Was anyone been able to successfully dissolve their gallstones?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, to a point: Gallstones can be dissolved using chenodeoxycholic acid, but the treatment is long and expensive, and the stones return once treatment stopped. Home remedies like olive oil and lemon juice elixir do not work. It's best to ignore gallstones until they become symptomatic, when laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a generally safe procedure, is recommended. Good luck.
