Hi and welcome.
You should avoid alcohol, coffee, smoking, fats and fast food, carbonated drinks and eat more milk and milk products, fruit and vegetables, boiled food and natural beverages and teas. 1 hour after meal you should not sit or lay. Also lay with elevated upper body. If you are overweight you should do often exercise.
Secondly, there are antiacid medicines which are usually helpful,you should consult your GP about this. If symptoms persist,you should do gastroscopy and stomach biopsy to verify is there helicobacter pylori infection which can be treated then.
Gallbladder stones are besttreated with gsurgery-gallbladder removal and if there wont be improvement of symptoms, you should do cholecystectomy.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
