Hi, came across this forum when researching gallstones....
I have been suffering from loose bowels and pain attacks for 9 years, in the last month I have been very poorly, vomiting and in alot of pain. I was told five years ago that all my pain and discomfort was down to IBS. I have visited the drs and a&e as the pain/vomiting got very bad and each time I was told its Ibs, then after complaining and asking for a second opinion a doc said it could be gallstones. Anyway I have just had a scan and the dr who did it said I have alot of stones and that he is fast tracking my results to my gp for referel. Am now concerned that I will be left to wait months for the op, have lost around a stone in weight in 3wks! cant eat, sleep etc... I am 26 and feel like they are saying this is my fault, has anyone got any advice...have been told not to eat fruit, veg, fatty or spicy food. This doesnt leave alot to eat and I constantly feel weak and tired, just really rundown....sorry about length of this just need some support! Many Thanx.

I went to see the consultant about 6 weeks ago and am still waiting for an operation date. The good thing is fingers crossed I am relatively pain free at the minute with following a low fat diet. Like Vixen said you have to try things to see if they agree with you or not, but I have never been told to avoid fruit and veg, in fact fruit and veg make up the main of my diet. I must say though after being diagnosed with gallstones it is a major lifestyle change for me personally :shock:

it is important to stick to the low fat diet as not doing so could cause further problems and delay surgery!! if you feel things are getting worse see your gp again as he can contact the consaultant and report changes.
all the best and i hope you get things sorted without too much further suffering.
keep us posted with how you are getting on.
