I have multiple gallstones measuring 45 mm and I'm wondering if surgery is my only option right now. I've been sticking to a diet of just carrots, cucumbers, oranges, and apples with no other food can this kind of diet along with medication actually help dissolve the stones or should I consider other treatments?

healthy diet can help manage gallbladder symptoms and reduce the risk of new gallstone formation, it's unlikely to dissolve existing gallstones, especially those as large as 45mm. Surgery is often the recommended treatment for larger gallstones and those causing persistent pain or complications

View allI'm dealing with food poisoning and it's causing a lot of stomach pain. I've also been throwing up a few times. I'm really unsure about what to do and I'm curious about any tablets that might help. Can you advise me on this?
For food poisoning with stomach pain and vomiting, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, such as oral rehydration solutions (ORS) like Electral or coconut water; consider taking anti-emetic medications like Ondansetron or Metoclopramide to control vomiting, and antacids like Ranitidine or Omeprazole to reduce stomach acid

I've just had some medical tests done and I'm a bit concerned because my SGOT came back at 92 and SGPT is 202. What do these numbers mean for my health? Are there ways to bring them back to a normal range? Should I be taking any specific medication? I don't have any other symptoms or issues, but would love some guidance.
SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) are enzymes found in the liver. Elevated levels of these enzymes may indicate liver damage or inflammation. To reduce the levels within range, it is important to address the underlying cause. This may involve making lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, avoiding alcohol, and exercising regularly. In terms of medication, you can consider taking Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I'm on a vitamin D3 60K tablet once a week as recommended by my doctor, but about three weeks in, I've started having some stomach gas issues. Any ideas on how I might be able to minimize these side effects? Would really appreciate any guidance on this!
Gas problem in the stomach can be a common side effect of taking vitamin D3 supplements. To reduce this side effect, you can try taking the vitamin D3 supplement with food. This can help to minimize stomach irritation and reduce the likelihood of experiencing gas. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. If the gas problem persists, you can also try over-the-counter simethicone medication to help alleviate gas and bloating symptoms.
