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.

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.

If you happen to encounter severe abdominal pain that resulted from a punch to the stomach, consult a doctor immediately.

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.

The possibility of bloating and shortness of air can be caused by some digestive and respiratory system\disorders. These symptoms, including the temporary lack of consciousness, may pose a risk for a more severe problem. Urging immediate help from a doctor should be the first step to diagnosing the problem precisely and getting the right treatment.

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.

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.

Your son should have a comprehensive evaluation and treatment by an experienced gastroenterologist. The specialist may recommend further testing like endoscopy or imaging studies to determine the root of the problem. It is advisable to seek medical attention early in order to avoid any complications.

mucous is coming from anus with feacal matter and minute blood
Male | 16
The bleeding and the discharge of the mucus from the anus together with poop could be a symptom of inflammation in the intestines. This could be the result of a condition like hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or infections. It is crucial to consume fiber-rich foods, take a lot of water, and not to strain during bowel movements. If these signs persist, seek medical help from a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I am ramesh. I have loose motions from last 15months. I was used some medications. When I am using medications, the problem comes down and after that the problem remains same. Some of the foods not digesting properly. Please suggest any solution. Due to loose motions high burfing is comming from buttock.
Male | 29
Several things can cause this such as infections, food intolerances, or underlying health issues. Since you haven’t been cured completely by any drugs, it’s good to concentrate on your eating habits. You should stay away from spicy or oily meals and go for those that are easy to digest like rice, bananas, and toast. Ensure that you drink a lot of water so as not to be dehydrated and think about including probiotics in your diet to help with gut health. If this problem continues then please seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist.
