I've been experiencing this weird sharp pain in my stomach whenever I take a deep breath in, like yawning. It's really concerning me because my stomach is also feeling super bloated and hard. I'm just wondering what could be causing this and if it's something I should be worried about?

Could be a sign of gas or indigestion. I recommend taking an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg tablets to help with the bloating and indigestion. You can take 2 tablets as needed, up to four times a day. Additionally, you can try Simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg chewable tablets to help relieve gas.

I recently had an ultrasound without any particular reason and it showed I have a gallstone that's 16mm. The thing is, I'm not having any pain or issues right now. Should I be thinking about removing my gallbladder? I'm just not sure what the best course of action is.

I've been having some issues with my appetite; I don't feel like eating much after just two chapatis. Also, I'm dealing with stomach pain and I'm quite underweight, only around 38 kg at 5'2". I feel tired all the time. I have a history of erosive gastritis with bleeding. Do you think taking Liv 52 could help increase my appetite?
