Im really worried about my dad's health. Hes been diagnosed with a gastrointestinal issue, and they found an ulcer. His hemoglobin levels are low, and even after doing a capsule video endoscopy and a bone marrow test, everything came back normal. Im not sure what steps we should take next. Also, when he eats, the food refluxes when he lies down, and if he walks a bit more, hes having trouble breathing. Hes currently on Ramcor H2.5 and Stamlo 2.5 for high blood pressure and Livogen and Benadan. Could this be affecting his condition? Hes had all these tests for iron deficiency anemia like endoscopy, colonoscopy, CT scan, and all that. I have the file with the details, but I cant share it here. Could you please let me know how we should proceed to find out what's wrong?

I've been dealing with acid reflux for 7 years and just found out I have a hiatal hernia after an endoscopy. Are there any non-surgical options to treat it? I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible.

I'm a bit concerned after having my gallbladder removed about six weeks ago, since my recent report shows fat changes in my liver and that its enlarged to 16.4 cm. The surgeon didnt mention anything about it, which has left me wondering how serious this might be. Im all about sticking to a low-fat diet and havent hit any bumps there, but Im curious about how I can help my liver reverse these fatty changes. Are there specific foods I should be eating or avoiding? Also, would adding a liver tonic to my routine be useful, and if so, could you suggest any? One last thing that's been on my mindcan I enjoy alcohol now, just in moderation and on occasion? I'm a 23-year-old male, 5'10", weighing 87 kg, and luckily, I dont have any issues with sugar levels or blood pressure.

Avoid drinking and smoking as they increase the load on your liver. Avoid fried foods and processed snacks. Restrict yourself from having spicy foods and try to opt for a bland diet. You may need to take liver protective medication such as Ursocol or Tricholine.
