Is walking good for hernia?
No relevance but helpful to sleep with chest and head elevated 30 to 45 degrees (foam wedge under head of the mattress or bed with electric buttons to change level of head). That elevation works against stomach acid going up into esophagus. Also, dilute acid at night by drinking water before bedtime. Most dangerous is taking any of the drugs that eliminate acidity for 24 hrs, which can lead to dementia (brain degeneration). READ MORE
Why does my poop smell so bad after gallbladder removal?
Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder. So, when you eat fat, bile emulsifies fat, which is like washing grease with soap, which helps in the digestion of fat. So, when the gall bladder is gone, there's no storage of bile. Bile is still dripping down from the liver, but is not coming down to the intestine in large amounts, so stools are full of partially digested fat, which gives the bad smell. READ MORE
