Hepatitis C test results

Hello Doctor, I am currently pregnant and i recently had some test results and would like your opinion. HCV Antibody (CLIA): Reactive, value 1.33 (cutoff >1.0 = reactive) HCV Antibody (ELISA): Non-reactive, value 0.27 (cutoff <1.0 = non-reactive) HCV RNA (PCR, Real-Time): <35 IU/mL ALT (SGPT): 8 U/L (Ref: 0–31 U/L) AST (SGOT): 14 U/L (Ref: 0–32 U/L) Could you please clarify: Is this considered an active HCV infection? Should I repeat the HCV RNA test? Is treatment necessary based on these results? Thank you for your time and guidance.

IBD problem

I have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease and doctor has advised Budez CR twice daily after food. For the last seven days I'm passing semi solid stool with a sudden urge to defecate accompanied with abdominal pain. I have taking this medicine for a month but for the first 3 weeks I was having no such problem. Can you kindly suggest if this a side effect of the aforementioned medicine or something else?

Is it req. the DGP test in 10 m infant

My baby is experiencing slow weight gain. We conducted a TTG IgA test, which showed a result of 0.67, and the serum IgA result is 33. Given these results, is there a possibility of celiac disease? Should we proceed with a DGP antibody test for further evaluation? Is IGA level normal for my baby?

Stomach pain

"I’m currently on Medrol and HCQS, but they’re really upsetting my stomach. I constantly feel bloated and uncomfortable, and I’m not able to pass gas properly. I tried Razo D 20 mg, but it hasn’t helped. Can you please suggest a stronger or more effective medicine to manage this?"

Bowel not clear..gas ,and frequent

Usually, I go for a bowel movement only once a day when I'm at home. But in the morning before going to the office, it doesn't feel completely clear. After having tea, I feel the urge again and pass a little more. Then, after having my lunch at the office, I feel a strong urge to pass stool every day. But I hold it in. However, after I return home, that urge is no longer there-instead, I feel hungry. There was a time when I used to have a complete bowel movement once in the morning and didn't feel any pressure the entire day. Now, out of fear of pressure or urge, I avoid eating anything outside... My stool not clear like before.. For the past few days, I've been having a problem where a lot of gas comes out during bowel movements, only a small amount of stool is passed, and the bowel doesn't feel completely cleared. I also get abdominal cramps before passing stool... Please help or suggest something
