15 yr old female with possible gallbladder problem
Posted , 3 users are following.
My daughter is 15 yr's old. She had her appendix removed 3 weeks ago and we were told after that surgery that her gallbladder was very swollen and her Bilirubin levels were high. For close to 2 years she's had digestive problems, a lot of diarrhea after she eats and abdominal and back pain, never thought gallbladder till now.
We go back in 2 days for follow up on te appendix and more test on gallbladder, but I'm worried. I had my GB out 9 months ago, and though the pain is better, the bowel issues are horrible. She's only 15 and idontwantthis for her, any suggestions or stories would be appreciated!

I had my gallbladder out two and a half years ago, I'd had a stuck gallstone for over three months, waiting for the procedure to have it removed before surgery I ended up so ill I had to have emergency surgery. Took nearly a year to settle down but now the only thing I get is an acid stomach every now and again, surgeon said it's from the bile now being a constant trickle into the stomach and if there are no fats in there then I get an acid stomach. Other than that I'm fine, can eat almost anything I want, including curry, cream etc. not that I eat them a lot, only thing I have trouble with is bread, can eat a small amount and toast, but otherwise I feel like it's a big lump, so I just avoid it.
Hope this helps show not everyone has problems after having their gallbladder out.
