I've recently found out I've got gallstones that are 23 mm and my CBD is at 5.2 mm. I'm having some pain on the right side of my abdomen, both in the front and back. Could you tell me what might be going on and what I should do next? I'm a bit worried and would really appreciate your advice.

I've had the ARMS procedure for GERD and acidity, but I still get constant burping. If I try to hold in a burp, I end up vomiting right away. Is there any permanent solution for this, maybe even surgery or another treatment? It's really affecting my daily life.

Persistent burping after ARMS may be due to altered gastric motility‚Äîfurther testing like manometry or fundoplication revision may help; consult a GI motility specialist.

My friend has been dealing with gallstones and keeps having bad stomach pain. The doctor recommended surgery, but is that really the only option? Are there other treatments that could help instead of going straight to surgery?

While surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is a common treatment for gallstones, it's not always the only option. There are several nonsurgical approaches that may be considered, especially if surgery isn't a good fit or if the patient prefers a less invasive approach

I'm a 26-year-old guy dealing with some pretty bad stomach pain, and I've been told to take Cyclopam tablets for it. I'm just wondering, how often should I be taking them? Should I have them before eating, after a meal, or maybe on an empty stomach?

take cyclopam twice daily after food
