My doctor said I have an incompetent lower esophageal sphincter and I'm really worried because my brother told me GERD is incurable. Is there any way to heal this without surgery? I'm feeling pretty down about it.

as symptoms are suggestive of gastritis and GERD (GASTRO ESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE ).Need to follow some lifestyle changes. Take food timely. Avoid cabbage, capsicum, citrus fruits ( for a while). Don't drink water with food, take after 40 min. as much as needed thereafter. Don't lie down immediately after food. Finish night meal by 8.30 pm maximum. Go to bed after minimum 1 hour after dinner. Always keep stomach 1/4 th empty.Divide meal into 5-6 times a day. Avoid the particular food, which is being observed to cause bloating, fullness, upper abdominal pain/ discomfort, reflux symptoms etc. A good acid blocker is needed to check excess acid production.

View allI've been dealing with hepatitis A since last month, and I've noticed my SGPT levels are all over the place, sticking around 60-90 for the past two weeks. It's like they go down a bit and then shoot back up again. I'm trying to be careful with a bland diet and haven't been physically active, just doing stuff on the computer. Any idea why this is happening? Is it normal for SGPT to take a while to stabilize?
SGPT fluctuating after Hepatitis A is fairly common as your liver heals. It can take a few weeks to a couple of months for the levels to normalize, depending on the severity of the infection and your overall health. Keep following your doctor's advice on diet, rest, and lifestyle, and avoid any additional strain on your liver. If you continue to see fluctuations or have concerns, your doctor may recommend further testing to ensure full recovery.

I'm living in a hostel and I've been having trouble digesting the food from the canteen. It feels like my stomach just doesn't agree with it. Is there something specific I should look out for in the canteen food, or could it be something I need to change in my diet or habits? I'm a bit worried and could really use some advice on what might be causing this issue and how I might manage it.

I've been really constipated and my USG showed gaseous distension in the stomach are there any treatments besides medicines to get rid of the gas? Like, could surgery or something else help? It's pretty urgent and I'm not sure what to do
For gaseous distension and constipation, lifestyle changes like increasing fiber intake, hydration, and regular exercise can help. Surgery is rarely needed unless there’s a structural issue causing the gas retention.
