I've been noticing dark blood in my stools over the past week, and I used to have some gastric problems before. I'm really worried about what's causing this. What could be going on, and what's the best care I can take for this? Can anyone help me understand this better?

I'm really concerned because my SGPT level is at 370. Is this something that can be treated? Could you let me know what kind of medicine I should be taking and how often, to bring it back to the normal range?

To reduce it to normal range, you can take medications like Ursocol, Liv 52, and HepaMerz. These medications can help in improving liver function. It is important to consult a doctor for proper dosage and duration of treatment.

I'm dealing with an H. pylori infection and a peptic ulcer. The doctor advised me to take Amox 500mg, Sampraz 40, Metrogyl 400mg, and Claribid 500mg for 15 days. Is this enough to treat the H. pylori? Lately, I've also been experiencing stomach pain. Could you recommend the best test to confirm if the H. pylori infection is still present?
