I'm having trouble eating spicy foodsthey just really don't sit well with me, even though I've seen my doctor and the blood tests came back normal. I don't have any mouth ulcers or anything like that either. What could be going on here? Any ideas?

Is 70 a high ALT level?

Usually, the upper limit of ALT is 35 - 40 U/L. Moderate increase in ALT (such as 70 U/L) is seen in chronic hepatitis, chronic obstruction of bile ducts, heart damage, alcohol abuse, liver tumor, skeletal muscle damage. In any acute liver conditions, ALT is much more elevated.

My doctor switched me from lactifiber to lactihep plus for my hard stools. I'm supposed to take 10ml, but I'm not sure how much water I should mix it with. Could you guide me on this?

You can mix 10 ml of Lactihep Plus in about half a glass of water (around 100-150 ml) and drink it. Follow it up with plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and help with stool softening.

I've been dealing with this itching around my anus that just won't go away, even though I try to keep everything super clean and dry. It's been a few months now, and while using mustard oil gives me some relief, it only works for a little bit. What could it be, and how can I get rid of it for good?

Fading Pregnancy Test Line _Possible Interpretations_ 1. *Declining hCG levels*: Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is the hormone detected by pregnancy tests. A fading line might indicate decreasing hCG levels, which could be a sign of: - Miscarriage or impending miscarriage - Ectopic pregnancy - Miscalculated gestational age 2. *Diluted urine*: If your urine is more diluted when taking the second test, it might affect the test's sensitivity, resulting in a lighter line. 3. *Test sensitivity*: Different pregnancy tests have varying sensitivities. A less sensitive test might produce a lighter line. _Next Steps_ 1. *Schedule an ultrasound*: Book an ultrasound appointment with your healthcare provider to confirm the pregnancy and check for any potential issues. 2. *Repeat the test with a more sensitive test*: Try using a more sensitive pregnancy test to see if the line appears darker. 3. *Consult your healthcare provider*: Discuss your concerns and test results with your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
