I'm experiencing loose motion and some pain in my lower abdomen for around 36 hours now. I've also been having some gastric problems over the past few months. I do a lot of bike rides and spend long hours sitting and working on my laptop. Can you please suggest what might help?

It sounds like your gastric issues might be worsening, possibly due to sitting for long periods or stress from travel. To ease your symptoms, try to stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals, and consider using a heat pad for abdominal pain. If the discomfort persists or worsens, its best to see a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm having this really uncomfortable pain in my lower left abdomen, and it seems to be spreading to my back. It hurts even more when I'm sitting down, especially on the back side. I'm not sure why this is happening. Should I be worried about it? What could be causing this kind of pain?

Could be indicative of a kidney stone. I would recommend taking over-the-counter pain relief medication such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. It is important to drink plenty of water to help flush out the kidney stone. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

My mom has gallstones and I'm really worried about her. Surgery seems scary are there any other effective treatments or natural remedies that could help dissolve the stones or manage her symptoms? What would you recommend as the best option?

Cholecystectomy is advised to the patient.

I'm looking at my bilirubin levels and trying to figure out if I should be worried. My direct bilirubin is 0.4, indirect is 0.6, and the total is 1. Does this sound normal, or is there a chance I should be concerned about jaundice or anything else?

Based on your bilirubin levels, everything seems to be within normal range. Direct Bilirubin of 0.4 mgdL, Indirect Bilirubin of 0.6 mgdL, and Total Bilirubin of 1 mgdL are all within normal limits. There is no need to be concerned about jaundice at this time.
