I'm on a vitamin D3 60K tablet once a week as recommended by my doctor, but about three weeks in, I've started having some stomach gas issues. Any ideas on how I might be able to minimize these side effects? Would really appreciate any guidance on this!

Gas problem in the stomach can be a common side effect of taking vitamin D3 supplements. To reduce this side effect, you can try taking the vitamin D3 supplement with food. This can help to minimize stomach irritation and reduce the likelihood of experiencing gas. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. If the gas problem persists, you can also try over-the-counter simethicone medication to help alleviate gas and bloating symptoms.

View allI'm having loose motions and sour burps today, and I remember the same thing happened on Wednesday night, but I also had vomiting then. I thought it was just indigestion at the time, but since it's happening again, I'm a bit worried. Could this be some kind of stomach infection?
GIC (Glass Ionomer Cement) fillings can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years on the biting surface of molars. Their durability depends on factors such as: - Size and location of the filling - Oral hygiene and maintenance - Chewing habits and forces Given the cost of each filling (Rs. 500), it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular dental check-ups to extend the lifespan of your GIC fillings.

I'm really worried about the multiple calculi in my gallbladder lumen and the largest one is 13mm. The c.b.d is 3.2mm and it's visualized up to its retro pancreatic portion. There's no obvious intraductal calculus seen. What does all this mean? Should I be concerned about the size of the calculi or its location? What are the chances these will cause complications, and what steps should I take next?
The presence of multiple gallstones is identified, but there is no blockage of the bile ducts. If you're not experiencing symptoms, your doctor might suggest a wait-and-see approach, but if you do have symptoms or complications, surgery to remove the gallbladder may be necessary.
