Suggest Treatment For Gallstone And Acid Reflux

Hi & Welcome to HCM. Incomplete data: Duration of your symptoms, lab tests like liver function tests, etc? 1. You need to take a proton pump inhibitor (like Pantoprazole) along with a prokinetic drug (like Domperidone or Mosapride) one hour before breakfast once daily is effective for the symptomatic relief of acid reflux. A prescription is needed from a GP for the above medications. 1. You need to have certain life style modifications like: i. Avoid fatty, spicy vegan and non-vegan foods, alcohol (if you consume) ii. Eat home cooked food, increase the intake of vegetables, fruits, etc. iii. Avoid eating with full stomach rather you eat small frequent meals. iv. Avoid taking rest for 2 hours after meal. v. Have your dinner before 8 pm so that at the time of sleeping your stomach will be empty. vi. Do exercise regularly and reduce your body weight 3. You can take OTC medications like Mefenemic acid+Dicyclomine for the symptomatic relief of pain due to gall stones. 4. The maximum diameter of bile duct is about 6 mm. So, if you have smaller gallstones (less than 5 mm), they can get flushed and pass through the bile duct into the intestine. 5. There are some drugs available in the market to dissolve the already formed gall stones, but they have got their own problematic side effects in some. For this, you have to consult your family physician or your surgeon. 6. If your symptoms do not improve with the medications or when it causes obstruction or inflammation causing a sore gallbladder, then it has to be removed by laparascopic surgery. Hope the suggestions given above would be beneficial to you. Take care.
