I've been told I have multiple small gallstones of different sizes. Can Ayurvedic medicine really dissolve them completely so I won't need surgery? I'm worried about the stones causing problems later if they don't go away

Oral dissolution therapy.
Ursodiol link (Actigall) and chenodiol link (Chenix) are medicines that contain bile acids that can break up gallstones. These medicines work best to break up small cholesterol stones. You may need months or years of treatment to break up all stones.

View allI'm really struggling with eating properly these past two weeks. Every time I try to eat food like chapati or rice, I feel like I'm going to vomit, and sometimes I actually do, even if it's just fruits. It's really concerning, and I don't know what's going on. I visited a doctor, had some blood tests done, and I just got the results back today. My next appointment is on Saturday, and my ESR level is 60. What does that mean, and could it be causing these symptoms? I'm kind of worried.
it strongly suggests an inflammatory process happening in your body, which could be a sign of an underlying medical condition that needs further investigation by your doctor.

I'm really worried about my jaundice, especially with my bilirubin levels at 15.3. I'm trying to figure out what foods are best for a faster recovery. Are things like eggs, bananas, bread, and roti okay to eat? And what foods should I stay away from? Also, I'm curious about which vegetables are safe for someone dealing with jaundice. Can you help me out?
To aid in faster recovery from jaundice with a bilirubin level of 15.3, it is important to focus on a well-balanced diet. Foods that are beneficial for jaundice recovery include those that are easy to digest and provide essential nutrients. It is recommended to consume foods that are high in antioxidants, such as fruits like papaya, apples, and pomegranate. Vegetables like spinach, carrots, and bottle gourd are also beneficial. Additionally, including whole grains like rice and oats in the diet can provide energy and aid in recovery. It is advisable to avoid fatty and fried foods, as well as spicy and processed foods, as they can be harder to digest and may put additional strain on the liver. It is best to avoid eggs, as they are high in fat and cholesterol. Bananas can be consumed in moderation, as they are easy to digest and provide potassium. Bread and roti can be included in the diet, but it is important to choose whole grain options for added nutritional benefits. Overall, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, while avoiding fatty and processed foods, can support the recovery process for a jaundice patient with a bilirubin level of 15.3.
