I'm really puzzled right now. I recently finished a course of Flagyl for what my gi doctor suspected was giardia since I was having diarrhea, stomach pains, and nausea. So today, I had a plain hamburger with some ketchup and cheetos, and my diarrhea came back for about 2 hours. I'm trying to figure out why this happened. Could it be something about the food I ate, or is there another issue I might be dealing with?

The return of diarrhea after eating could be related to the foods you ate or your bodys ongoing recovery from the giardiasis infection. Monitor your symptoms and adjust your diet accordingly. If symptoms dont improve or if they worsen, consider following up with your doctor to rule out any underlying issues or complications.

I'm dealing with grade 2 fatty liver, and I usually drink from moderate to heavy. They've mentioned it's a reversible condition but that it'll take time. I'm also a bit overweight.

Question

I've been feeling pretty rough with some nausea and fever on and off. I just got my test results back, and my bilirubin levels are showing a total of 1.3 with direct at 0.4 and indirect at 0.9. My SGPT is at 21.8 and SGOT at 25.9. Does this mean I have jaundice? I'm a bit worried and could really use some advice on how to manage my bilirubin levels.
