gallstones - #19510
Few weeks back, I started getting this weird pain on my right side just below the ribs. At first, it was just a dull ache, but after eating anything heavy, it would get worse, sometimes so bad that I had to just lie down and wait for it to pass. Thought it was acidity or something, but then last week, I had such a sharp pain I couldn't ignore it. Went to the doctor, they did an ultrasound and told me I have gallstones. Said they’re not too big but could cause more trouble later. Doctor suggested surgery but I’m not sure I want to do that yet. I’ve been reading about how gallstones can sometimes be managed naturally. Since I don’t have constant pain (it only happens after heavy meals), is there a way in Ayurveda to dissolve or remove gallstones without surgery? Like herbs, special diets, or treatments? Also, I noticed that whenever I eat oily or fried stuff, the discomfort is worse. Does that mean certain foods make gallstones grow? What kind of diet should I follow to prevent them from getting bigger? Someone told me drinking warm water with lemon in the morning helps, but I don’t know if that actually works or just a myth. And what about long-term? If I manage gallstones with Ayurveda, can they come back again? I don’t want to end up in a situation where I suddenly need emergency surgery. How can I make sure this doesn’t get worse over time? Would love to hear any natural remedies that have actually worked for people dealing with gallstones. If anyone has had success with Ayurvedic treatments, please share what helped you.
