Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of Parasitic Infection
Question: I recently went for blood tests and they tested my liver enzymes. They told me normal range was 5-30 and my reading was 60. I am not a heavy drinker drink 4-5 ounces a week. Then once 4 or 5 months might drink 15 in a night. I had two parasites from mexico that took 2-3 months to diagnose. Both were from a fecal coliform type transmission. The gp advised they may have liver damage which should repair. If had been about 10 months since diagnosus. Whaf is the best way to lower the enzymes? My immune system has also beem very weak over the last year getting phnemonia once a year ago just after the parasite treatment and again in XXXXXXX I had never had issue before.
Brief Answer:
Kindly mention the name of the parasite isolated
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your query.
You have mentioned about parasitic infection, kindly name the parasite which was isolated. Based on that I can give you specific advice.
One of the most important thing in reducing liver enzymes is reducing or stopping the intake of alcohol. And other like increase the intake of fiber in your diet, add lots of vegetable in your diet. Reduce the intake of meat for few days.
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.
I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Take care.
