I am experiencing severe discomfort in the upper and middle abdomen, along with bloating and excessive gas. I am currently taking Nexpro L. My epigastric pain has not improved. I have attached my latest blood report and ultrasound. Could you please help me understand which organs might be involved, and whether I can take Rifaximin or Rifagut 200 mg for dyspepsia and gastritis? I would like guidance on the best treatment for dyspepsia, gastritis, and fatty liver.

Yes, you can use Rifaximin (Rifagut) for 10 to 14 days under doctor guidance for suspected bacterial overgrowth. Continue Nexpro. Avoid fried/spicy foods. Persistent issues may indicate functional dyspepsia.

Respected Doctor, I recently had a blood test, and my SGPT value is 64 U/L. Is this within the normal range, or should I be concerned?

I wanted to ask about ALP in a liver function test. My ALP level came out to be 141. Does this indicate any problem with my liver? Thank you.

Hi Sir or Mam, today I got a normal body medical checkup. I have seen my report and my SGPT is above the normal range. Please provide advice for my health.
