I'm really into fitness and have been for the past few months. I used to have 5 egg whites a day, but to get more protein, I increased it to 10. I usually eat them after my workout. Lately, I've been having gastric issues and even started experiencing back pain. I heard that these problems could be connected, like maybe the back pain could be because of too much egg white consumption and the gastric issue. Is there any truth to this?

I'm feeling really embarrassed because every time I eat, especially at breakfast, I get this buildup of phlegm in my throat that I need to spit out. It's been happening for a while and it's awkward for people around me. I've been treated for GERD with medicines like Rabiym DSR, and for allergies with Monteluksut and Fex. But it still doesn't seem to be getting better. Do you know what might be causing this or how I could improve the situation?

my eyes have turned slightly yellow and my LFT results show total bilirubin at 2.3 with direct bilirubin 0.7 and indirect 1.6 while other parameters are normal. I also have a 9mm gallstone but no stomach pain, vomiting, or fever. could this mild jaundice be because of the gallstone and do I need surgery or is there another treatment option

yes ,surgery opinion is advised to the patient.
