Question 1

I was diagnosed with an 11mm gall bladder stone last year and currently can't get surgery because of covid. Are there any medicines that can help dissolve the stone or at least manage the pain and vomiting until I can get the operation

Accepted Answer

Gallstones can sometimes be managed with ursodeoxycholic acid; however, surgery is the definitive treatment once symptoms appear.

Question 2

I'm really worried about my recent ultrasonography report. It says I have hepatomegaly, a fatty liver, and a fatty pancreas. I took Udiliv 300 for three months last year, but the fatty liver is still there. What can I do to improve my liver condition and overall health? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Fatty liver and pancreatitis require lifestyle changes for improvement. Focus on a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and reduce alcohol intake. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight are crucial. You may also want to consult a healthcare provider to evaluate whether further treatment or changes to your medication are necessary.

Question 3

I'm really worried about my husband. He's 30 years old, with a height of 5.4 ft and weighs 64 kg. We stay in Germany, and he's been having a rough time with his health lately, especially with frequent gastric issues. His cholesterol levels have been all over the place. The first test showed a triglycerides level of 701, and even though it went down to 516 on the second test after three months, it's still pretty high, right? His HDL is at 21 and LDL at 46, with a Lipase of 46 UI and TSH at 1.22 microUml. Are these numbers something we should be concerned about? What could be causing these gastric problems? We really need some guidance on what steps to take next.

Accepted Answer

Based on the information provided, your husband's high triglyceride levels and low HDL cholesterol levels may be contributing to his gastric issues. To help manage his triglyceride levels, he can take Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Additionally, to improve his HDL levels, he can take Niacin 500mg once daily. For his gastric issues, he can take Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast. It is also important for him to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, and to engage in regular physical activity to improve his overall lipid profile and gastric health.

What food is impossible to fuck up?

May be food containing high saturated fats.
