Frequent passing of loose stools can be a sign of diarrhea. You can try taking Electral or ORS solution to prevent dehydration. Additionally, you can take Imodium to help control the frequency of bowel movements. If the symptoms persist, it's important to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I recently had a general blood test, and most of my results look good. However, I'm a bit worried as my ALANINE TRANSAMINASE (SGPT) level is at 56.2 UI. Is this something I should be concerned about, or do you have any advice on what I should do next?

It's understandable to feel concerned, but an SGPT level of 56.2 UI is slightly elevated and may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. I recommend following up with your doctor for further evaluation, especially if there are any symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, or abdominal discomfort, to rule out liver-related conditions.
