No Gallbladder But Symptoms

My food is very bland and I'm not eating much .

Thanks

Hi No I didn't have any problems with my breathing .

Is it something I need to see my GP about ?

Same here ! I thought once gallbladder was removed these pains

would be gone . Not so in my case , the pain in my upper back is horrible.

Then there's the being sick !What's going on ? It is worrying and frightening.

I have some upper chest / side pain too .

I wish this could be taken more interest in by the docs.  

I was ok after surgery but the pain in back, nausea and loose motions are worse now after two years.

i think i need more tests to see what is going on, dr is very slow to react.

I saw a GP today about the pain, sickness and diarhea.

It was a trainee GP with the head Dr in with them . Dr said they didn't know

what was causing my symptoms and I was told to wait and see what happens.

Also told it might not have been my gallbladder causing the problem in the first place !!! When I came out I stood outside the door and both doctors started

laughing !!I don't feel like laughing , I can't eat and I'm in pain and feel sick !

I wish they'd got what I have , they wouldn't be laughing then .!!I feel so angry

to be treated (Not in this case ) like that .

How awful to be treated like that.  I think i woul see someone else next time.  Its such a horrible illness and i am quite down and anxious about it now too.

my dr said we could maybe keep an eye on it then if no better after xmas then an ultrasound, shes not rushing.  Meanwhile i feel awful and each day is a struggle. 

I was also told it might not have been gallbladder in first placem it could have settled in time as i wasnt aware ti try low-fat diet at that point.

anyway too late now and crying over spilt milk no good.

i wish these drs had to have these symptoms and they would soon know.

best wishes you feel a little better  

Meantime having all this nausea and loose bowels, can you or anyone else tell me what i can eat - dr said bland and i am only managing rice krispies no milk for breakfast and lunch, and boiled rice or mashed potato at night.   Its no way to live.  Just feel ill all the time.

did they give you any bile absorption tablet or powder. I had 6 months of diarahea and after taking colestopol, the 6th day it stopped and cramps also reduced. Avoid eating protein/fat/oil  or veggies for some time. try this and it really works. Get some rice and boil in cooker for 2 to 3 whistle. eat some rice and rest of the rice , pour some water until it get submerged. Keep over night outside and next day, eat the rice along with the water. This will reduce your cramps and will give good gut bacteria. Try this for a week and see how do you feel . sometimes you can mix this with home made yogurt (dont buy from shop it has lot of sugar) and have it.

Hi Katherine, I know it's early days and I can accept that .

The thing that bothers me is yesterday was the first time after removal

that I've been sick . I'm only eating sweet potato mash every day and a little chicken once or twice a week , I eat crackers every day . I'm so tired through lack of food and I'm

now malnourished but I can't eat as I have other issues that causes me pain with

food. This isn't a life and the medical profession don't care .

Hi Linda, what are you like with fish, I found plainly cooked fish was easy to eat and a little rice or pasta. Keep your portions small if you're not already and eat more frequently. 

My food was also pretty plain for a few months but I can pretty much eat what I like now but I am very cautious of high fat and spicy food.

I ate alot of plain biscuits throughout the day as they're what got me through straight after surgery. It took me months before I started to put on some of the weight that I lost, I did go and see my gp but she wasn't worried and said it takes time, I've now put on a bit but not alot.

Can you get a private appointment with a gastro, I did that 2 months later as I was still in similar pain as before as they always said not all my pain was to do with my gallbladder and he was very understanding and gave me the time that I needed. I've  got problems with nerve entrapment that is life-changing but I can only hope that one day I'll be back as I was.

 

Hi Katherine, I do have a little plain cod now and then . I find it very dry

and don't really like the taste but I eat it . I've never tried other fish except

for skippers and haddock , both made me ill for some reason, I think the skippers

we're too greasy . I can't have soup , salad , no dairy , the list is endless due to

other issues . Sorry you have got nerve entrapment , must be painful.

Hope you find something to ease the pain soon .

Try some plaice or sea bream, they are both really light and not such meaty fish as the others, light and flacky. Can you have risotto with some fish?

Yes it isn't great, already had one lot of nerve block back in July and it only lasted a few weeks before the pain was the same as before and now its worse so just waiting for another appointment for January. I take a cocktail of various meds to try and help but they only really take the edge off. The pain is very much the same as I was having with my gallbladder.

They though I might have sphincter of oddi dysfunction initially but its more likely this so they'll try the nerve block again and then I don't know. 

Its difficult I know if you have to contend with other things I'm just hoping that 2018 will be a turning point!

Let me know how things go.

 

I will try the plaice, never had risotto , will look into it , thanks for the ideas.

Good luck with the nerve block , let me know how it goes .

If you can eat it, then at least you've got some substance to help your body then you could add other things that you know you can eat.

Yes just waiting for a date now, fingers crossed its not too late in January.

Take care xx

Yes i am eating boiled rice but still got pain in back after eating. The diarrhoea isnt there just now. Some say apple sauce is good to try. Not sure but may see if i can find it in supermarket.  Pain in back is the worst, mainly after eating rice.  Dr has given me omeprazole to see if it will help.  Feel a bit woozy after taking first one.  No christmas dinner for me this year.  Also ritz crackers recommended by others.  Trial and error, though i think they may be a bit greasy.

i dont see many others with back pain, usually its at front.  Am i missing something?

did you check for kidney stones if any?

did you check for kidney stones if any?

Hi, I too have upper back pain , very uncomfortable, don't know how

to ease it . I can't have Ritz crackers , too salty . I found Rankutsen Matzo

crackers which I can eat , I get mine from Waitrose but other supermarkets

sell them , very plain .No Christmas dinner for me either this year,

very depressing as I love my food .

Hope we both start to feel better soon.

No, gp,just gave me omeprazole and sent me on my way.  I am not sure if the back pain to which i have now a cough and chills with temp in night might be a chest infection,i am worried because i had pe few years ago.  Too many things wrong.
