I've been dealing with some digestive changes since my laparoscopic cholecystectomy a month ago. Now, every morning I'm usually going to the bathroom twice or even three times. What I find odd is that the first stool looks normal, but after I eat, the second one that comes out quickly, like within 15 or 20 minutes, is whitish. I recently got my liver profile checked, and my bilirubin is a bit high at 1.1 because of higher indirect bilirubin, and my ALT is 66. Although my appetite is good and digestion seems okay, I take Enzar Forte once at night after eating. I also have been taking Pan D in the morning on an empty stomach since being diagnosed with chronic gastritis from an endoscopy. Should I be worried about these symptoms? Is it something serious, or maybe related to my recent surgery?

-Your symptoms might be related to bile flow changes after gallbladder removal, which can sometimes cause variations in stool color and frequency. The slightly elevated bilirubin and ALT could warrant monitoring but don't seem alarming with your current d

I've been dealing with GERD for the past two years and nothing seems to help medications or lifestyle changes. I'm only 29 and looking into less invasive surgery options. The LYNX procedure sounds promising for controlling GERD, but I'm not sure if it's available in India. If not, which other countries offer this treatment?

In summary ,the LINX procedure is a surgical procedure for the treatment of GERD that uses a magnetic device to strengthen the LES and prevent the reflux.It is a minimal invasive procedure with faster recovery.Yes the procedure is available in india.

I'm curious about ELIXIR NEOGADINERB syrup. Can it actually help boost my appetite? I've been having trouble eating enough lately and I'm wondering if there's anything else you might recommend to help increase my appetite.

Elixir Neogadine-RB syrup is often used to improve appetite and aid digestion. It contains a combination of ingredients that help stimulate hunger. For lack of appetite, you can try this syrup or consult your doctor for other appetite-enhancing options like vitamin B12 or zinc supplements.

I've been diagnosed with a small hiatal hernia and lax LES through endoscopy, and my symptoms include GERD, throat and heartburn, mouth ulcers, and upper abdomen burning. I've tried so many PPI meds but they make me tired, and if I skip them even for two days, the burning, sour burps, and sleepless nights get unbearable. My doctor says the main issue is my lax LES and that I'll need lifelong meds or surgery, but I'm exhausted from taking PPIs for two years and surgery success rates don't seem great. I'm feeling hopeless sometimes the acid attacks and pain are so bad I can't cope. Can homeopathy actually help fix a lax LES or make GERD go away? I already eat clean homemade food with coriander and cumin, no spicy or oily stuff, plus fruits and curd and do yoga daily, but nothing's working. I don't want false hope just honest advice on whether this can improve.

While homeopathy may offer some symptomatic relief for GERD and related issues, it's unlikely to cure a lax LES or hiatal hernia. Homeopathy is a holistic approach that focuses on individual symptoms and constitution, but it lacks robust scientific evidence for treating structural issues like a lax LES.
