Pain after Gallbladder Removal?
I had my gallbladder removed 1.5 yrs. ago. Just a few months after its removal I began having painful attacks like I suffered w/ my gallbladder. I have had IBS w/ painful gas & extreme bloating since age 16. I’m 39 and still suffer from IBS, but I don’t believe that it is causing these attacks. I believe I have at least 2 separate problems (1 being IBS) & that they may tend to aggravate 1 another. I’ve also been diagnosed with acid reflux. I took Nexium for awhile. I felt it made me experience acid reflux more often. When I have the attacks, no meds really help. I’ll drink a bunch of Maalox or even take a magnesium tablet; helps maybe a bit. The pain is accompanied by what feels like a lot of liquid in my upper abdomen, like I just drank a gallon water. During these attacks,upper abdomen incredibly tender. I’ve scheduled for a colonoscopy, upper GI, & small bowels follow thru. Is it sphincter of oddi (SOD) dysfunction? Stones in bile duct? What tests would I need to have?

Having stomach bloating and upset after food. I have gallbladder stone and Fatty lever?
I would suggest that you meet a gastroentrologist and also do an endoscopy if you have not done it then only a clear picture could come out since you have already mentioned that you had ulcer in the past 4 years, it indicates that you must be having gastritis/ulcer, which a gastroentrologist only can diagnose after doing an endoscopy. Also, since the gallbladder stone is small, there is no need for removal, only if it is causing a problem then only the stone is required to be removed but never remove the gallbladder whatever the doctor's may say. As you have mentioned that you are obese and putting on weight, it indicates that your body is telling you that something is wrong, take preventive action, it also means that there is a nutrient absorption issues within your body hence you are putting on weight. Fatty liver can be cured any time. Also, you need to change your lifestyle and go for the following lifestyle. 1. Reduce but dont completely stop taking fatty food/oil fried items/cheese/butter/sugar, that make up the cholesterol, one should have little bit cholesterol daily for the body 2. Start exercising daily and see if your weight comes down, provided you do the point no.1 and no health issues relating to heart. 3. Check your Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Stool(this i think the gastroentrologist might also advise) 4. While eating your breakfast, lunch and dinner, chew your food properly so that saliva is mixed and helps the stomach to waste less energy on digesting the food intaken by you. 5. Stop drinking water half and hour before the point 4 and atleast 1 hour after taking in the food. 6. After dinner do not go to sleep immediately but walk for some time and go to sleep after 2 hours only. 7. Avoid acidic food and drink plenty of water during the day. I would say apart from meeting a gastroentrologist, also meet a good ayurveda doctor, who really is best in his field. Hope this helps
Can gallbladder disease cause stomach cramping or spasms after eating?
It can cause stomach cramping and spasms. Especially if there is sludge in it. You might not even have a stone and still have gall bladder disease. What foods seem to make this act up? If you have greasy foods or spicy foods that seem to make it worse or put an annoying pain in your back or shoulder than it's probably related to your gall bladder. You should really have an ultra sound on it so it can be ruled out. Your pancreas and other organs are there in the same area so you should visit your doctor to get looked at. There is even blood work that can be drawn such as a P-Amylase to see what organ is involved.
Gall Bladder Removal & side effects?
Dear... the doctors have advised the right thing for her. If her gallbladder is giving rise to pancreatitis then it is a grave problem and all other problems come after that. Lap. chole, as we call it, very safe and easy operation in an experts hands.There is nothing to worry about it. Some 6-10% of the people can some times have mild pain in the upperabdomen,epigastric fullness, nausea,and other such relative symptoms whcih togerther constitute "Post-Cholesystectomy Syndrome".Usually there is a definite cause for these symptoms, other than the removal of galbladder and mostly respond to the treatment. The history of having IBS andother gluten intolerance, will not alter the course and is a seperate entity. Those can be controlled with proper medications, which will be prescribed by the doctors. The best thing for her is to follow her attending doctor's advice and not listen to other hearsay talk.
