Question 1

I'm really concerned about my weight. I'm quite obese at the moment and really need to drop around 10 kg quickly. With my height at 5 feet 2 inches, I'm curious, what's the ideal weight I should aim for? Could you suggest some effective ways to get there?

Accepted Answer

It seems you're experiencing chronic constipation and using Eldoper (Loperamide) to manage symptoms.

_Eldoper's Impact on the Liver_

Loperamide is generally considered safe, but long-term use can cause:

1. Liver enzyme elevation
2. Rare cases of liver damage

_Approach to Address the Issue_

1. Consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation.
2. Discuss alternative treatments, such as:
    - Fiber supplements
    - Laxatives (e.g., Psyllium, Bisacodyl)
    - Probiotics
    - Bowel habit modification
3. Consider colonoscopy or other diagnostic tests to rule out underlying conditions.
4. Monitor liver function tests (LFTs) regularly if you continue using Loperamide.

_Additional Tips_

1. Increase fiber intake through diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains)
2. Stay hydrated
3. Establish a regular bowel routine
4. Avoid relying solely on Loperamide for symptom management
