Gallbladder issues - symptoms bothering me

you have a wheat allergy. Stop eating Gluten. No more scratching. Try it for a week. Do not eat anything that contains wheat or Gluten in it. Read each and every label.

Let me know. That's the answer.

sounds to me very much like gall bladder pain. not saying its not a wheat allergy as well as lots of us dont realize that we have an alergy to wheat. but all the symptoms you describe sound lilke gall bladder stones, and the stools switiching colour.when i started the pains and even was confirmed to have one large gallstone i was still convinced that it must be something else as i had so many symptoms.also the burning is symptom i had. at first my liver function test came back with raisedwhite blood cells as i had an infection. i got anti biotics and now my liver function test is perfect.iv not had the itching..but have had everything else except change of stool colour but have read a lot about otheres having that. good luck and try not to worry. im a worryier myself. but this gall bladder things causes so many symptoms i think surely it has to be something else. but its not is gall stone. i do hope that this is some comfort to you. all the very best and keep us informed of how you get on as we are here for each other. we are all in this together. love cheeky🌺🌹

Could be gallstones. Ultrasound scan should show this.

Try not to worry.

Bullet409, I had back pain and symptoms you describe all this last summer,(last 6 months) I was have attacks about once a week for a few months, (Sept-Oct). Until one brought me into Er it was so bad. There I was disgnosed with gallstone, sludge, and wall thickening , indicating inflammation.  I sheduled a surgery date fro Nov. I  also got an  appt with a natureopathic doctor  for a natural route of treating. She got me onto some supplements and stricter food diet that helped alot. It actually helped my overall health, as in lowering my cholesterol down to normal points.  But, about 2 weeks, my gallbladder symtoms reared up, gradually worsening around the holidays,(and richer foods).  I landed back into Er Christmas eve for 3 hours, for pain relief.  I was throwing up terrible, of bile and food. Until I had dry heaves.   Did lab work, and labs were generally all normal. Got sent home with painreilvers, after they gave me IV pain med. Had Christmas day at home, but by evening still didnt feel well.  By Sat. I could hardly move from the couch or bed. Kept trying to take pain meds they gave me .  Nothing was helping for more than a hour or so. By Sunday, I went back into ER.  They did labs and a cat scan.  Labs showed high white blood cells(meaning infection) and scan showed inflamed gallbladder. I got admitted to the hosital. I was on round the clock IVs for anitbiotics and painrelievers, I was so miserable, I thought I would die.  I couldnt wait to have it out by then.  I finally got it out on Monday afternoon laposcopically.  I had to spend one more night in the hospital. Which I was thankful being I was in such pain from the infection.  Today, I got out, and yes I am in pain, but nothing near the pain experiencing with a bad gb that went into infection. The worse thing I did was postpone that surgery that I had  in Nov. I started joining forums and pages that encouraged keeping the gb at any cost. I disagree. Yes, if you catch your symptoms early enough,you maybe can turn it around. Either way, we need to make food changes before or after. I realize my foods may be touchy after with digestion. But, I had to before to, foods werent agreeing. I plan on again consulting with ND, to help me with digestive need supplements without gb.  All in all, even in recovery. I dont have hardly and back and rib pain anymore. Just the tenderness of the incisions from surgery. Little nausea yet. But I am hoping in a week or two, I will be a much better person. I am not sorry I got the surgery. It beats the attacks and backaches.  Sorry this got so long,, Good luck to YOU!

Thanks for everyone's input and support. I've heard back from my doc and he confirmed that I have no gallstones from the ultrasound.

He has scheduled a HIDA scan for next week. I feel better knowing the ball is rolling and some symptoms have subsided. Trying to keep my diet low fat in hopes that it will help.

So I guess it will be a sludge or malfunctioning gallbladder?

Any pointers on diet? I've heard that it's really person dependent, but obviously low or no fat.

Thanks everyone!

Just had the HIDA scan. Had some intense pain around the rib chest region for a minute or two. Thought I'd puke.

My shoulder, chest, and side are aching and slightly spastic now.

Watched the ultrasound going on and the tech said my gallbladder never disappeared from scan. So it may not be emptying correctly or sludge? Just postulation. Should have results in a few days.
