No gallbladder but have burning pain !
Posted , 4 users are following.
Had gallbladder out over a year and a half. No problems . Then suddenly started with this terrible burning pain upper right abdominal area where my gallbladder was. Started to take Prilosec 20 mg twice a day . It only took the edge of the pain away. I didn’t have anything else, no nauseous, no diarrhea , no vomiting. Had ultrasound only showed fatty liver. Went to Doctor then was given protonix 40 mg took this 2x a day. This helped a little-then burning pain would start 2 hours after eating-instead of all day long. So I would take Gaviscon which would help. It’s been 5 weeks now and I am still with this burning pain . Then I bought some papaya enzymes . I would take them right after eating. To my surprise it would take the pain completely away till I would eat again. I have a gastro appt in 2 weeks. Does anybody know what this could be. It’s really frustrating me ! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated .

Nancy yes I did get your message , thank you so much . I went to gastro the other day , because I still have burning after I eat I was on protonix twice a day and then went down to once a day . I mentioned to her about the bile but she really didn’t think it was that. I also told her that when I take papaya enzymes that they help better than the gaviscon. But she is thinking on more that it could be hy pylori or a stone because of the intense pain. Anyway since I have to go out of town for a week she told me to keep taking the protonix once a day and take 1 Zantac at night but today I put a call in because the burning is getting worse to see if I can go back taking protonix twice a day or prescribed something else at least till I get back and have more tests.
