I'm a bit concerned about my recent liver test results. It says my liver is slightly enlarged at 14.8 cm, and there's a grade 3 diffuse fatty change. It mentions mild hepatomegaly with fatty liver, but the tests for Hepatitis A and C came back negative. My liver enzyme levels are SGOT 46.5, SGPT 91.5, and Gamma GT 97.1. I'm not a drinker, so that's not a factor. Could you help me understand what all this means for my health and what steps I should take next?

View allI've been dealing with IBS for the past 5 years, and honestly, it's been really tough. The symptoms like bowel discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, and constantly feeling like I need to go to the bathroom but can't, are just exhausting. I've done the endoscopy and colonoscopy, and my doctor confirmed it's IBS. They gave me some meds to try for 15 days, but unfortunately, I didn't feel any better. Is there any way to permanently treat this condition?
While there's no definitive "cure" for IBS, various treatments can help manage symptoms; consider consulting a gastroenterologist for personalized guidance, and explore options like gut-directed hypnotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, peppermint oil capsules, probiotics, fiber supplements, and low-FODMAP diets, which have shown promise in alleviating IBS symptoms, and in some cases, medications like antispasmodics, antidepressants, or laxatives may be prescribed to help manage specific symptoms.
