I've been diagnosed with a couple of stones in my kidney and gallbladder. While the kidney stones have completely dissolved, the recent ultrasound shows that the gallstones are still in raw formation. Is there any treatment option other than removing the gallbladder? I'm currently taking Udiliv 300.

For gallstones.... U would need surgical removal of gall bladder. Udiliv is given to prevent formation of gallstones in high risk patients such as obese patients n patients who have undergone bariatric surgery.

I have a 14mm gallstone but no pain right now. Allopathy doctors are recommending surgery to remove it. Can homeopathy actually cure this and how long would it take? Also, are there any good homeopathy doctors in NCR who can guarantee results? I've attached my ultrasound report for reference.

If you have a 14mm gallstone without pain, some homeopathic treatments might offer symptom management, but surgery is often recommended for larger stones or if symptoms develop. It's essential to consult with a qualified homeopath for personalized advice. As for doctors in NCR, you could seek out well-regarded specialists in gastroenterology or hepatobiliary surgery for the best advice on your treatment options.

I'm struggling with some really bad hunger pains. My stomach just keeps cramping and contracting, and I can't stop eating because it seems like the only way to make the cramps go away. It honestly feels like I'm hungry all the time. What could be causing this?

Experiencing persistent hunger and stomach cramps can be distressing. Here are some possible reasons and suggestions: *Possible Causes* 1. *Low Blood Sugar*: Fluctuations in blood sugar levels can trigger hunger and stomach cramps. 2. *Hormonal Imbalance*: Hormones like ghrelin and leptin regulate hunger and fullness. Imbalances can lead to increased hunger. 3. *Nutrient Deficiencies*: Lack of essential nutrients like protein, healthy fats, and fiber can cause hunger and cravings. 4. *Stress and Emotional Eating*: Stress can trigger hunger and emotional eating. *Suggestions* 1. *Eat Regular Meals*: Space out meals to maintain stable blood sugar levels. 2. *Incorporate Protein and Fiber*: Add protein-rich foods like lean meats, beans, and eggs, and fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. 3. *Stay Hydrated*: Sometimes, thirst can masquerade as hunger. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. 4. *Manage Stress*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. 5. *Consult a Healthcare Professional*: If hunger and stomach cramps persist, consult a doctor or registered dietitian to rule out underlying medical conditions.
