Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I was diagnosed with antral gastritis after taking painkillers. After that, I followed a diet and lost 13 kg of weight. I also took some home remedies for gastritis and recovered within a few months. My blood test shows high bilirubin and low uric acid. The other results were normal. But after a few months, I gained weight.
After two years, I took painkillers and antibiotics and again lost weight. Even now, I have elevated bilirubin and low uric acid. ECG, ultrasound abdomen, and MRI brain showed no other symptoms. My stool appears like clay and is pale yellow. I have no other symptoms and have not gained my weight back. I had a complete health checkup before all these issues and everything was normal. Why am I not able to gain my weight back? What should be the reason for abnormal bilirubin and uric acid levels?
Thank you.

Hello doctor,
A year ago, I took an endoscopy. I have attached it for your reference. I also do not drink alcohol. I do not smoke nor do I have other habits.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your reports. I would suggest you take an upper GI (gastrointestinal) endoscopy again and a biopsy if warranted.
Thank you.
