[|Human|] Gallstone problemsHi! I found out last year that I have gallstones and suffer from acid reflux. The doctor I went to put me on dicyclomine for the acid reflux but nothing for the gallstones.They only bother me once in a blue moon but when they do, it gets pretty bad. What are some things that I can do to prevent being in pain until I can have surgery to get them removed? Are there any over-the-counter meds I can take for the pain? Im 22, about 51, female, and weight about 200 lbs. I take pepogest to help with acid reflux but I need something for the gallstones. I heard you can pass them but as far as I know, I havent passed any yet. What can I do about? Help please?!? Thank you
