adequate hydration to help maintain healthy blood cell counts. 5. *Follow-up tests*: Schedule follow-up tests to monitor your blood cell counts and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

I recently found out that I have grade 2 fatty liver, and it's really worrying me. I'm someone who doesn't drink alcohol at all, so I'm confused about how this happened. Is there a way to reverse this condition, and what steps should I take to do so?
Grade 2 fatty liver can be reversible with lifestyle changes. You should focus on a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight loss if needed. Avoiding alcohol is important. You can also consider medications like Ursodeoxycholic acid to help improve liver function. It is important to follow up with your doctor for monitoring and guidance.
