Am I having a gallbladder problem?
Posted , 6 users are following.
I ate pasta on the 9th and within 15 minutes I had diarrhea, nausea and a fever. For the next week I suffered pretty bad nausea. Went to the emergency room for that they said I probably had an ulcer. Just had an upper GI done yesterday, no ulcer. I was talking to a boss of mine and she was telling me about how she had her gallbladder removed but she would have symptoms similar to mine before she did. I have been feeling better recently, only been eating cheese sandwiches and crackers, I ate a cookie yesterday that I bought at a store and I got sick within the hour feeling nauseous and hot. I looked up the symptoms of gallstones, I have a pain in my right side every once in awhile it's pretty dull though sometimes hurts when I move. I have light colored stools, nausea, I feel warm if I eat something other than bread/rice/crackers, I have been having chest pains. I really want to know, I'm scheduled for an abdominal ultrasound on the 3rd of June, will they be able to tell if I have gallstones? Is it possible to have a problem with your gallbladder without gallstones and how can they test that?

poor thing . My gp put me on omeprazole which prevents your liver producing about 99 percent of the acid it usually produces. I was given it when they thought I had ulcers but it helps with the nausea. Also gaviscon I munched those just don't take them an hour before or after any tablets as gaviscon prevents them being absorbed.
Then it's diet. No fat , so skimmed milk .no butter no animal fat eat very easy to digest foods so over boil your veg , eat mushy sloppy foods mash
potato bisto gravy boiled veg and steamed fish or chicken . Red meat too rich hard to digest. Fruit is acidic I found it triggered nausea. It's horribly boring but your gallbladder will settle down.
oh yes no caffeine that aggravates the gallbladder. Mint tea and camomile excellent.
If you can't get omeprazole off your gp . Get some gaviscon tablets you'll be amazed how they settle nausea.
Wont be long and you won't feel billious you will be able to eat anything and your problem will be self control and putting weight on 😳😁

As nerves make you request acid/ bile more from your gallbladder to your tummy. When you eat fatty or rich food your tummy requests concentrated bile from your gallbladder . Your gallbladder sqeezes the bile out the stones rub together and your gallbladder becomes inflamed sore like a mouse gnawing on your ribs ... If the gallbladder sqeezes and a stone gets stuck in a bile duct you get the agony colic vomiting attack until the stone passes or dislodges. Buscopan is anti spasmodic stops the squeezing. So eating the bland food stops your tummy requesting extra bile. I just read that caffeine makes the gallbladder contract . And I found mine settled . The bland boring diet will settle it . But you need it out cos who wants to live on that diet forever ... Hang in there be sorted soon..

I drink caffeine tea, chocolate, fatty foods curry spice in fact anything and guess what put on a stone and a bit since February 2014 when I had my op. But I am happy. And yes dieting now .
The operation is very safe of course nothing is 100 percent but they do it as day surgery. Rest up till you heal inside 6 weeks no lifting etc and you'll bee a new you now eat bland and settle down till your op.
