I'm really worried about my recent test results. My SGPT is at 82, my SGOT is normal, but my GGT is 158, and my LDH is 458. On top of that, my triglycerides are at 178. What does this all mean, and what should I do next?

I'm really struggling with a mouth ulcer that's been bothering me for a week now and the pain's becoming unbearable. I first tried smily cream for a couple of days but it didn't help at all. Then a friend gave me some kenacort gel and I've been using that for a couple of days along with taking a B complex capsule. Just today, an MBBS friend of mine suggested I try pantop 40 and BBiotic capsule, plus apply zytee gel. I started this new treatment tonight, on the 15th of September. Is there anything else you would recommend? I've never had an ulcer last this long, usually it gets better within a day or two. The pain's really affecting my ability to eat and now my stomach's been off too. I'm just wondering if there's a better way to tackle this.

Excessive Belching (Burping)_ 1. _Swallowing air_: Gulping down food, drinking carbonated beverages, or eating too quickly can lead to swallowing air, which contributes to belching. 2. _Digestive issues_: Conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) can cause excessive belching. 3. _Food intolerance_: Lactose intolerance, gluten sensitivity, or fructose malabsorption can lead to belching, bloating, and discomfort. 4. _Hormonal changes_: Hormonal fluctuations during menopause, pregnancy, or thyroid disorders can affect digestion and lead to belching. _Stomach Protrusion (Protruding Abdomen)_ 1. _Visceral fat accumulation_: Excess fat around the abdominal organs can cause the stomach to protrude. 2. _Muscle weakness_: Weak abdominal muscles can contribute to a protruding abdomen. 3. _Digestive issues_: Conditions like ascites, hernias, or intestinal obstruction can cause abdominal swelling. _Recommendations_ 1. _Consult a gastroenterologist_: Schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and determine the underlying cause. 2. _Dietary changes_: Avoid trigger foods, eat smaller meals, and incorporate low-FODMAP foods to alleviate digestive discomfort. 3. _Probiotics and digestive enzymes_: Consider adding probiotics and digestive enzymes to support gut health and digestion. 4. _Exercise and physical activity_: Engage in regular exercise, such as core strengthening and aerobic activities, to improve overall health and reduce visceral fat. 5. _Manage stress_: Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to help alleviate digestive issues.

I'm a bit worried because I had an endoscopy biopsy about 32 hours ago, and now the color of the pylo dry has turned pink. Should I be concerned about this change? Does it mean the biopsy might be positive?
