I'm feeling pretty nervous lately, and I'm not sure why. About a week ago, I went to a gastro specialist because I was really bloated. I noticed the bloating happens whenever I have dairy products, which is still an issue now. I've attached my blood test results, and they show that my LDL and NON-HDL levels are high. Could you give me some advice on what steps I should take?

From your blood test results showing high LDL and NON HDL levels, along with your symptoms of bloating and nervousness, it is important to address your cholesterol levels and digestive issues. To lower your LDL and NON HDL levels, I recommend starting a medication called Atorvastatin. Additionally, since you are experiencing bloating with dairy products, you can try taking a lactase enzyme supplement like Lactaid before consuming dairy to help with digestion. It is also advisable to follow a low-cholesterol diet and engage in regular physical activity to improve your overall health. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring of your cholesterol levels.

I have multiple 8mm stones in my gallbladder is there any way to get rid of them without surgery or operation

Gallbladder stones, especially multiple 8mm ones, usually do not dissolve on their own and can cause pain or complications. Non-surgical options like oral bile acid pills (e.g., ursodeoxycholic acid) have limited effectiveness and are rarely successful for stones this size. Surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) remains the most effective and permanent treatment.

I'm 30 and have been dealing with a gastric problem for the past 6 months. My endoscopy shows acute fundal erosion, and the ultrasound points to changes in the liver, saying I have a fatty liver. I'm taking medication, but I'm not seeing any improvement. What should I do? Can you offer any suggestions or treatments?

For your gastric issue with fundal erosion, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole to reduce stomach acid and promote healing. Additionally, you can take an antacid like Maalox to help with symptoms. For your fatty liver, you can try a medication like Ursodiol to improve liver function and reduce the accumulation of fat in the liver. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding alcohol to improve your liver health. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
