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 been having this issue for the last 45 days with these excessive and weird burps, and there's a small pain just below my ribs. I've been taking rabcer20 morning and night for the past couple of days before eating, and it provides some relief, but these burps are still happening. On the first day, I even threw up at night shortly after eating. Any idea what's going on? It also feels like there's a little gas bubble just below my ribs, and I can't sit comfortably, especially after meals or even just drinking water. There's also a lot of bloating, and my stomach feels really full and heavy right after eating or drinking. Could it be anything related to my appendicitis surgery that I had when I was 16? I'm 28 years old and male. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
You may be experiencing symptoms of gastritis or acid reflux. I recommend you try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (brand name Gas-X) after meals to help relieve gas bloating. It's important to avoid spicy and acidic foods, as well as eating large meals close to bedtime. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Hey, I just got my Liver Function Test results and noticed some high readings: GGT at 243 and SGPT at 93. My ultrasound shows my liver is normal. What's going on here? My physician says everything's fine and no need to worry, but a doctor friend mentioned something called sugan in the liver. Could you help me make sense of this?
