I'm dealing with chronic gas issues and lately, it's been causing me breathing problems too. It gets better when I pass gas, so I'm wondering, is there any chance that the gas is somehow affecting my windpipe?

I've been dealing with a fatty liver, and just a couple of months ago, my SGPT levels were at 96. Now, thanks to medication, they've dropped to 63. But now I'm concerned because my direct bilirubin has gone up to 0.6, whereas it was normal before. Should I be worried about this change in bilirubin, and does it mean anything serious about my liver condition or overall health?

Your SGPT levels have improved with medication, but your direct bilirubin has increased. This could indicate ongoing liver inflammation or damage. I recommend you continue with your current medication and also consider adding Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to help improve liver function and reduce bilirubin levels. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for monitoring and further guidance.

I've heard bile salt supplements and choline might help but I'm not sure which ones to take or how much. Can you recommend specific types or brands that would work best for post-surgery digestion problems? Also, are there any side effects I should watch out for?

yes advised ,conservative therapy.
