Question 1

I'm dealing with IBS and it's been tough figuring out how to manage it. I'm really trying to avoid junk food and dairy, but does this mean I have to stick with that forever? Are there any other ways to relieve the bloating, like maybe some tablets or something? How long does it usually take for symptoms to start improving?

Accepted Answer

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a chronic condition and there is no definite cure for it. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life. It varies from person to person, but it may take several weeks to months to see improvement with treatment. Having IBS mean that avoiding junk foods, milk items for the rest of the life? It is recommended to avoid trigger foods that worsen IBS symptoms, such as junk foods and dairy products. For bloating relief, you can try over-the-counter simethicone tablets

I'm really worried because my SGPT levels are high in my blood tests. I used to drink alcohol weekly, so I'm wondering if that's what's causing it. How can I lower my SGPT levels quickly? Also, if I get my levels back to normal, would it be okay to d...

Accepted Answer

To decrease SGPT levels quickly, you should first stop consuming alcohol completely. Additionally, you can take medications like Ursodeoxycholic acid (300mg) or S-Adenosylmethionine (400mg) to help lower SGPT levels. It is important to also maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and stay hydrated to support liver function. Once your SGPT level returns to normal, it is best to avoid alcohol consumption or drink in moderation to prevent a recurrence of high SGPT levels.

Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath. Soak your anal area in plain warm water 10 to 15 minutes two to three times a day.....
Don't use dry toilet paper. To help keep the anal area clean after a bowel movement, use moist towelettes or wet toilet paper that doesn't contain perfume or alcohol.

Accepted Answer

While homeopathy may provide relief for some people, especially when traditional treatments have been ineffective, its essential to first address your vitamin D deficiency. Additionally, vitamin D supplementation, physical therapy, and appropriate lifestyle changes should be your primary focus for managing muscle and joint pain.
If you choose to explore homeopathy, it can work well as a complementary treatment alongside conventional medicine, but you should not solely rely on it for immediate relief from chronic pain. Consulting a professional homeopath or doctor for a personalized treatment plan is advisable.
