High serum folate correlated symptoms may indicate blind loop of intestine ..other possibilities can be perneciuos anaemia and increased food consumption .
A gastrentrologist is able to do some tests with Ultrasound and gastroscopy to get the exact cause.
In my opinion this readings indicate nothing as they can be considered normal
However i suggest checking liver functions, as symptoms and history suggest it
Start by AST and ALT
Good Luck
Hi,
these reports are nothing to worry about .
may indicate early signs of liver dysfunction.
get liver function tests done.
eat more of carbohydrate diet with fruits and green leafy vegetables.
thanks
HI
THIS CAN BE DUE TO HORMONAL DISTURBANCES AND VITAMIN DEFICINECY.
HOWEVER LOCAL ORGANIC CAUSES IN THE EYE CAN BE RULED OUT BY A CONSULTATION WITH OTHALMOLOGIST.
ENDOSCOPY OF STOMACH IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
hello there
these symptoms indicate an irritable bowel with eye related disease.
opthalmology consultation will be able to sort the cause of blurred vision.
some amount of anxiety and stress also seems to be a contributing factor.
