Suggest Possible Treatment For Gall Stones

Hi sir,My wife has been diagnosed with gall stones with max size of 8mm and also having acid reflux. As a remedy, a leading gastro in Chennai has recommended Gallbadder removal and another surgery to tighten the esophagus.

I for one, not in favor of removal of any organ, given that the ailment my wife has is not a disease and a series of digestive disorder.Also I get to hear from alternative medicinal sources, NON surgical CURATIVE methods are available.

Please help to suggest what course we can take.
Best Regards,

Hi,

Your symptoms may be suggestive of gallbladder stones so you should do at least ultrasound or CT scan to evaluate it more accurately. This is caused by stone in bile duct and is very common condition. Stones are see more commonly in obese people and those with diabetes. You need to change your dietary habits first.

You need to avoid fried food, carbonated drinks, coffee, alcohol and spicy food. You should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food. If there is no improvement on lifestyle or dietary changes, then surgery is recommended.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Wish you a good health.

Kindly regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
