Pain after eating
Posted , 5 users are following.
For the last few days sometimes even before I have finished eating I am getting tummy ache pain in the middle of my stomach. It is below the ribs but in the middle.
It doesn't matter what I eat I still get it and it lasts for quite a while. I have started to drink peppermint tea afterwards to see if that will help. Sometimes it does but not always.
Is this now the start of the symptoms that you get with gallstones as I only got the headaches and nausea.
Is there anything that you did to help alleviate it after you ate. I am hoping it's not as I got discharged from the hosptial last week as I wasn't having the pain that is associated with it.

The tummy ache you describe does sound typical of GB symptoms. I had the ache in the Middle under my ribs, like a bloated feeling. I also had the nausea. My symptoms were intermittent so I wasn't convinced I needed surgery. But they removed a 3cm stone via key hole 11 days ago now and I feel so much better already. No more nausea. Introducing fats slowly but hAd no diarhoea like a lot of people have. Although I am tired and weak from the incisions but otherwise feel great. Have you had a scan? Maybe go back to your GP. Xx

They removed my gallblAdder. I hope it continues to improve. I do still get the occasional mid back ache but I know it's early days and is bearable so will just see how that goes but it is lovely to no longer feel nauseous and bloated. How about you ? X

I'm not entirely sure if it wAs inflamed or just the gallStones. I think I caught mine early tho before it got too bad. Some of the stories on here I feel so sorry for people. What is happening with you then? When did you have yours removed? Everyone's recovery is different. I know so many people who have had this op and they all have different outcomes. I did eAt some cake tonight which I dont think had agreed with me x

I was on lansaprazole for a while and I am sure that they caused my stomach polyps so I am loathe to get back on them again. Plus I didn't like the side effets that you got with them.
I will look into the honey but am too afraid to take anything that will break a stone up incase a piece blocked the duct. Hubby said about trying gripe water so I might give that a go.

Have an ultrasound to check this out. I waited 4 months for operation.
If it is gallstones you want to find out and get yourself on the operation list sooner rather than later
Hope this turns out to be something more minor
Take care.

I have 1 gallstone and as it wasn''t causing me any pain the consultant said that it was ok not to have the op but if things got worse or I changed my mind about the op then I need to get referred again. This is somthing that has just started and am hoping it will setttle down.
