I recently had an LFT done and I'm a bit concerned about the results. My AST (SGOT) is at 174 UL, my ALT (SGPT) at 296 UL, and GGTP at 46 UL, although all other LFT results are normal. Can you help me understand what might be causing these elevated levels and suggest what kind of treatment I should consider? Also, would a general physician be enough for this, or should I see a liver specialist?

So I just got my full body check-up done at the health camp at work, and I'm 39, by the way. All my tests were pretty standard - blood tests and ECG and all that. The results seemed okay, but I noticed my alkaline phosphatase levels are high. The thing is, I feel fine and don't have any issues that I'm aware of. Could you tell me what symptoms might show up with high alkaline phosphatase?
A high alk phos level occurs when there is a blockage of flow in the biliary tract or a buildup of pressure in the liver--often caused by a gallstone or scarring in the bile ducts.

I've just finished a 14-day treatment for H. pylori, and while most of my symptoms are gone, I'm still having stomach issues. Eating out or having chicken seems to upset my stomach, and I end up with loose motions. I'm mostly eating food from a mess, so I'm wondering what kind of diet I should stick to and what types of food I should avoid to prevent this from happening. Can you help me figure out a plan?
After completing an H. pylori treatment, it is important to follow a specific diet to prevent stomach upset and loose motions. You should follow a bland diet that includes easily digestible foods. Here are some dietary recommendations: - Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day - Consume foods that are low in fat and fiber - Include foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet) - Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated - Avoid spicy, greasy, and fried foods - Limit or avoid dairy products, caffeine, and alcohol - Avoid eating outside or in places where food hygiene may be compromised
