I'm on medication for irritable bowel with velgutlibrax and rejunex for the last three months, but my doctor has recently cut it down to just librax three times daily. While sometimes I only need to go to the washroom once a day, there are other days when it's 2 to 3 times. My stool is still kinda semi-loose. Is this the right treatment approach for me?

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.

I'm feeling pretty worried because for the past 10 days, no matter how little I eat, I always feel like my stomach is super full, and I'm dealing with shortness of breath and a lot of burping. It gets even worse when I'm trying to sleep. I saw a gastroenterologist and started taking some meds like pantodac DSR, RCIFAX 550, and GAVISCON syrup for the last 3 days, and I'm feeling a little better. But, recently, I've been noticing my chest feels tight and heavy, and sometimes breathing gets tough. I dont have many other symptoms, just a really rare dry cough, maybe 3-4 times a day. Should I be worried about the coronavirus, or is this something more normal? Looking for some guidance here.

I've been diagnosed with multiple gallstones measuring 45 mm and get severe pain every 15 days if I eat anything other than raw fruits and vegetables. Right now I'm only eating cucumber, apple, orange, carrot and other fresh uncooked foods - no cooked meals at all. Is homeopathy effective for treating this or is surgery my only option? The pain keeps coming back and I'm worried about my restricted diet

For multiple gallstones causing frequent severe pain, surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is generally the most effective treatment, Homeopathy may offer some symptom relief, but it's not a proven treatment for gallstones,
