I'm having trouble with my bowel movements for the past two years. I've tried taking 12 full tablets of CremaLax to control it, but I'm worried about getting too used to it. I've also been eating a lot of fibrous vegetables, but they haven't really helped. Can you give me some advice on what else I could try?

Take 2 glasses of water in the morning. You can take isabgol husk for few days. Increase fruits, vegetables in your diet & drink 10-12 glasses of water.

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've been having this annoying pain in my food pipe whenever I swallow food, and I've noticed a mild chest pain every time I eat. It's also like there's this burning heat in my stomach, especially when I have tea or coffee. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

You may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I would recommend trying antacids like Gelusil, Digene, or Pudin Hara for relief from the heat and discomfort in your stomach. Additionally, you can consider taking medications like Pantocid or Omeprazole to reduce stomach acid production and alleviate chest pain while eating. It is important to avoid trigger foods like tea or coffee that can worsen your symptoms.
