I've been dealing with pain in the upper right side of my abdomen for about 34 days now. I decided to get an SGPT test and my results came back at 68 points, which I know is on the high side. At first, I tried taking Silymarin 140 mg tablets but didn't see much improvement. Now I'm on Ursodeoxycholic acid tablets, 300 mg twice a day, and I've been doing that for the last 2 days, but my liver pain hasn't eased up. What should I do next?

Based on your symptoms and the medication you have already tried, I recommend adding a liver protective agent like Liv 52 DS tablets. You can take 2 tablets twice a day after meals for better liver support. Additionally, it is important to follow a low-fat diet, avoid alcohol, and stay hydrated. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been having daily loose motions right after I eat anything, and it feels like I always have to rush to the washroom. It's gotten to a point where I cant really control it. What could be causing this, and how can I manage it?

I've been told I have a couple of stones in my left kidney and gallbladder. The kidney stones have dissolved, but my latest ultrasound shows the gallstones are still forming. I'm really hoping to find a way to treat these gallstones without having to remove my gallbladder. I'm currently on UDILIV 300. Do you think there are other options?

While surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is a common treatment for gallstones, there are alternative treatments for small, uncalcified gallstones in the early stages of formation; Udiliv 300, which you're currently taking, contains ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), a bile acid that can help dissolve small, cholesterol-rich gallstones; other non-surgical options include watchful waiting, dietary changes
