I had really bad gallstones and had to have my gallbladder removed about 4 years ago. The surgery wasn't too bad, in and out the same day. I'm not aware of any medications for gallstones but I certainly don't know that for sure! I guess they only become an issue if they impair the function of the gallbladder. My gallbladder was so full of stones that they were coming out and getting stuck in the bile ducts around the gallbladder, talk about horrible pain!! Went to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack in the middle of the night!

I never had gerd issues until AFTER I had my gallbladder out! Now I take medication daily. I started out on Previcid but I've switched to the prescription pepcid which is milder but still seems to handle my problems!!
