I'm curious about using jeera water for digestion since I have a sensitive gut. How often should I drink it, and when is the best time during the day for it to be effective?

Jeera water can aid digestion, but for sensitive gut, start with small amounts (14 teaspoon of cumin seeds in 1 liter water) and observe tolerance; drink it 1-2 times a day, ideally after meals or before bedtime, and avoid drinking it on an empty stomach to minimize potential discomfort.

Question

I'm really worried because I went for an SGPT test and the value came back at 60. Do you think there's any problem with that? And also, the food feels really painful for me. Should I be concerned?

My ultrasound showed a thickened gallbladder wall with a 15mm polyp and a few small calculi. The doctor prescribed antibiotic drips twice a day for infection, but my stomach feels bloated like there's air inside. Is this serious? Can it be treated with just meds or will I need surgery?

Question

I've been dealing with some really bad-smelling burps since around 5 pm on 41317, and it's embarrassing how they clear the area. Plus, my mouth has this nasty taste. My stomach feels like it's full of gas even though I'm farting. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?
