My endoscopy impression LAX LES. Narrowing noted at D1 D2 junction. Scope could not be passed beyond. BC taken. Doctor suggested bypass surgery.

The endoscopic finding of a narrowed area at the D1-D2 junction (duodenal junction) and the inability to pass the scope beyond this point suggest a potential blockage in the duodenum. The doctor's recommendation of bypass surgery likely refers to a surgical procedure to create a new pathway for food and fluids to bypass the obstruction, potentially a duodenojejunal bypass. This could be necessary to relieve symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain caused by the blockage

I've been dealing with acidity problems for the last 5 years, and it's been really tough. I get these severe stomach aches because of it, and they only seem to go away when I take medicine like meftal spas. I'm really looking for a more permanent solution for this. What can I do?

i understand your concern...try eating several small meals instead of three large ones whenever you can...Avoid foods that irritate your stomach, especially those that are spicy, acidic, fried or fatty... avoid coffee,tea etc... Avoid stress,consider calming activities, such as meditation, yoga etc...sleep with head raised position and have dinner at least 2 hours before sleep..take over pantaprazole 40 mg twice daily before food with above for 15 days.

I'm really worried about my friend. They're dealing with a lot of vomiting and loose motion. They've been given some medicine but it doesnt seem to be helping much. Is there any more effective medicine that you would suggest?

It sounds like your friend is dealing with a severe stomach issue. If the prescribed medicines aren't working, it's important for them to revisit their doctor, as it could be a sign of an underlying infection or condition that requires a different approach. In some cases, probiotics or a more specific treatment might be needed.

My mom recently had an abdominal ultrasound that showed a 14mm gallstone in her gallbladder. The doctor recommended surgery, but she can't afford it right now. Are there any non-surgical ways to dissolve or remove the gallstone? What options do we have besides surgery?

Cholecystectomy is advised to the patient.
