I'm dealing with a burning feeling in my food pipe even when I eat simple foods. I also get acid reflux a lot, and sometimes I feel like throwing up when I eat or drink. I've had issues with acidity in the past. What could be causing this, and how can I find relief?

Your symptoms of constant burning sensation in the food pipe, acid reflux, and vomiting sensation while eating or drinking suggest gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), exacerbated by your history of aciditytake proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), antacids, lifestyle modifications, and dietary changes to alleviate symptoms

I'm really worried about my liver enzyme levels since my SGPT is at 184 and SGOT is 67. I've been on Udiliv 300 for the past three months, but it doesn't seem to be helping because the enzymes have gone up. My fasting blood sugar is at 100, and I'm also low on Vitamin D at 26. What do you suggest I do next?

Seems like your liver enzymes are still elevated despite taking Udiliv 300. I recommend adding Liv 52 DS to help improve liver function. You can take 2 tablets twice a day after meals. Additionally, you can consider adding Vitamin E supplement to support liver health. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and monitoring.

I'm dealing with pinworms in my stomach again and, from what I remember, I used to take ZENTEL for this when I was a kid. I'm really unsure about how to proceed. Could you guide me on what I should do?
