Question 1

I've been told I have a couple of stones in my left kidney and gallbladder. The kidney stones have dissolved, but my latest ultrasound shows the gallstones are still forming. I'm really hoping to find a way to treat these gallstones without having to remove my gallbladder. I'm currently on UDILIV 300. Do you think there are other options?

Accepted Answer

While surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is a common treatment for gallstones, there are alternative treatments for small, uncalcified gallstones in the early stages of formation; Udiliv 300, which you're currently taking, contains ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), a bile acid that can help dissolve small, cholesterol-rich gallstones; other non-surgical options include watchful waiting, dietary changes

Question 3

I've been waking up every morning feeling like I'm going to puke, but I don't actually vomit. It's just gagging, and sometimes a little bit of spit comes out. This has been happening for a few days now. I dont smoke or drink, and I eat a pretty normal dinnerabout four chapatis with sabji. I usually get about 6 to 9 hours of sleep a night. What's going on with me, and how can I stop this from happening?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you might be experiencing morning nausea or acid reflux, especially since you mention gagging and saliva production. This can happen due to the stomach acids irritating the esophagus after a long night without food. I recommend avoiding heavy meals late at night, and consider eating a lighter dinner. If this persists, you might want to consult a doctor to check for reflux or other underlying causes.

I've been dealing with loose motions for the last couple of days and just now I've come down with a sore throat. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

it may be due infection take plenty of fluids and salt water gargling thrice a day
