I've just found out that my bilirubin levels, including total, direct, and indirect, are all high, and my homocysteine levels are elevated too. Should I be worried about this, and what could it mean for my health? What steps should I take, or what lifestyle changes might help manage these levels better?

Bilirubin count total, direct, indirect are high. Homocysteine level is high. High bilirubin levels can indicate liver or bile duct issues. You can take Ursodiol 300mg to help lower bilirubin levels. For high homocysteine levels, you can take Folic Acid 1mg along with Vitamin B6 25mg and Vitamin B12 1000mcg to help lower homocysteine levels. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided on the medication packaging.

View allI've been experiencing a lot of strange noises coming from my stomach lately. It's like there's a constant rumbling, growling, and gurgling going on, especially after I use the washroom in the morning. I've also noticed that my trips to the bathroom have been a bit concerning since the latrine seems to be a slightly darker color. On top of that, I sometimes get hit with sudden bouts of what feels like dysentery. This has been happening for about 5 to 6 months now. Could you offer any insight into what's going on with my stomach?

I'm really worried because I've been having some bad stomach pains and vomiting. I've already tried taking Ulgel, Loxof 500, and Cyclopam, but nothing seems to be working. Could this be a serious gastrointestinal issue, or is there something else I should try to get some relief? How concerned should I be about this?
That looks like Acute Gastroenteritis vist Physician for appropriate management ,stay hydrated and consume bland food
