I've been having this uneasy feeling on the left side of my stomach for the past four months. It's mostly a lot of gas and acidity. I just got an ultrasound done, and it says I have a fatty liver. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?

My mom is 51 and has been dealing with acidity issues. Her recent endoscopy showed bile reflux. Can this be treated with medications or does she need surgery?

Bile reflux is usually treated with medications and, in some cases, surgery. While lifestyle changes and antacids can help with acid reflux, they are less effective for bile reflux.

I've been looking into taking Himalaya Liv 52, but I'm a bit confused about the right dosage. Should I be taking it before meals or after? Also, how many times a day is it recommended to take it? I'm just trying to make sure I get it right.

The recommended dosage of Himalaya Liv.52 is 2-3 tablets, 2-3 times a day, and it's best taken after food to minimize potential stomach upset, as Liv.52 is an ayurvedic herbal supplement designed to support liver health and detoxification.
