I've been dealing with pancreas pain for the last six months and now my doctor says I need critical surgery They found multiple stone clouds in my pancreatic duct with the biggest one at 1.2 cm What does this mean for me and what are my options

Multiple stones in pancreatic duct can block enzymes—ERCP or surgery like Puestow procedure may be needed; early treatment prevents pancreatitis flare.

View allI've been struggling with chronic GERD for two years now and it's really affecting my daily life especially the difficulty swallowing food. I've tried medications like Pan tablets and Sucralfate syrup, but they only give temporary relief before the symptoms come back. Is surgery a good option for me at this point? Will it actually provide a permanent solution? The constant discomfort and trouble swallowing from acid reflux are making it hard to function normally.

My doctor switched me from lactifiber to lactihep plus for my hard stools. I'm supposed to take 10ml, but I'm not sure how much water I should mix it with. Could you guide me on this?
You can mix 10 ml of Lactihep Plus in about half a glass of water (around 100-150 ml) and drink it. Follow it up with plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and help with stool softening.

So I just got my full body check-up done at the health camp at work, and I'm 39, by the way. All my tests were pretty standard - blood tests and ECG and all that. The results seemed okay, but I noticed my alkaline phosphatase levels are high. The thing is, I feel fine and don't have any issues that I'm aware of. Could you tell me what symptoms might show up with high alkaline phosphatase?
A high alk phos level occurs when there is a blockage of flow in the biliary tract or a buildup of pressure in the liver--often caused by a gallstone or scarring in the bile ducts.
