Cholecystectomy after mild pancreatitis

Doctor can I please get your response. My wife is having multiple gallbladder stones max 4-5mm in size. 3 days back 1 stone size 4mm got stuck in CBD. It was there for some time but then got released on its own as 1 day later EUS test found no stone in CBD. But it caused mild pancreatitis with Amylase/Lipase 3500/15000. There was fever for few hours but then reduced. Yesterday the  levels were down as 1000/4000 with no other symptom except mild pain on pressure upon pancreas. My question to you is our surgeon advised 5 to 6 days rest before doing gallbladder removal. He needs pancreas to be 100% cool. But we are afraid of another stone passing and cause pain episode as it is unbearable pain. Pls advise is the doctor right or we can go for another doctor who can plan earlier GB removal in 2-3 days.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Went to a Gastroenterologist, these medicines : Secnil Forte + Nizonide gave huge relief but symptoms regained again post course. Doctor suggested Colonoscopy as I have incomplete feeling post bowel, and have to go frequently after every meal (almost an hour later post lunch). But i doubt if a colonoscopy is required hence went to another GI, and got prescribed Rifaximin, Sompraz 40 and IBSet (IBSet worsened my Gas & Flatulence). I have gas and flatulence dominant IBS.

Regarding long term use of PPIs

Since the last 3 years I have been takinv Pantop or sompraz or nexpro or vono on a SOS basis..Doctors have asked me to take these medications and also said they are safe..I had done an endoscopy back im 2023 but reports were normal...The problem is even more in winters and I stay out ffrom my home..With home cooke dfood the problem resolves and i hardly take PPIs.. Are these PPIs harmless or cause mild effects ? As the doctors and the Gastroenterologists say ?
