I have ast/alt ratio of 1.77 but the time my blood was examined I was drunken much. Can you guide me its still same even I am drunk or not. It was ast 339 and alt 191. Kindly help
Male | 43
The report based on an AST/ALT ratio test result shows a liver enzyme ratio of 1.77 units which is slightly higher than normal and indicates the presence of possible factors e.g. liver damage, drinking alcohol, taking certain drugs. Elevated AST and ALT levels may alert the liver damage. You can ascertain the precise state of your liver by retesting your blood after you get sober and getting the necessary advice from a hepatologist.

I had inguinal hernia January 2021 which was repaired by Bradford royal infirmary and an Umbilical hernia was repaired by a consultant at Yorkshire clinic and I have gained weight due to the back problem with not been able to get around much.
Male | 43
It seems that you are still having the same problem of backache and bright red bleeding. This is very dangerous. The collection of the symptoms may be a result of different reasons that are related to your history like hemorrhoids, consequences of hernia repairs you have had before, or other issues that are hiding. It's vital for a careful and thorough check-up by a gastroenterologist.

Male | 45
These irritation types may be the result of gastritis and acid reflux. It's a blessing that your tests came back normal and that you maintain a healthy diet. Since you're still experiencing the same, discuss with your gastroenterologist the possibility of modifying your medication or seeking other treatment options to help manage your symptoms.

I've been having constipation problems for about a year or a little more now. I don't have any serious signs of IBD nor chron's disease. I constantly have to wait about 2 days to empty my bowel. I don't quite understand what causes this problem, but I also have a habit of sucking my stomach in a lot, so maybe could that be it?
Female | 18
When you pull your tummy in a lot, it can be tough for your guts to work well. This might result in constipation. Relax your belly muscles and try to drink more water, and eat lots of high-fiber foods such as fruits and vegetables. Also, doing regular physical activity can help.

Can I smoke weed 3 weeks after gallbladder removal?
Female | 26
After gallbladder surgery, it's important to focus on taking care of yourself. While it might be tempting, it's best to avoid using cannabis during your recovery. The compounds in marijuana could slow down your healing and make you feel worse. Instead, stay hydrated, eat a healthy diet, and follow your doctor's advice to recover well.

Am having back ache, although I have ulcer
Female | 27
Back pain can be triggered by the lifting heavy objects or inappropriate posture. Stress caused by stress or some drugs can lead to the formation of ulcers. The back pain is characterized by a painful feeling and discomfort. On the other hand, ulcers bring about the stomach ache and bloating. You can soothe your back by gentle back exercises and avoiding strong spices or sour acidic foods for the wound of your stomach for bland food. If you continue to feel pain, make an appointment with a gastroenterologist.

I am 34 years old. I am suffering from anal itching. I have hemorrhoid but not too severe.
Female | 34
Anal itching is happening due to the hemorrhoids itself. Maintaining good hygiene, using over-the-counter creams or ointments, and avoiding straining during bowel movements can help alleviate symptoms. Still it's always best to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Male | 26
Elevated liver enzymes can result from various factors, including fatty liver, as you've experienced. Symptoms like abdominal pain and nausea often relate to liver issues. It's encouraging that your tests showed improvement before but persistent discomfort warrants attention. I recommend keeping a healthy diet, avoiding alcohol, and maintaining a healthy weight. Monitoring your liver function with your doctor is essential. Please consult your gastroenterologist for tailored advice and to explore further testing or treatment options.

I m feeling stomach burning
Female | 39
Stomach troubles seem to be bothering you. A burning sensation indicates stomach acid straying where it shouldn't. Spicy foods or stress can cause this. Drinking water sometimes soothes the issue. Eating smaller meals and avoiding spicy foods may provide relief. However, if the burning persists or becomes painful, consulting a gastroenterologist is advisable.

During intermittent fasting i have diarrhoea what should I eat when i break the fast
Male | 21
Ah, seems diarrhea has interrupted your intermittent fasting schedule. Diarrhea is frequent bowel movements, often caused by fasting's effects on digestion. When ending your fast, opt for gentle foods like bananas, plain rice, or toast. These soothe the stomach. Hydrate extensively with lots of water. If diarrhea persists, seek medical advice.

stomach pain,the doctor said that i am having swelling intestine
Female | 18 years
It's important to understand that swelling in the intestines can lead to symptoms like discomfort, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. This may result from various factors, including infections, dietary choices, or underlying health conditions. Relief often involves dietary adjustments, increased fluid intake, and possibly medications to reduce inflammation. I encourage you to monitor your symptoms closely and maintain open communication with a gastroenterologist. If discomfort persists or worsens, returning for a follow-up examination will ensure appropriate guidance and care tailored to your needs.
