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
Next Steps
feel free to consult me on practo for further evaluation and management

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.

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.
Next Steps
Do An CECT Of Whole Abdomen To Detect Any Pathology Of Stomach And Gall Bladder.
