I've been taking rabeprazole and domperidone for a year now because of my hiatal hernia, but I'm only 22. Is surgery a better option or will I have to stay on these meds forever? How long is it safe to keep taking them?

You’re young, and long-term PPI use can affect bone health, B12, and magnesium levels. If symptoms persist despite meds, consider surgery.

View allI've been having acid reflux in my stomach lately and it gets worse when I eat or lie down to sleep. Could this be related to gallstones? Do I need to consider surgery for this?
Yes, gallstones can sometimes be linked to acid reflux, especially if they cause inflammation of the gallbladder. The presence of gallstones can lead to a buildup of bile in the stomach, increasing pressure and potentially stimulating acid production, which can contribute to acid reflux symptoms. However, acid reflux can also have other causes, such as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), certain foods, or being overweight.

I've been experiencing this sharp stabbing pain under my right rib for about a week now. It really hurts when I move, laugh, or take deep breaths. The only thing that somewhat helps is Advil, but the pain is still there, just less intense. I've tried waiting it out, but it doesn't seem to go away, and I can't lay down on either side because it hurts. I'm really not sure what's going on, and I'm a bit worried. Any ideas on what this could be?

I'm looking for some advice on treating a fatty liver, specifically grade 2. I've come across Tendomac tablets - do you know if they are effective for this condition? I'd really appreciate any guidance you could give me.
Tendomac tablet is not specifically related to treating fatty liver grade 2. For fatty liver grade 2, it is important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding alcohol. In terms of medication, Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is commonly prescribed to improve liver function and reduce liver enzyme levels.
