My protein levels in my blood are low - just within the range, and prealbumin is very low. I have been eating a high protein diet of 125g a day, but it doesn't seem to improve my levels. I have RA and fibromyalgia, well controlled, and recently had gastric bypass six months ago, losing 80 lbs. My protein levels were low before bypass too. What else can I do to raise my protein levels or what other reasons could be causing my inability to absorb protein?

My 2-year-old daughter cries when she voids and voids a small amount of urine. She also has blackish-purplish bowel movements. She is not on any medications and had jaundice after birth. What could be causing her pain when voiding and should I be concerned about her bowel movements?

I want to get a prescription refill. How long have you been using this medication? Has it helped at all? Are you currently using any other medications? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
