I recently recovered from jaundice, and my bilirubin levels were as high as 15. I'm feeling better now, but I'm curious about when it would be safe for me to get back to the gym. Also, is it okay to start taking my protein shakes and other dietary supplements again?

After recovering from jaundice with a bilirubin level of 15, it is important to give your body enough time to fully recover before resuming intense physical activity and taking dietary supplements. It is recommended to wait at least 4-6 weeks after your bilirubin levels have returned to normal before gradually reintroducing exercise. When you do start exercising again, start slowly and listen to your body. As for protein shakes and dietary supplements, it is best to consult with a nutritionist or dietitian to determine the right timing and dosage based on your individual needs. It is important to focus on a balanced diet with whole foods to support your recovery and overall health.

Could you suggest some medicines, creams, or dietary changes that might help with this?

I've been having this intense pricking sensation right at the opening of my anus whenever I pass stools. It's not exactly painful the rest of the time, and there's no bleeding involved. I'm kind of worried about what might be causing this. Could it be something that needs attention or do you have any advice on how to deal with it?

It could be due to various reasons which requires physical examination to evaluate, suggesting for surgical consultation.

I'm really worried about my ALTSGPT level, which is at 65 UL, and my creatinine is 0.64 mgdL, with chloride at 100 mEqL. Are there any complications I should be aware of with these levels? Should I be thinking about getting more tests done, or maybe making some changes to my diet? Any advice would be really appreciated.

don't worry it's not more than excess
