I was wondering how we can really be sure that someone is free of abdominal tuberculosis after they've finished their ATT course. Is there a specific test that can accurately confirm it? I'm feeling a bit anxious about making sure the treatment has been successful.

View allI've been having this really uncomfortable acid reflux where I feel like throwing up or actually do after eating. I recently saw a doctor, who asked me to get a Bilirubin test. The results showed Bilirubin Total at 1.84 (range is 0.2 to 1.3) and Bilirubin Direct at 1.05 (range is 0.0 to 0.30). The doctor said it's Jaundice, but I'm not sure about that. Could you check out my report and tell me what the symptoms of Jaundice typically are?
Jaundice can result from high bilirubin levels, and elevated direct bilirubin often points to liver or bile duct issues. However, your symptoms like acid reflux and vomiting could indicate something different, such as gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD), or another digestive issue. It is important to follow up with your doctor to rule out any serious conditions and to confirm a diagnosis. If you have additional symptoms like yellowing of the skin or eyes, or if your discomfort worsens, it would be critical to seek medical attention promptly.

I'm dealing with constant stomach pain whenever I eat or right after. It's really uncomfortable and sometimes results in vomiting. I also have frequent burps and just feel like something's off with my digestion. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
take soft diet.

I'm recovering from jaundice and I've been really strict with my diet for the past month. But I'm still getting mild fevers at night and that nauseous feeling keeps coming back. My test results seem normal with bilirubin at 0.7, SGOT at 90, and SGPT at 65. I'm currently taking Liv 52, Ulsys 300, and Nirocil syrup. Could you help me understand why I'm still feeling this way?
