View allI'm dealing with this really annoying issue where I seem to burp more than 50 times a day. It's like every time I eat, I burp a bunch of times and even when I'm not eating, it happens like 23 times an hour. I'm just trying to understand what's going on. What could be causing so much burping?

I've been dealing with indigestion because of gallstones, with the biggest one measuring 7.5mm. A lot of people are telling me to get my gallbladder removed surgically, but I'm not sure about that. Some are suggesting Ayurveda instead. Is there any way to treat gallstones properly with medications alone, without needing surgery?
Patient is advised for laparoscopic cholecystectomy or open cholecystectomy procedure.

My dad has a 7mm gallbladder stone is there any treatment to cure it without surgery or is surgery the only option?
For a 7mm gallbladder stone, while non-surgical treatments are possible, surgery (cholecystectomy) is generally the preferred and most effective way to remove the stone and prevent future problems. Non-surgical options, like medication to dissolve the stone or shock wave lithotripsy, are less common and may not be suitable for all cases
