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.

Continuous Sticky loose stool

Namaste Doctors, I am 26 years old and live a less active lifestyle nowadays and also, a work from home individual who spends mostly sitting in front of laptop. I have IBS issue from past. For last 2 and half weeks, I have been experiencing loose sticky stools, not in proper shape. I dont have any other complaints like stomach pain. I do have chronic gastric issue and sometimes, I take pan 40 for the same for some days and then, stop it. When i take isabgol water with mishri at night, i feel relaxed next day and i dont get sticky stools. But, if i stop taking it, that issue again comes back. Mostly, if i stay inside blanket sitting during work hour or sleeping, i get sounds from my stomach and feel like again getting "pet ki garmi". I don't do smoking or drinking. I was thinking of taking some prebiotics or probiotics and metronidazole for this but I'm not sure whether i should take. Could you please advise me what i should take for this problem? Thank you.
