Can I drink water right after eating a banana, or should I wait a bit? I'm wondering if doing this could cause any digestive issues.

I've been dealing with chronic gastritis since October 2013, but back then my liver tests were normal and my liver fibroscan didn't show any issues. Recently, my lab results showed total bilirubin at 1.46 with direct at 0.36 and indirect at 1.10, SGOT at 22.90, and SGPT at 28.30. Ive been taking Rekool10 for a few months as well as avas 10 since February 2015 for cholesterol and olsartan AM 205. Should I be worried about my liver or these test results? How is this connected to my ongoing gastritis problem? Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything here.
