Hello
I suggest for definitive treatment of gall bladder stones.
Definitive treatment is surgical removal of gall bladder(cholecystectomy).
Gall bladder calculus are prone to infection and obstruction,so it is wise to get rid of it.
Gall bladder calculus usually doesn't respond to medical management.
IBS is a different problem and it may need separate treatment.You should take high fiber diet and drink plenty of water.
You are rightly advised for medicines,you can take it.
Get well soon.
Take Care
