Suggest Remedy For Gallstones

I had been diagnosed with gallstones for 9 months, they have been making me constipated. I been taking over the counter prescription medicine. Stool softners I take every 74 hours. How can I get a regular bowel movement. Then I can get off these stool softners. I been taking them for 6 months.When I stop taking the stool softners I still get really constipated It hurts when I try to pass a bowel movement they always turn out hard, sometimes greenish blackish. I also tried grapefruit and oliveoil mixture and still back to hard stools right after. I do see small whitish yellowish round pieces in my poop after these treatments. How do I get off these stool softners and produce a normal stool? Why does it hurt is it from the constipation or is a gallstones passing at the same time as I poop.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have constipation and that causes this problem. You should take plenty of water and green leafy vegetables. Isapgul is also helpful. Take one teaspoon isapgul with milk or water at night before going to bed.
You should also go for ultrasound abdomen. If needed cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for gall stone. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
