I've been having this uneasy feeling on the left side of my stomach for the past four months. It's mostly a lot of gas and acidity. I just got an ultrasound done, and it says I have a fatty liver. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?

I'm really worried because I've had gastritis since 1998, but these past two weeks have been different. I've been feeling this nagging burning sensation in my upper chest that spreads to my upper back and sometimes even to my arms. It gets worse when I'm lying down in bed, making it quite uncomfortable. I've tried taking some antacid tablets and they worked a bit, but the pain is still pretty intense and annoying. Could this be something more serious, or is there something else you'd recommend I do to get this under control?

I'm really worried about my wife. It's been about two months since she had our baby, and she's having really bad pain in her upper abdomen and back. We got an ultrasound done, and it showed multiple stones. Last month, she had a severe pain attack, and she's still having mild pain in her upper abdomen and between her ribs. Is removing the gallbladder the only solution, or are there other options we should consider? Would love some guidance on what we can do.

Given your wife's severe pain, multiple gallstones, and recurrent attacks, gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) may be the most effective treatment option

I've been taking Follihair capsules for about five days now, right after lunch, and I've started having a pretty bad stomach and diarrhea. Is this normal and safe to keep taking, or could it be a side effect of the capsules?
