I've been dealing with some digestive changes since my laparoscopic cholecystectomy a month ago. Now, every morning I'm usually going to the bathroom twice or even three times. What I find odd is that the first stool looks normal, but after I eat, the second one that comes out quickly, like within 15 or 20 minutes, is whitish. I recently got my liver profile checked, and my bilirubin is a bit high at 1.1 because of higher indirect bilirubin, and my ALT is 66. Although my appetite is good and digestion seems okay, I take Enzar Forte once at night after eating. I also have been taking Pan D in the morning on an empty stomach since being diagnosed with chronic gastritis from an endoscopy. Should I be worried about these symptoms? Is it something serious, or maybe related to my recent surgery?

-Your symptoms might be related to bile flow changes after gallbladder removal, which can sometimes cause variations in stool color and frequency. The slightly elevated bilirubin and ALT could warrant monitoring but don't seem alarming with your current d

I'm feeling a bit worried because last night, out of nowhere, I felt this weird vibration on the right side of my abdomen and it lasted for around 10 minutes. I also have this tingling sensation below my right rib cage, but it's not near the liver area. An ultrasound came back normal, so I'm confused about what's going on. I didn't feel any severe pain, but it was strange having my entire right side abs vibrating like something's moving inside. Could it have anything to do with the Zifi CV 200 and Zerodol sp I took for my sore throat before bed? Any insight would be appreciated.

since Ultrasonography is normal nothing much to worry. Have a gastritis tablet like pantop 30 min before food for 3 days

I had fistula surgery a month ago but I'm still seeing dark maroon blood in my stool. Is this normal or should I be worried? What could be causing this?

Seeing dark maroon blood in stool after fistula surgery, even a month later, is not normal and should be evaluated by a doctor. While some bleeding is expected in the initial stages of recovery, continued bleeding can indicate a complication or a return of the fistula

I'm really concerned because my recent tests showed some worrying results. My ultrasound pointed to a fatty liver, and my blood work showed that my levels are a bit off: SGOT is 138, SGPT is 245, GGT is 138, and alkaline phosphatase is 117. Plus, my globulin level is at 3.5. What could be causing these issues?

Indicative of liver inflammation and damage. To address this condition, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA. Additionally, it is important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding alcohol to improve your liver health.
