Gallbladder related or Peptic Ulcer? Please help!

Posted , 11 users are following.

Hi everyone, it's me again. So it's been about a month since I had my severe attack. I still have pain under my right ribs in the URQ, excessive gas, belching, nausea, loss of appetite, heart burn, acid reflux (burning sensation in my upper stomach and above), and excessive mucus in my throats that comes and goes (more after I eat), weird stools, cramping in the intestines randomly, and random pain behind my right knee. I  feel like I'm getting sicker in a way... just feel very unwell. I had an appointment with a specialist who thinks it could be; gallbladder related (small gallstones lodged in the bile duct) or perhaps a peptic ulcer. I have an upper endoscopy, CT scan, and blood work appointments all through to September. Can anyone tell me what their symptoms for gallbladder problems are or ulcers? Much appreciated! Going kinda crazy from this horrible feeling.

    I had experience those symptoms too. for almost 7 months I suffered from upper abdominal pain, I assumed it was only gastric ulcer who's attacking my tummy but last end of May I experienced severe abdominal pain. I was rush in the hospital and immediately undergone same tests, the results are positive I was diagnosed with multiple gall bladder stones. Its not so serious disease for some but the pain we had to get through everyday could really change your life. I was advised to undergo operation to remove my gall bladder but I refused to do it. My reason is that gall bladder is the one releasing acid to help us digest food in our stomach so imagine life without this? so I browse the internet, ask from friends the natural remedy for gall bladder stones. My mom told me to try RADDISH, she told me that my father once experience this kind of disease and he uses this RADDISH to break all those stones inside. Then after six months after the repeat of my dad's laboratory they found out that the stones was gone already. In my case since I dont want to removed my gall bladder too I also tried to used raddish as my medicine. Every morning I extracted the juice of raddish and drink before meal 3 times a day. And since I was doing this I dont feel any pain now. I can do my daily routine without worrying the pain but I also do a regular excercise and diet. I only eat fruits, chicken, fish and vegetable less oil and any fatty foods that my trigger the pain.

    I hope you will try the raddish as medicine and get heal. God bless

      The pain may occur 1-2 hours after meal and can last for 3-4 hours. The pain in the upper abdomen to the pain at the back, heart burn and acid reflux. Almost all symptoms are the same with ulcer. Try to used raddish for the pain.

    i had all the same symptoms and finally had my gallbladder removed. it took years and a lot of pain because it took docs so long to do the correct tests(some kind of imaging after i drank some dye then heavy cream) . ultrasounds always showed nothing. turns out my GB was only working at 12% & I had "sludge", not stones. i still occasionally get small attacks because my bile ducts were also causing issues . seriously though - my life got so much better after surgery. good luck to all who read this. I know the agony you must feel.
