I'm having some issues after taking this ayurvedic weight gain powder for a few months. I don't feel hungry, sometimes there's vomiting, and even food smells weird to me now. My blood tests show high SGOT and SGPT levels, and I'm tired all the time. I'm really worried about what's going on. What steps should I take to feel better?

View allI've noticed my SGOT is at 93 and SGPT is at 89, and it's got me a bit worried. What can I do to bring these levels down to a healthier range? Any advice would be really appreciated!
Elevated SGOT and SGPT levels indicate liver damage or inflammation. To help reduce these levels, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid. Additionally, you can take Silymarin at a dosage recommended by your consulting doctor. These medications can help improve liver function and reduce inflammation. It is also important to avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy diet low in fat and sugar, and exercise regularly to support liver health.

I'm experiencing loose motion and some pain in my lower abdomen for around 36 hours now. I've also been having some gastric problems over the past few months. I do a lot of bike rides and spend long hours sitting and working on my laptop. Can you please suggest what might help?
It sounds like your gastric issues might be worsening, possibly due to sitting for long periods or stress from travel. To ease your symptoms, try to stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals, and consider using a heat pad for abdominal pain. If the discomfort persists or worsens, its best to see a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm dealing with hemorrhoids for about a year and a half now, and I'm really eager to find a solution. Could it be an issue if I start going to the gym or playing sports? Any advice would be great!
Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath. Soak your anal area in plain warm water 10 to 15 minutes two to three times a day..... Don't use dry toilet paper. To help keep the anal area clean after a bowel movement, use moist towelettes or wet toilet paper that doesn't contain perfume or alcohol. Apply cold. Apply ice packs or cold compresses on your anus to relieve swelling. With these treatments, hemorrhoid symptoms often go away within a week.
