Question

I'm kind of worried because, for the last couple of days, every time I go to the bathroom, there's been a lot of mucus in my stool. I'm not sure what's going on. Can you tell me if this is something I should be concerned about?

This could be a sign of inflammation in your intestines. I recommend taking a probiotic like "Align" once a day to help restore the balance of good bacteria in your gut. Additionally, you can try taking an anti-inflammatory medication like Mesalamine to reduce inflammation. Make sure to stay hydrated and eat a diet high in fiber to help with bowel movements. If the symptoms persist, consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

I've been feeling better since recovering from dengue last month, but I'm worried because my SGPT level is at 168 UL and my SGOT is 40 UL. Should I be concerned about these levels being high? What could this mean for my health right now? Looking for some advice on what steps I should take next.

Question

I'm a 35-year-old woman who's been dealing with lax LES since 2019. The first signs were a persistent cough, and after an endoscopy, they diagnosed me with this condition. I've been sleeping on an elevated bed or wedge pillow since then, but I'm still struggling with the symptoms. It feels like a nightmare. Is there any real treatment for this? Right now, I'm dealing with constant heartburn, a sour taste in my mouth, a heavy chest, and some breathing issues. It's like I'm experiencing these symptoms non-stop. What can I do?
