Hi ...yes, after several rounds of antibiotics cleared the H.Pylori....then a product called align which is a probiotic he began to feel better.

He was getting jaundice and yellow in the whites of his eyes....all has since cleared up.

hi

you mentioned h.pylori linked with the liver, was your dads liver issues cured?
if so, what treatment options were there?


barbilatina,
drugs can raise liver function tests, you could have fatty liver, maybe due to diet, weight,
get tested for all hepititis viruses and autoimune hepititis, ultrasound is a good step.

what were your test results or liver function, is it raised alt?

also have a look into this

having Low Levels of stomach acid
Hydrochlorhydria it can cause alot of symptoms too

Hi...sorry I was not able to read ur entire thread as the all caps affects my eyes, but from what I did read it appears u r having high enzyme levels in ur liver.

Were u checked for H.Pylori?...my dad had bile  from this and it went so long undectected that it was affecting his liver too.'

Get ur gall bladder checked too.

Good luck
