I've been struggling with bile reflux and the symptoms are really bothering me. Are there any surgical options like bile diversion surgery that could help? I'm not sure what to do about this and would appreciate some guidance on managing it

Bile reflux may benefit from bile diversion or Roux-en-Y surgery in severe cases; most patients improve with medication and lifestyle changes.

View allI had surgery for piles a while ago and have been using laxatives for about 9-10 months to help with recovery. Now I can't seem to pass stool without them. How do I know if I've become dependent on laxatives and what can I do to fix this?
Long-term laxative use may cause dependence; gradually taper under medical supervision and increase fiber and hydration.

My wife's recent USG showed a gallstone the biggest one is 6.7mm. She doesn't have any pain, but she's lost a lot of weight, down to 56 kg over the last 6 months. Does she need surgery, or will medicine be enough? Also, could the stone be causing her weight loss, and how can she regain the weight she's lost?
A 6.7 mm gallstone without pain rarely needs surgery; weight loss is unlikely from the stone—focus on nutrition and rule out other causes.

I'm experiencing some shortness of breath along with constant yawning, and I've been feeling pain on the left side of my back muscles. On top of that, my stomach feels bloated with gas, and I'm dealing with constipation. Is there a connection between these symptoms, and should I be concerned or consider seeing a doctor?
