I'm having this weird pain on the right side of my ribs, kind of up close to my throat area. I've been taking rabekind medicine, but I'm just really curious about what's causing this. Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

Can I still have small amounts of white flour or alcohol like wine, beer, or vodka if I have gallstones, especially on days when symptoms flare up? What foods should I stick to if I'm delaying surgery for now?

Avoid white flour and alcohol during gallstone flare-ups; stick to low-fat, fiber-rich, bland foods.

I've got a quick question about my hbsag levels. They came back at 0.01, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Is that a normal reading, or should I be worried? I'd really like to understand the normal hbsag range and find out how serious it could be if it's active. Just trying to wrap my head around this, and any advice would be appreciated.

Your HBsAg level of 0.01 likely indicates no active infection, but its essential to discuss the result with your doctor for proper interpretation based on your health condition. If active, Hepatitis B can be dangerous, but it is manageable with proper care and treatment.
