    Hi. I had my gallbladder taken out 2 months ago and I have the churning stomach as well. It has eases a bit but still have it and it is uncomfortable. I keep a food diary to try to find out what could be triggering it. Hope it eases for you.

    hi there

    i had my GB out almost 11 weeks ago at the end of september. surgery went smooth, my incisions healed up great. the only problem ive have now is nausea. it still has not went away. i have tried a bunch of home remdies, nothing worked. my GI doctor has me on Zofran and Phenagren which only works when it wants to. i recently found out i had a infection and was given antibiotics and the infection is gone now. while i was on that medicine, the nausea went away, the first day after i finished it, here comes the nausea again. and heartburn. and burping a lot.

    my GI doc is now thinking about doing a endoscopy where they sedate you and stick a tube with a camera down your throat to see what they find. shes thinking ive developed acid reflux? i dont know.

    i developed anxiety with this and i still have it. its not fun. Your mind is telling you to give up, but you know you cant even though you are tired.

    im sorry you are going through the stomach issues and anxiety. i pray for everyone on this board including me that we will heal and get back to normal soon.

    sounds like your coming down on depression especially with anxiety, i said this because i went through this and still going through it, am still fighting to feeling like myself but its very hard, i had removal end of october of this year and i had this feeling in my tummy as well along with this like a sick and pukeky feeling especially after eating but i find it slowly calm down. my surgeon said it could take 6-12 months to feel normal again plus am suffering from bad acid reflux that i thought would of went away after i had the surgery done but it didnt so all of this made my anxiety worst than it was before and a matter of fact my gallbladder start up my anxiety and made me depressed. i really hope you feel better, dont give in to this feeling i wish i had known what this feeling was before it had gotten out of hand
