I've got a bit of a situation with my grade 2 fatty liver. I've been walking around 34 kms every day, trying to keep active. I take Ursocol 300 twice daily after meals, but I've also been battling some acid reflux, which is adding to my stress and affecting my sleep. Lately, I've been having bowel movements 3 to 4 times a day. Just today, I ate a full plate of papaya in the morning, and by noon, I could smell papaya when I went to the bathroom. I noticed this before when I ate a couple of servings of cabbage and some spinach juice. I took a Darolac tablet at night to help with digestion. This never used to happen to me, and I'm a bit concerned. Could this be connected to my liver or should I be looking into something else?

View allI've been diagnosed with two gallstones 15.4 mm and 13.6 mm in my gallbladder. Is there any way to get rid of them or dissolve them without surgery? I'm really hoping to avoid an operation if possible. What are my options?
If your gallstones are small and you are unable to have surgery, you may be able to dissolve your cholesterol stones by taking ursodiol (Actigall, Urso), a naturally occurring bile acid, two to four times a day. Consult your doctor before taking any medications

I'm struggling with some really bad hunger pains. My stomach just keeps cramping and contracting, and I can't stop eating because it seems like the only way to make the cramps go away. It honestly feels like I'm hungry all the time. What could be causing this?
Experiencing persistent hunger and stomach cramps can be distressing. Here are some possible reasons and suggestions: *Possible Causes* 1. *Low Blood Sugar*: Fluctuations in blood sugar levels can trigger hunger and stomach cramps. 2. *Hormonal Imbalance*: Hormones like ghrelin and leptin regulate hunger and fullness. Imbalances can lead to increased hunger. 3. *Nutrient Deficiencies*: Lack of essential nutrients like protein, healthy fats, and fiber can cause hunger and cravings. 4. *Stress and Emotional Eating*: Stress can trigger hunger and emotional eating. *Suggestions* 1. *Eat Regular Meals*: Space out meals to maintain stable blood sugar levels. 2. *Incorporate Protein and Fiber*: Add protein-rich foods like lean meats, beans, and eggs, and fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. 3. *Stay Hydrated*: Sometimes, thirst can masquerade as hunger. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. 4. *Manage Stress*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. 5. *Consult a Healthcare Professional*: If hunger and stomach cramps persist, consult a doctor or registered dietitian to rule out underlying medical conditions.
