Condition analysis:
I read your question carefully. Taking in consideration the recurrency of your biliary stone appearance, Ursodiol is neccesary to be taken at normal dosage as prescribed by your treating doctor. The diet changes are really important, because the dissolvable stones are made mainly of cholesterol. I encourage you to keep going with these positive changes in your diet, but you should complete your medical treatment too.

The usual doses for the treatment of gallstones or biliary stones is 8-10 mg/kg/day, divided into several doses (for example twice a day as in your case).

It is important to visit your doctor regularly to check the evolution of your illness.

While taking this medication must be performed laboratory tests every few months to check that are dissolving gallstones and your liver is functioning properly.

Instructions:
Home Remedies: Gallbladder assaults might bring about bloating, burping and serious torment on the right half of the stomach area stretching out to the right shoulder and the back, as per the Earth Clinic. The facility proposes drinking a vast glass of water at the onset of an assault, which manages the stream of bile in the gallbladder. Also, expending severe fluids, for example, espresso or Swedish sharp flavoring, might lessen the rate of gallbladder assaults. The cure includes drinking so as to take a dosage of magnesium took after something sharp.
