I'm worried about my brother. His SGOT is at 80 and SGPT is 50. He doesn't drink much, maybe once a month, and he's on the heavier side. My dad had hepatitis B, but my brother was tested four years ago after my dad passed away, and his test came back negative. I'm really concerned about what could be going on with him. Could you help figure out what's happening?

It's essential to address the underlying cause of your stomach bloating and backache. Consider the following steps: Consult a gastroenterologist to rule out conditions like IBS, SIBO, or gastroparesis. Undergo tests like endoscopy, colonoscopy, or breath tests to identify the underlying cause. Avoid trigger foods, follow a low-FODMAP diet, and consider probiotics to alleviate symptoms.
