Subject: Re: problems after gallbladder removal Author: ron [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 08:22:42 09/13/03 Sat In reply to: Christy Medsker 's message, "Re: problems after gallbladder removal" on 20:40:37 09/10/03 Wed I would suggest seeing a Naturopath, these are problems you are probably going to have to come to terms with by adjusting your lifestyle and diet. Also please note that gallstones are also produced within the liver not just the gallbladder. Have a look at flushing sites this may also help, but a naturopath will point you in a similar direction as well suggest diet changes or supplements. Some people find that by adding bile salts to their food it helps their digestion. Note by removing a gallbladder you now have a tiny fraction of the bile you used to have when you ate certain types of food. Your stomach is effectively Acidic and bile is alkaline and is used to offset the acid from the stomach, this increases interaction increases with different food types. >Hello All, >I ran across this page after searching for some >answers on why a year after my Gallbladder was removed >do I have just as many problems??? >I also can eat healthy salads...no dressing at all >"for those who say the fatty dressings are the cause" >And I am running to the bathroom 5 minutes after >eating a plain blan salad...stomach cramps I'd say >that rank right up there with an actual gallbladder >attack! >Now I go through this routine 3 times a day....and >sometimes I'm running for more than one trip too the >restroom from one meal. >I mean these cramps make you sweat and rather die then >deal with it while the bowels move. >And of course meats and dairy products have the same >effect as the plain veggies. >I wonder if this is just what we have too live with or >if it is a major problem with some of us who suffer >this! >Anyone with any new info please let me know... >I also have the belching and bloated gassy feelings as >well. >E-mail me at christy_medsker@sbcglobal.net >Thanks for any help!

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: problems after gallbladder removal Author: Cranky Mom [Edit] Date Posted: 09:32:23 06/22/04 Tue I am 37 and having my gallbladder removed on July 14th. I had my first gallbladder attack about 7 years ago, a few days after giving birth...not as bad as childbirth, but a close second. I have an attack/episode about every three months, almost like clockwork...gallbladder goes bananas for about a week, then settles down and is okay. The pain and discomfort have been pretty steady for about the past three weeks (not sleeping well either). I do not have stones, so my insurance company keeps putting the brakes on surgery. I have reduced ejection fraction, bilary sludge and tons of bilary pain. I'm hoping that I experience immediate pain relief (as with appendectomy). I'm having a lot of cramping and having to run to the toilet now anyway, so if the gallbladder pain goes away, I figure I'll still be ahead. Interesting to read different experiences. Hope mine is one of the better ones. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I am 30 and have just found out that my gallbladder has to go. I have been having problems with gas, vomiting, etc. ,since I had my daughter in 1993. I always came up with 101 reasons why I had these problems. It wasn't until this pass December when I realize something was wrong. I started having the really bad pains in my upper right side. I did not get time to go to the doctor until the first of June. Plus, at the time the pain started it only last a couple of days and would be a few weeks before it happen again. But for the past 6 weeks I can't get much sleep. I be okay one day and the next I am a wreck. I have stop eating any thing I thought would cause the attacks but that hasn't helped. I had an ultrasound, scan, and scope. They wanted to rule out anything that could cause these problems. I have a polpy in the neck of the gall bladder. Plus, when they did the test that made the gallbladder contract I almost threw up all over the nurse. How are you doing? How did you get relief from this whole mess. I go to see the surgery tomorrow. To get everything set up for my operation. Please let me know if any one can help me. I did not get any sleep last night because of the pain. Thank You!
