Can a gallstone be passed on its own. I have had attacks and scans and there is nothing there.?

Answer 1

Yes, a gallstone can pass on its own, if it is small enough. Also, it is possible to have very small gallstones- almost consistency of sand- difficult to find with scans. I had same problem, and suffered with attacks for years. Finally got one big enough that it blocked off my pancreatic duct and caused big problems. But finally got that pesky gallbladder out! Follow a low fat diet. You know your body better than anyone- pay attention to what triggers your attacks and avoid those foods.

Natural Remedies for Gallstones
Biliary colic and cholecystitis are in the spectrum of gallbladder disease. This spectrum ranges from asymptomatic gallstones to biliary colic, cholecystitis, choledocholithiasis, and cholangitis.

When gallstones temporarily obstruct the cystic duct or pass through into the common bile duct, gallstones become symptomatic and biliary colic develops. When the cystic duct or common bile duct becomes obstructed for hours or gallstones irritate the gallbladder, cholecystitis develops. Choledocholithiasis occurs when the stones become lodged in the common bile duct, resulting in possible cholangitis and ascending infections.

Natural Remedies for Biliary Colic, Cholecystitis, and Gall Stones
Gall Stone Congestion Of The Gall Bladder And Liver; indigestion, especially after fatty food. Bloating, flatulence and wind. Pain in the solar plexus (bottom of the sternam) pain to the right of the solar plexus and pain radiating around back in line with the waist, pain around right shoulder blade.

Answer 3

gallstones can pass if they are small enough. my suggestions for your ailment are cutting down on fatty foods. you may also need to see a doctor and have him test you for liver diseases as gallstones could be a sign of something wrong with the liver.

things for the doctor to test you for :
Hepatitis C-a double stranded virus whose nature is known to go un-noticed because it does not always affect the Alt and Ast levels if the doctor had run a standard blood lab. You need to be tested for antibodies, regardless of the more populare ways of contracting HCV. Some don't know they have it and others don't know how they got it.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is liver inflammation caused by a buildup of fat in the liver. NASH is part of a group of liver diseases, known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, in which fat builds up in the liver and sometimes causes liver damage that gets worse over time (progressive liver damage).

Although the cause is not known, NASH seems to be related to certain other conditions, including obesity, high cholesterol and triglycerides, and diabetes. Treatment for NASH involves controlling those underlying diseases.

Not that I've ever heard of - if you've had scans and there's nothing there, then it could be something else. Get your doctor to check you out for other things - doing a complete bloodwork will eliminate any problems, or identify any that exist. Good luck.
