I've been told I have Marginal Hepatomegaly with diffuse fatty changes, but my liver function test is normal. My liver is 14.8 cm, I'm 30, Indian male, 5.6 feet tall, and I weigh 86 kg. I don't drink alcohol, soft drinks, or tea, and I walk for 30 minutes every day. I do take allergy meds. What should I do to get my liver back to normal?

Focus on weight loss through healthy eating and regular exercise. Eat a balanced, nutrient-rich diet high in fiber and antioxidants. Continue walking daily, and aim to increase physical activity gradually. Keep a healthy lifestyle with no alcohol and limiting processed sugars. Regularly follow up with your doctor for liver health monitoring and tests.

I'm really struggling with constipation and I've heard Isabgol might help. But I'm not sure how long I need to take it to see real results. Are we talking a few weeks, or could it take several months or even a year to completely get rid of the problem?

Isabgol (psyllium husk) can help alleviate constipation symptoms within 2-7 days, but for optimal results and to establish regular bowel habits, it's recommended to take isabgol consistently for at least 2-3 months, and ideally, as a long-term dietary supplement to support digestive health, under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

I'm having a problem where I need to go to the bathroom 2 to 3 times every morning, and it's not a complete bowel movement. This has been happening since I was born. Whenever I have to leave the house early, I take an Eldoper tablet to prevent more bathroom trips. I'm worried if taking Eldoper could seriously affect my liver. How should I handle this situation?
