I'm having this issue where I keep throwing up this yellowish, bitter liquid in the morning. It's really bothering me and I'm not sure what's going on. I also feel really nauseous when I try to eat, like my stomach's already full. It's quite uncomfortable. Any idea what might be causing this? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

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.

My dad has a 7mm gallbladder stone is there any treatment to cure it without surgery or is surgery the only option?
