My dad was just diagnosed with gall bladder stones and we're unsure if he needs surgery or if medication would work he's also having pain when he pees. What's the best way to handle this?

The first step is to address the pain during urination, which could indicate a urinary tract infection or other urinary problem. Then, discuss with a doctor the best course of action for the gall bladder stones, which could involve medication, lifestyle changes, or surgery

I've been having some issues with my appetite; I don't feel like eating much after just two chapatis. Also, I'm dealing with stomach pain and I'm quite underweight, only around 38 kg at 5'2". I feel tired all the time. I have a history of erosive gastritis with bleeding. Do you think taking Liv 52 could help increase my appetite?

Liv 52 might help with appetite stimulation, it is essential to manage your gastritis and potential bleeding first. Consult with a doctor who can guide you through the proper treatment for your gastritis and also recommend safe ways to improve appetite and nutrition.
