I've been dealing with this issue where I'm producing way too much saliva every day, and it's been going on for years. It's like I constantly need to spit, and if I try to swallow it, I start feeling nauseous. I also get this urge to burp a lot. I work out regularly and stay away from smoking and drinking. It's really getting on my nerves having to spit all the time. Any idea what might be causing this or how to make it stop?

Excessive salivation, along with frequent burping and nausea, can be frustrating, but it's important to identify the underlying cause in order to find the right treatment. Start by considering common causes such as GERD, oral health issues, or stressanxiety. You might also want to speak to a healthcare professional, such as a gastroenterologist or ENT specialist, to help pinpoint the cause and explore appropriate treatment options.

I've been told I have h. Pylori after an endoscopy and I'm a bit worried because I've got mild gastritis, but no ulcers thankfully. What's causing this h. Pylori, and what medications or treatments should I be looking at to deal with it?

I have multiple gallstones measuring 45 mm and I'm wondering if surgery is my only option right now. I've been sticking to a diet of just carrots, cucumbers, oranges, and apples with no other food can this kind of diet along with medication actually help dissolve the stones or should I consider other treatments?

healthy diet can help manage gallbladder symptoms and reduce the risk of new gallstone formation, it's unlikely to dissolve existing gallstones, especially those as large as 45mm. Surgery is often the recommended treatment for larger gallstones and those causing persistent pain or complications
