I'm taking Pantocid DSR every morning on an empty stomach, but my chest starts burning whenever I eat something. Sometimes I even get severe pain in my chest and back because of gas, and I feel like I might vomit. Eno helps a bit, but it's not a long-term fix. What do you recommend I do?

You can start by making some diet changes like

Avoid oily and spicy foods.

Avoid foods that are known to cause the problem to you.

Instead of having 3 huge meals a day, have 5 smaller meals.

Drink one glass of water every hour or so even if you aren't thirsty.

Let there be at least 2 hours gap between dinner and sleep.

Walking for about 20 minutes everyday.

I've been having loose motions since last night and I'm not sure what kind of medicine I should take. I've already been drinking lemon water regularly. Could you help me figure out what else might help?

You can take Redotil 100mg (rececadotril). Make sure to stay hydrated by continuing to drink plenty of fluids like lemon water.

I'm really concerned about my 80-year-old mom who has gall bladder stones. She's been taking homeopathy medicines because she's not keen on getting surgery. We're planning to travel with her soon, and I'm worried about her having a sudden pain attack during the trip. Could you suggest any medicine that might help ease her pain while we're traveling?

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.
