I have a 1.08 cm gallbladder stone and a 0.78 cm liver stone, plus my left kidney is 9.38 cm and right kidney is 9.87 cm. Doctors are recommending surgery but I really don't want to go through with it. Are there any other options or treatments I can try instead?

For gallbladder stone pain, your husband can take pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen (under doctor’s supervision). Surgery might be necessary if the pain recurs or becomes severe.

I'm having a weird issue where I don't feel the urge to go for a motion in the morning like I used to. However, by the time evening rolls around, I find myself needing to go. What could be causing this change in my routine? Should I be worried about this sudden shift in my digestive habits?
Adding fiber to your diet increases the weight of your stool and speeds its passage through your intestines. Slowly begin to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables each day. Choose whole-grain breads and cereals..... Exercise most days of the week. Physical activity increases muscle activity in your intestines. Try to fit in exercise most days of the week... Don't ignore the urge to have a bowel movement. Take your time in the bathroom, allowing yourself enough time to have a bowel movement without distractions and without feeling rushed.....

I've been experiencing some trouble after meals, like having dosa or just a simple meal. My stomach doesn't seem to digest it well, and my belly becomes really hard and heavy. It's making it difficult for me to focus on work, and I get really restless to the point where I just want to close my eyes and sleep. Sometimes it feels like the gas from my stomach is reaching my head. Ive started taking Liv 52 tablets, but I'm not seeing any improvement. I drink 3 liters of water daily, eat chappati and veggies, and even walk about a kilometer after meals, but the problems still there. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
You're experiencing persistent digestive discomfort, bloating, and fatigue despite a relatively healthy diet and lifestyle, and considering your symptoms, it's possible that you may have underlying issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), slow digestion, or gut sensitivity, so consider consulting a gastroenterologist for personalized guidance and potential testing, and in the meantime, you may want to try additional strategies like eating smaller, more frequent meals, incorporating digestive-friendly foods like ginger, yogurt, and fermented vegetables, and stress-reducing techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to help alleviate your symptoms.
