I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with chronic constipation and gastritis for the last 25 years. It's been such a long time, and I'm not sure what to do about it. I've noticed that my weight is 52 kgs, and I'm around 5 feet 6 inches tall. Is there something I might be missing or should be asking about? What steps can I take to improve my condition?

For chronic constipation, you can try taking Metamucil (psyllium) 1 tablespoon mixed with water once or twice daily can help regulate bowel movements. For gastritis, you can take Prilosec (omeprazole) 20mg once daily before breakfast for 4-8 weeks to reduce stomach acid production and alleviate symptoms. It is also important to avoid spicy, acidic, and fatty foods that can trigger gastritis flare-ups.

I was recently diagnosed with mild jaundice and fatty liver, and my doctor suggested seeing a dietician. They also found gallstones but said to hold off on surgery until my liver improves. Should I be worried about delaying the gallstone surgery, and what kind of diet changes would help my liver recover faster?
for fatty liver start orange juice with olive oil and garlic and ginger
