Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of gastrointestinal issues such as gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or even a parasitic infection. To address these symptoms, I recommend the following: 
1. For frequent burping and gas: You can try taking Simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg tablets as needed to help relieve gas and bloating. 
2. For mucus in stool and abdominal pain: You can try a probiotic supplement like Align Probiotic Supplement to help restore the balance of good bacteria in your gut.
3. For constipation and irregular bowel movements: You can try a gentle laxative like MiraLAX (Polyethylene Glycol 3350) to help soften stools and promote regular bowel movements.
4. For possible parasitic infection: It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper testing and treatment with medications such as Albendazole or Mebendazole, if necessary. 
Please note that these recommendations are general in nature and it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Accepted Answer

After recovering from jaundice with a bilirubin level of 15, it is important to give your body enough time to fully recover before resuming intense physical activity and taking dietary supplements. It is recommended to wait at least 4-6 weeks after your bilirubin levels have returned to normal before gradually reintroducing exercise. When you do start exercising again, start slowly and listen to your body. As for protein shakes and dietary supplements, it is best to consult with a nutritionist or dietitian to determine the right timing and dosage based on your individual needs. It is important to focus on a balanced diet with whole foods to support your recovery and overall health.

I'm feeling really nauseous and getting vertigo after taking the ipill. I'm also feeling really weak. Is there anything specific I should avoid eating? Maybe there's a diet plan you can suggest to help with these symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Your liver function test results show slightly elevated SGPT (49) and bilirubin levels.

The bilirubin indirect level (1.47) is close to the upper limit of normal.

Fibrosis value (liver stiffness) of 6.3 kPa indicates mild fibrosis.

Consult your doctor or a gastroenterologist to discuss these results.

They may recommend further tests, such as an ultrasound or liver biopsy, to assess liver health.

In the meantime, maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption.
