Hi I have been told doctor that I have multiple gallstones under my rib I experience everyday shooting pain feel like I have a knife stabbing my inside. I don t want to have a operation just want them to be removed by themselves. I have heard apple juice is a good way to get rid of them.
Gall bladder calculus may present in many ways.It may be asymptomatic or may present as acidity,right hypochondrial pain etc. Pain may be related to gall stones in your case. You should plan for definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus.Definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus is Cholecystectomy(surgical removal of gall bladder). Gall bladder calculus are prone to obstruction and infection.So,it is better to get rid of it.
Apple juice etc are generally not helpful in dissolving gall stones.
