Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Gas and indigestion can be due to many reasons.
Widal test for typhoid in the range of 1:40 is negative.
Intestinal infection can cause liver problems to raise a little bit of the liver enzymes like SGOT and SGPT which will get reverted back to normal or correct treatment.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Get the stool test done for three consecutive days.
Other blood test like thyroid functions.
Repeat liver functions.
Ultrasonography of the abdomen.
A course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics helps a lot in some cases, you need a valid prescription for such medications from your Family Doctor.
Use boiled and cooled water and eat only homemade fresh foods.
Take banana, curds and activated charcoal to hsten the recovery.
