I'm a bit confused about my test results. The report says "nonreactive" for both testsdoes that mean they're negative? So, does it confirm that both Hepatitis B and C are not present in my case?

I had my gallbladder removed recently and now I'm dealing with a lot of indigestion and stomach issues. I've heard bile salt supplements and choline might help but I'm not sure which ones to take or how much. Can you recommend specific types or brands that would work best for post-surgery digestion problems? Also, are there any side effects I should watch out for?

yes advised ,conservative therapy.

I have a 7mm gallstone can it be treated with udiliv 300 or is surgery necessary for this size? What would you recommend?

For a 7mm gallstone, surgery is often recommended as the first-line treatment due to the relatively low chance of it passing naturally and the potential for complications. Udiliv 300 (ursodeoxycholic acid) can be used to dissolve small, cholesterol-based gallstones, but its effectiveness is limited and may take months or years.
