I've been diagnosed with gallstones and my MRCP shows cholelithiasis along with a lower insertion of the cystic duct into the CHD My LFTs are off with SGOT at 115 SGPT 289 ALP 141 and total bilirubin 16 The MRCP also suggests chronic liver disease with a contracted right lobe enlarged caudate lobe and mildly irregular margins My doctor recommended a lap cholecystectomy but I'm worried about what's causing the liver disease and how it should be treated Can you explain the possible causes and treatment options

Gallstone treatment depends on whether the stones cause symptoms. If asymptomatic, they often don't require treatment, but if they cause pain or complications, surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is the standard treatment. Medications like ursodeoxycholic acid can sometimes dissolve small, cholesterol-based stones

View allI had my gallbladder removed recently and now I'm dealing with a lot of indigestion and stomach issues. I've heard bile salt supplements and choline might help but I'm not sure which ones to take or how much. Can you recommend specific types or brands that would work best for post-surgery digestion problems? Also, are there any side effects I should watch out for?
yes advised ,conservative therapy.

I'm having to go to the bathroom 4 to 5 times every morning, and it gets worse if I eat outside or have anything spicy, which then gives me a burning sensation. With plain homemade food, it's okay, except for still having to go several times. My doctor says I have IBS and mentioned its a disorder rather than a disease, and apparently it can't be cured. Can you guide me on this? Is there anything I can do to improve the situation?
It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a medication like Dicyclomine (Bentyl) 20mg before meals to help reduce the frequency of bowel movements and relieve abdominal cramping. Additionally, you can try a probiotic supplement like Align once daily to help regulate your gut flora and improve digestion. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet with plenty of fiber and stay hydrated. Avoiding trigger foods like spicy foods can also help reduce symptoms. Regular exercise and stress management techniques can also be beneficial in managing IBS symptoms.

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.
