It's better to get it electively operated rather to wait for it to cause any complication in future

My mom has gallbladder sludge and I'm really worried about her. Is there any homeopathic treatment that can help without needing surgery?

I've been diagnosed with two gallstones 15.4 mm and 13.6 mm in my gallbladder. Is there any way to get rid of them or dissolve them without surgery? I'm really hoping to avoid an operation if possible. What are my options?

If your gallstones are small and you are unable to have surgery, you may be able to dissolve your cholesterol stones by taking ursodiol (Actigall, Urso), a naturally occurring bile acid, two to four times a day. Consult your doctor before taking any medications

I had a Nissan fundoplication 360 wrap done but the day after surgery the nurse gave me a large combiflam tablet which I swallowed whole without crushing it. Ever since then I'm experiencing reflux just like before the surgery - could that big pill have loosened my GE junction sphincter again?

Take all prescribed medicines as directed: Until you can swallow easily, take liquid medicines. If you are given pills, crush them and swallow them with liquids. But some pills can't or shouldn't be crushed.
