I've just gotten my liver function test results and everything seems normal except for my globulin levels, which are reported at 2.7 gdL. I'm a bit worried and curious about why this might be happening. Could you help me understand what this means? I've attached the report for reference.

no need to worry as If 2.7 gdL is close to the lower end of the normal range, it might simply be a natural variation.

I'm having some stomach issues and it's got me worried. A couple of weeks ago, I started experiencing anxiety, a burning sensation in my stomach, constipation, and bloating. I saw a gastroenterologist and he prescribed me Rablet D for my stomach and Prothiadan 25 for my sleep and anxiety. Thankfully, my sleep and anxiety seem better now, and the burning sensation has mostly gone, except for that warm feeling when I eat something spicy or from outside. However, I'm still concerned because my stool isn't clearing properly and I feel gassy. My endoscopy came back normal, but my stool is mainly yellow or pale yellow, and I'm worried it might be a sign of malabsorption. I eat out a lot but I don't drink much and I'm a nonsmoker. There's also this knotty feeling on the side of my stomach and some slight back aches when my bowel isn't clear. Could you advise what my next step should be?

Given your persistent gas, indigestion, and yellowish stool despite normal endoscopy results, consult your gastroenterologist about potential malabsorption issues, and consider further tests, such as stool tests for pancreatic elastase or fecal fat, breath tests for small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), or a hydrogen breath test to assess carbohydrate absorption, to determine the underlying cause and guide treatment.

I'm having some gas issues lately and after I work out, I've been getting this pinpoint pain on the left side of my chest. It first happened a couple of weeks ago and again yesterday. The pain wasn't super strong, but it was there, and I also had some trouble breathing and felt a bit nauseous. What could be going on?

it might be gastritis, take tablet pantoprazole once daily for 5 days

I have a 31mm gall bladder calculus but my gallbladder wall thickness and CBD are normal. Is it possible to treat this without surgery? If I do get surgery, will the stones come back again?

Yes, it's possible to treat a 31mm gallbladder calculus without surgery, and the likelihood of stones returning after surgery varies. While surgical removal (cholecystectomy) is often the preferred treatment for symptomatic gallstones, non-surgical options like medication or percutaneous cholangioscopy may be considered. The risk of gallstones returning after surgery is low if the gallbladder is removed.
