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.

View allI'm really concerned about my husband. He often struggles with gas and acidity, and it usually takes him a couple of days to feel better. What's really puzzling is that when he has gas, he feels pain behind his ear. I'm having a hard time figuring out what might be causing this gas problem, and I'm wondering if you could help us understand what's going on.

For the past week, I've been having this constant gas issue, and for the last three days, I've needed to go to the bathroom three times in the morning. The first two times are fine, but the last one is pretty loose. I'm not sure if this is just from gas or if it counts as loose motion. Could you let me know what might be going on and whether it's okay to take Vitazyme capsules for this?

How much papaya should I eat daily to meet my fiber needs and what's the best time to have it for constipation relief I recently had fistula surgery and want to avoid dietary changes can you suggest what works
To meet your fiber needs and potentially aid with constipation after fistula surgery, consuming a portion of papaya daily, such as a small bowl of ripe papaya, can be beneficial. The best time to consume it is likely in the morning or after dinner to help with digestion and regulate bowel movements. Since you're trying to avoid dietary changes, focusing on incorporating papaya into your existing diet is a good approach
