I recently had my bilirubin levels checked, and I'm a bit worried because my total bilirubin is at 2.5. My direct bilirubin seems fine, but it's my indirect bilirubin that's high at 2.2. Everything else like ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, total protein, albumin, globulin, and the AG ratio is normal. I had jaundice about four months ago, and I'm wondering if this could be related. What could be causing this high indirect bilirubin, and is there anything I can do to bring it down? Would really appreciate some advice.

I've been having these powder-like stools and some irritation in my abdomen, and it actually happened a couple of months ago too. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how to get rid of it?
You may be experiencing symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter medication such as Imodium (loperamide) to help with diarrhea and Dicyclomine (Bentyl) to help with abdominal cramping. It is important to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet with plenty of fiber. If your symptoms persist, it is recommended to consult with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

My mother has 19mm gallstones and a dilated CBD. She's been eating very little but feels like eating more, and she only passes stool every 3-4 days. We've seen allopathic doctors who recommended surgery, but she's scared of it and wants to try homeopathy instead. The homeopath we consulted didn't help much. We're in Hyderabad what should we do? Can you review the ultrasound report and advise?
Given the presence of a 19mm gallstone and dilated CBD, along with reported symptoms like reduced appetite with increased desire for food and infrequent bowel movements, it's crucial to prioritize a thorough evaluation and consider all treatment options. While homeopathy may offer some benefits, it's essential to address the underlying cause of the dilated CBD, which is likely related to the gallstone.
