I'm really stressed about my liver enzyme levels; my SGPT is at 274 and SGOT is 290. I did see an ayurvedic doctor and have been on some herbal medication. I've also been cycling 8 km daily and cut out oily and fatty foods for the past couple of weeks, but instead of getting better, my enzyme levels went up! A month ago, my SGPT was 290 and SGOT was 169. I'm worried because Ive got a job abroad and these high levels are causing issues with my medical tests. Could you suggest any treatment or medication I should consider to bring these levels down quickly? I really need guidance on what I should do next.

Consuming milk after eating chicken is generally safe for most people, including pregnant women.

No Major Side Effects

1. No scientific evidence: There's no conclusive evidence to suggest that combining milk and chicken causes significant harm.
2. Protein and calcium benefits: Milk provides essential calcium, while chicken offers protein, both crucial for pregnant women.

Pregnancy Considerations

1. Food safety: Ensure chicken is cooked thoroughly to avoid foodborne illnesses, which can be more severe during pregnancy.
2. Lactose intolerance: If you're lactose intolerant, consuming milk may cause discomfort, but this isn't specific to eating chicken.

Precautions

1. Choose low-fat or fat-free milk: High-fat dairy products may exacerbate digestive issues.
2. Select cooked chicken: Avoid undercooked or raw chicken to minimize foodborne illness risks.

In summary, drinking milk after eating chicken is safe for pregnant women when following proper food safety guidelines and being mindful of lactose intolerance and digestive comfort.
