What Can Be Done About Raised AST Levels?

Thanks for the query,
There are certain symptoms that a patient of post cholecystectomy suffers, and this is known as 'post cholecystectomy syndrome'.
I want to discuss about this condition, and I am sure this will help you to judge your problem.
Post cholecystectomy syndrome (PCS) is a collection of symptoms that affects some patients after gallbladder removal surgery. The symptoms may include gastritis, esophagitis, diarrhea or abdomen), and colicky lower-abdomen pain.
If you have more pronounced symptoms, then still no need to worry. Consult your physician then
Specific treatment includes--- Magnesium supplementation orally or in acute cases infusion is necessary rarely.
To prevent these symptoms diet stratification is must, which includes-
1. Good post cholecystectomy foods include beets, cucumbers,sweet potatoes, acidic foods, and foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids.
2. Foods to be avoided after gallbladder surgery include , saturated fats, dairy, eggs, coffee and black tea, most fruit juices, alcohol, chocolate, cabbage.
In your case, raised LFT and AST level signifies liver inflammation. The cause could be varied. A physician or gastroenterologist can help you in finding the cause.
NO NEED TO WORRY, IT IS A CONTROLLABLE CONDITION.
Hope, this helps you. I am ready for future follow ups if you have any additional queries.
