Hello,
To answer your questions, please let me explain a few things:
- if gallstones are causing inflammation of the pancreas, that is a very delicate situation. It is involving pancreas, and the treatment should be focused in 2 main parts:
1- reversing the pancreas inflammation in order to prevent further more serious issues
2- removing the gallstones so everything will settle.
Now, you want to use advertised Cleanse, I do not recommend because it will worsen your pancreas inflammation. So, better follow your doctor's advice.
You should drink water, but it won't help at this point that much. We are not talking about kidney stones, but gallstones. So, that is a different issue.
Please follow your doctor's advice, do follow any strategy treatment he might advise. That's the best thing to do.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
