Widal Test Report Interpretation

Positive Result:

The Widal test detects antibodies against Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi. Your report shows:

Salmonella Typhi O (1:160): Indicates a significant level of antibodies against Typhi O antigen.

Salmonella Typhi H (1:40): Shows a moderate level of antibodies against Typhi H antigen.

Impression: Positive (+ve)

This suggests that you have been exposed to Salmonella Typhi, which could indicate a current or past Typhoid infection.

Dietary Recommendations:

During Typhoid infection, it's essential to focus on nutrient-rich foods that are easy to digest:

Fluids: Drink plenty of water, clear soups, and electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water.

Bananas: Easy to digest and a good source of potassium.

Rice: Plain white rice is easy on the stomach.

Applesauce: A low-fiber, easily digestible fruit.

Lean proteins: Opt for lean proteins like chicken, fish, or tofu.

Avoid spicy and fatty foods: These can exacerbate digestive issues.

I'm not stressed or on any meds, so I'm really confused about what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this? What should I do next?

Given your regular 30-32 day menstrual cycle and negative pregnancy tests, the missed period could be due to various factors, such as hormonal imbalance, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), thyroid issues, or other underlying medical conditions; other potential causes include weight changes, travel, or environmental factors; consider consulting a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation
