My mom 68 yo. is olive oil n lemon juice for flushing the gallstone could work for her ?

No: Nothing has been found to dissolve gallstones. If she doesn't have gallbladder symptoms leave the gallbladder alone. If she has symptoms, the gallbladder should be removed if she is otherwise healthy.

No: You don't want to "flush out" gallstones. It's when they start trying to come out that they cause problems.
