I'm dealing with ulcerative colitis and have been on Mesacol OD for about a year now. I'm curious if it's okay to take biotin and omega-3 supplements alongside it. Also, how long typically should someone stay on Mesacol OD?

I'm wondering about this 17 mm stone in my gall bladder that I recently found out about. I'm not in any pain right now, even though it's pretty big. I'm 42 years old and a bit unsure about what to do. Should I get the surgery done right away, or is it okay to wait a year or so since I'm not feeling any discomfort at the moment? I understand surgery is necessary eventually, but I'm curious if there's any harm in waiting a bit given my current situation.
