Gall stone pain-help
Posted , 12 users are following.
Hi I am new to this group. I was diagnosed last year with having gall stones after having had an endoscopy. I wanted to ask if anyone has any advice as to how you deal with the pain when you have an episode. I had an episode this morning it started at 2am and eventually subsided at 5.15am. Symptoms excruciating abdominal pain, wanting to go to the loo, excessive sweating, nausea.
Today I've been like a zombie, still feel a niggly pain but not as bad as earlier, so I'm not eating tonight.
would really appreciate your thoughts / comments.
thanks K

Although I still have to be very careful what I eat or I get bad stomach ache I am a lot better than I was when I had the gallstones.
Oramorphine helped me. If yu are really struggling you have to keep going back to yor local surgery like I did and push to have this operation.
Good luck with all this, hope it settles down

My first onset was a week ago I thought I was dying, I was told there was alot of infection, and that my Panceas was imflammed, had drugs in hospital for 4 days.
I am going back in 6 weeks to see whats what, what has been offered to you? The thing is I dont want my gallbladder removed if its my fatty liver causing the pain, x

Maybe I am confused maybe its gallbladder that is infected that causes the pain and not the stones? i understood that a stone could get lodged causing problems. Like I said previously my Pancreaes was inflammed and I even had a high White blood cell count, and deranged liver funchion tests. I obviously need to investigate further, as I would rather not have the operation xxx

ok I found buscopan when I had an attack and domperidon an anti sic med which you can buy over the counter ... Obviously the vomiting attack reaches a point when you can take something that's when I took these doctor did prescribe..and it worked.. But I controlled mine with diet while waiting for operation. No fat no hard to digest foods no chocolate no caffeine no alcohol ... Basically I lived on toast with marmite , boiled potatoes and boiled veg with low fat bisto gravy for lunch and dinner every day ..and yes it was boring but I had no colic attacks and just a constant gnawing pain under right rib ... Then after operation ..never felt better can eat anything and no pain ...hope that helps

thanks yes I find like you the more bland food I have the better it is. I just really don't want to have the surgery. The consultant I spoke to said his wife has gall stones but like me she elected not to have surgery and to control it by diet.
