I'm having a problem where I need to go to the bathroom 2 to 3 times every morning, and it's not a complete bowel movement. This has been happening since I was born. Whenever I have to leave the house early, I take an Eldoper tablet to prevent more bathroom trips. I'm worried if taking Eldoper could seriously affect my liver. How should I handle this situation?

Just had an ultrasound that showed multiple gallstones, biggest one is 8mm. Is there any ayurvedic medicine that can dissolve these stones so I don't need surgery? Really worried about going under the knife.

Ayurvedic herbs like bhumi amla and kalmegh are promoted but lack strong evidence. If gallstones are symptomatic, surgery remains the gold standard.

I'm really curious about this routine I have. After eating breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even just some light snacks in the evening, I almost immediately feel the need to go to the toilet. This happens every time. Plus, every morning, I find myself heading to the toilet first thing and then eating breakfast, only to have to go again. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing this?

Sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as gastrocolic reflex, where eating triggers the urge to have a bowel movement. This is a normal response for many people. However, if you are having frequent bowel movements or if you are experiencing other symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, or changes in stool consistency, it may be worth discussing with your doctor. In the meantime, you can try to manage this by maintaining a healthy diet with plenty of fiber, staying hydrated, and keeping track of any specific food triggers that may be exacerbating your symptoms.
