My mother has 19mm gallstones and a dilated CBD. She's been eating very little but feels like eating more, and she only passes stool every 3-4 days. We've seen allopathic doctors who recommended surgery, but she's scared of it and wants to try homeopathy instead. The homeopath we consulted didn't help much. We're in Hyderabad what should we do? Can you review the ultrasound report and advise?

Given the presence of a 19mm gallstone and dilated CBD, along with reported symptoms like reduced appetite with increased desire for food and infrequent bowel movements, it's crucial to prioritize a thorough evaluation and consider all treatment options. While homeopathy may offer some benefits, it's essential to address the underlying cause of the dilated CBD, which is likely related to the gallstone.

I'm experiencing vomiting every 34 days when I brush my teeth. This has been happening for about 34 weeks now. At first, the vomit was yellow, and I assumed it might be related to a bile digestion issue, so I didn't see a doctor. However, more recently, it's been coming out white with a really strong sour taste. Is this something common with bile problems, or could it be something else?
