My doctor switched me from lactifiber to lactihep plus for my hard stools. I'm supposed to take 10ml, but I'm not sure how much water I should mix it with. Could you guide me on this?

You can mix 10 ml of Lactihep Plus in about half a glass of water (around 100-150 ml) and drink it. Follow it up with plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and help with stool softening.

Small gallstones may dissolve with ursodeoxycholic acid over time, but response varies. Regular monitoring is essential if avoiding surgery.
