Let me take your questions one by one. Yes - the bitter taste on the right side of the tongue and the right-sided throat irritation that worsens when your acidity increases are almost certainly due to laryngopharyngeal reflux, that is acid and bile vapour reaching the upper throat. It typically gives throat irritation, frequent throat clearing, a lump-in-throat feeling and a bitter or metallic taste, and it is often one-sided depending on your sleeping posture. The yellow, sometimes foamy stools are usually fast transit with bile-rich stool or fat malabsorption from diet - with normal LFT, normal CBC, normal ESR and no jaundice, this is not a worrying pattern; reducing oily and fried food usually settles it. Mild gastric and gallbladder wall thickening on an old ultrasound, with no stones now and normal liver tests, needs no active treatment - a repeat ultrasound once in a year is more than enough. My advice: start a proton pump inhibitor such as pantoprazole 40 mg once daily 30 minutes before breakfast for 4-6 weeks, and if the taste and throat symptoms are strong, add a night dose of a prokinetic or an alginate syrup after dinner. Along with this, eat small frequent meals, finish dinner 3 hours before lying down, raise the head end of the bed by 6 inches, cut down tea/coffee, spicy and oily food, citrus, aerated drinks, smoking and alcohol, and reduce weight if applicable. If symptoms persist after 6-8 weeks, get an upper GI endoscopy with a test for H. pylori, and an ENT scopy of the larynx. Please get checked earlier if you develop difficulty in swallowing, food sticking, vomiting of blood, black stools, unintentional weight loss or persistent right upper abdominal pain with fever. Do consult me on Practo or at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj if you would like me to review your reports in detail.

Hi 1. You mentioned bitter taste especially on right side only. What about left side of tongue? A localized bitter taste on only one side of the tongue is often linked to localized nerve irritation, dental issues, or specific conditions affecting one side of the oral cavity 2. Right side throat irritation and right side tongue taste difference ( bitterness) points towards right side localised nerve irritation or damage.  May be we can consider if you are only sleeping on your right side, GERD is a possibility.. 3. Normal stool colour is yellow. You should be worried if it's not yellow. 4. Gallbladder wall thickness in USG was many years ago. Get a latest USG abdomen and review with reports for correct diagnosis and management

Huge literature  already 34 views. Change life style n diet plan drastically

A bitter/ sour  test of Tongue or in Mouth is a common symptoms of GERD ..caused by stomach acid rising  I to the esophagus and throat...... Localized perception such as one side of the tongue feel the sour or bitter test... Yellow colour Stool ..... Stool  normally brown in colour because of bile made by our liver .... If Stool is yellow mean food moves too fast through our gut you ate yellow or fatty food or your body is not absorbing fat well.... Gallbladder Thickening.... Gallbladder thickening more than 3 mm need to be investigated.... Common causes of Gallbladder Thickening =Acute/ Chronic Cholecytitis = Adenomymatosis- non cancerous growth Mucosal lining = Gallbladder Carcinoma

Yeah ,It Could Be Due To GERD.To Control Symptoms, You Must Take PPI Early In The Morning Atleast 45 min Before Breakfast.But The Other Thing You Mentioned Like Gastric Wall Thickening And Gall Bladder Thickening Is A Bit Concerning.

First to notice the foamy urine.  Get the rft,cue tests done to rule out any proteinuria or kidney related issues. Secondly the bitter taste and gastric issues are due to gerd with acidic reflux occasionally. Stool for occult test also needed to rule out h.pylori infection. Kindly start the treatment for gerd and get the remaining tests done.

Please consult me for a proper assessment and individualized treatment plan, as diagnosis and treatment depend on your clinical history and evaluation.
