I'm on medication for stomach tuberculosis and it's been nine months so far. I've heard that for stomach TB, you need to take the meds for at least a year to avoid the risk of MDR. Is that actually true?

View allI'm a bit worried because I've noticed blood in my stool for the past two days. What could be causing this and what should I do to take care of myself?
Passing blood in stool, also known as hematochezia, can be caused by various factors, including: constipation, anal fissures, hemorrhoids, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colon cancer, or gastrointestinal infections; to care for yourself, drink plenty of water, eat a high-fiber diet, avoid straining during bowel movements, and consider taking a stool softener or fiber supplement; however, if bleeding persists, worsens, or is accompanied by severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or fever, seek immediate medical attention to rule out underlying conditions that require prompt treatment.

Got my blood test results and I'm a bit worried. It shows high bilirubin and low levels of vitamin D and B12. Can you help me understand what all this means? Should I be concerned about these results, and what steps should I consider taking next?
Elevated bilirubin levels may indicate liver dysfunction or hemolysis, while low Vitamin D and B12 levels can cause fatigue, weakness, and neurological issues; consider consulting your healthcare provider to discuss potential underlying causes, such as liver disease, anemia, or malabsorption, and to determine the best course of action for addressing these deficiencies and abnormal lab results.
