I'm 83 and dealing with acidity and diabetes, is it okay for me to have dark chocolate to help with the acidity issue?

As a diabetic with acidity, dark chocolate in moderation can be beneficial because it contains antioxidants, but it should be consumed carefully. It may not be suitable for everyone with acidity, as it can sometimes trigger symptoms. Its best to consult your doctor to ensure it fits your diet plan.

I'm really worried because my CT scan showed that I have IBD, and now I'm dealing with worms in my stomach. I can definitely feel them, and it's really uncomfortable. Should I even consider taking medicine for worms right now? I'm not currently on any medication for my IBD, so I'm not sure what to do. Any advice would be great!

I've been dealing with jaundice for the past two months, and I just can't seem to shake it off. My s. bilirubin count is currently at 1.8, but it was 1.4 just last week, so it keeps fluctuating. I was also diagnosed with a fatty liver, grade 2, and I'm not sure what the best way forward is. I'm 22 years old, weighing in at 94kg, and I'm not a drinker. I've cut out dairy and oily foods for two months now, but nothing's changed. Is there still a chance for me to recover completely? What's the best thing for me to do?

your persistent jaundice, fluctuating bilirubin levels, and fatty liver diagnosis, and they may recommend lifestyle modifications, such as increasing physical activity to aid weight loss, adopting a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and limiting sugary drinks and processed foods, as well as medications like ursodeoxycholic acid or vitamin E to help manage fatty liver and jaundice

I've been dealing with this weird feeling where my stomach always feels full, and I'm having shortness of breath. It's almost like there's something in my chest making it hard for it to relax and contract properly. Plus, my weight keeps going up and down really quickly for no apparent reason. Any idea what's going on?
