Is drinking ENO powder for the last 30 days bad for my health? I've been using it daily and I'm a bit concerned about whether it's safe to keep taking. Could it have any long-term effects?

It is not advisable to use Eno powder for prolonged durations. It can cause bloating and erructations as well as disturbances in the normal gut flora due to change in intestinal PH.

View allI've been told I have a gallstone just one, around 4.9mm. Can homeopathy actually help dissolve it, or is surgery my only option? I'm a bit worried about what to do next.
Actigall (Ursodiol) is the primary drug used to dissolve gallstones. It is a naturally-occurring bile acid. This drug has almost no side effects but can rarely lead to increases in cholesterol or diarrhea. This is in marked contrast to other drugs which have been used in the past.

I've been dealing with some stomach and upper abdominal pain for a couple of days now, and there's been a lot of bloating and gas too. I'm starting to worry a bit. Any idea what might be going on?
If you are not having any vomitting or loose motion, it is likely just a case of gastritis or bloating. You can take Pantoprazole 40mg before food for a couple of days, while restricting yourself to a reduced spice diet. You can also consider taking Simethicone for relief from bloating. Avoid lying down immediately after meals and try to eat in smaller quantities with increased frequency, instead of large meals with longer gaps. Keeping yourself physically active for at least 150 minutes per week has great benefits with regards to gut health and peristalsis.

I'm really worried because my GGT levels have shot up from 180 to 425 in just 10 days. I got tested for viral hepatitis and thankfully both hepatitis B and C came out negative. I'm on medication, but it doesn't seem to be helping with the GGT. What can I do to bring these levels down? Could my medication be affecting it?
Yes there is cure for that visit Psychiatrist for appropriate management
