It can be because of lack of fibre in diet and rectal tenesmus due to intestinal conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, IBD, Hemorrhoids etc. Try to include high fiber foods such as Pears, strawberries, apple, oat meal, brown rice, banana, broccoli, green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach), avocado, carrots, tomato, beans and sweet potato in diet and take plenty of fluids.If issue still persist then consult a doctor.

I'm dealing with a lot of hyper acidity, and I've noticed I occasionally get palpitations. All my tests like blood work, ECG, and Echo are normal, but these palpitations have me worried. Is it possible that my acid reflux is causing these palpitations?

I've just been told I have grade 1 fatty liver, and I'm getting this pain around the liver area sometimes. All my blood work is coming back normal, which is good, but I'm still worried. Any thoughts on what I should do about the fatty liver and the pain I'm feeling there?

Losing 3-5% of body weight through regular exercise and a healthy diet can effectively resolve grade 1 fatty liver in many cases. Limiting alcohol, reducing sugarrefined carbs, increasing fibre, drinking more water and managing conditions like diabetes and high cholesterol also support liver health.

I'm a bit worried because my SGPT level is at 66, which seems higher than normal. Everything else like my SGOT at 34 and GGT at 40 is fine. I havent had any alcohol for a month, and I'm thin and didnt work out before the test. Is it a major concern that my SGPT level is elevated? How can I reduce it?
