I have a 2.9cm gallstone can it be dissolved with meds or will I need surgery? I've been dealing with a lot of gas and stomach bloating too, is that related?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A gallstone of 2.9cm is relatively large and unlikely to be dissolved with medication alone. Surgery, typically cholecystectomy, is usually the recommended treatment. The gas and bloating you're experiencing could be related to the gallstone, as it can cause digestive issues and potentially lead to bloating.

I just ate a mango and then realized I accidentally consumed 23 small white worms. I'm a bit worried now. Should I be concerned about any health issues from ingesting them? Is there anything specific I should do or keep an eye out for after this?
Ingesting small white worms while eating a mango is generally not a cause for immediate concern, as these are likely fruit flies or larvae that may be present in the fruit. However, its advisable to monitor for any signs of discomfort, like stomach pain or nausea. If any symptoms develop, it's best to consult a doctor for further advice.

I'm experiencing something concerning when I eat. After meals, I tend to get heartburn, feel nauseous, and have gas issues. Could you tell me if it's safe to take bifilac and sodium bicarbonate capsules for this?
When you experience heartburn, vomiting, and gas problems after eating, it may indicate acid reflux or indigestion. Bifilac capsules can help in regulating your gut flora and sodium bicarbonate can help in neutralizing stomach acid. You can take Bifilac capsules (containing probiotics) one capsule twice a day after meals and Sodium Bicarbonate capsules (containing sodium bicarbonate) one capsule after meals as needed. Make sure to drink plenty of water and avoid trigger foods that worsen your symptoms.
