Question 1

I'm a bit worried because my bilirubin level is at 1.56, and I'm not sure what exactly I should be eating. Is it okay to have khichdi and bananas while dealing with jaundice? Also, could you please suggest which vegetables might be good for me?

Question 2

I'm really worried about my wife. It's been about two months since she had our baby, and she's having really bad pain in her upper abdomen and back. We got an ultrasound done, and it showed multiple stones. Last month, she had a severe pain attack, and she's still having mild pain in her upper abdomen and between her ribs. Is removing the gallbladder the only solution, or are there other options we should consider? Would love some guidance on what we can do.

Accepted Answer

Given your wife's severe pain, multiple gallstones, and recurrent attacks, gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) may be the most effective treatment option

Question 3

I'm kind of worried because, for the last couple of days, every time I go to the bathroom, there's been a lot of mucus in my stool. I'm not sure what's going on. Can you tell me if this is something I should be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

This could be a sign of inflammation in your intestines. I recommend taking a probiotic like "Align" once a day to help restore the balance of good bacteria in your gut. Additionally, you can try taking an anti-inflammatory medication like Mesalamine to reduce inflammation. Make sure to stay hydrated and eat a diet high in fiber to help with bowel movements. If the symptoms persist, consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

I'm a bit confused about how to take Liv 52 tablets. Should I be having them before eating or after meals? Just want to make sure I'm doing it right.

The recommended dosage of Liv 52 is 2-3 tablets, 2-3 times a day, and it's best taken after food to minimize potential stomach upset
