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'm really struggling with having frequent bowel movements, like 4 to 5 times a day, especially after eating. I used to have heartburn too, but that got better with some meds. Now, it's all about this diarrhea issue. Every time I eat, I have to rush to the washroom several times, and it's really impacting my daily life. I'm embarrassed around friends, can't travel, and find it hard to eat properly. It's unpredictable, and as soon as I feel the urge, I have to go. I recently had some tests done at AIG, and everything seemed okay except for a vitamin D deficiency of 8.6 ngml. Ive been to so many doctors, but I still can't find a solution, and it's really stressing me out. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
there can be many reasons like gastrocolic reflex IBS so consult gastro for the same

I'm dealing with recurring mouth ulcers and think it might be due to a Vitamin B complex deficiency, possibly B12. This has been going on for about a year. I notice that taking a multivitamin seems to help, but the problem comes back after a couple of months. I also have issues with acidity and high uric acid levels, though they're somewhat under control now. However, whenever I take a multivitamin, it causes a burning sensation in my abdomen. Could you provide some guidance on what might be going on and how to manage these issues?
That might not due to the tablet that could be due to acidity,consume bland diet take bcomplex supplements for 3 months and take more water to avoid acidity
