I've noticed what seems like blood in my stool, and it's kind of worrying me. There's no blood when I wipe, and I only see it under the stool after it's been in the toilet for a while, almost like it's coming from inside. It's bright red right around the stool, but then it changes to this orange-yellow color further out. Should I be concerned about this?

I'm worried because my AST and ALT enzyme levels are high. Is it safe for me to take Liv 52 with these elevated enzymes? I'm also concerned because my alkaline phosphate and globulin levels are up too. Would taking Liv 52 worsen my condition, or could it help bring the levels down?

NO THEY ARE NOT DUE TO LIV 52. NO ANY HARM IF ALK. PHOSPHATE OR GLOBULINE IS HIGH. THESE VALUES CHANGE TIME TO TIME. SOME TIME FROM LABORATORY TO LABORATORY AS TECHNIC IS DIFFERENT. DON'T WORRY, CONTINUE LIV 52.
