WHAT ARE the first signs of gall bladder trouble?

Answer 1

Bloating and pressure under the right ribcage are indications of liver and gall-bladder trouble and possible stone development. Mild symptoms of indigestion, gas and bloating from eating rich, oily or creamy foods high in fat content are often a sign of inadequate bile.

Answer 2

Ashley....; The pancreas doesn't produce exact symptoms, but the gall bladder is the storage organ for bile, which is produced by the liver, and is excreted to the digestive system to help digest fats. If there is a bile duct blockage you will have pain such as you describe after eating fried foods. If this is so, do a web search on "gall bladder flush", and give it a try. These usually involve regular coke and olive oil. The pain you report may be originating in the liver or kidney, an MD could diagnose this easily with a simple blood test. The blood test would also reveal an elevated white blood count, which MAY indicate a pancreas, or other stress in your body.

Signs Gallbladder Trouble

Answer 4

I had my gall bladder out during my pregnancy. First signs were stomach problems, pressure and pain. I went to a Dr and gave me an antacid and sent me home. Well, the pain started becoming much worse, it radiates to t he right side of your stomach, actually is as painful as labor (sorry for being so blunt) and I remember feeling alot of pressure in my shoulder blade. It sounds weird but the pain is something you never forget. I had mine out in 1986 so laser wasn't an option but today they can do one day procedures VS my 2 week stay in the hospital. By the way, the Dr I went to told me I wore my pants too tight and that's probably causing stomach problems so I'm sure it took quite a few years to end up with a diseased gallbladder and stones. Wishing you the best!

Answer 5

Signs Of A Gallbladder Problem

Answer 6

Gallbladder trouble could produce the following symptoms: pain, nausea, indigestion, and/or your stomach "just does not feel right". These symptoms will increase as the trouble persists.

We can not say for sure, but your gallbladder problems may be related to an allergy or sensitivity to some food. A Dr. Breneman studied allergies and gallbladder patients that were about to have surgery and other remedies applied to it. He found that by using his "elimination diet" approach, he could "cure" most patients with gallbladder trouble.

This "elimination diet" will not get rid of gallstones however. For gallstones, you might try nutritional ways of healing. We have answered this question in our FAQ section at http://www.nutritionfarm.com/FAQs/gallstones.htm

The elimination diet consists of consuming only a few selected "low allergy-risk" foods for one week. Keep a diary of what you eat and drink and how you feel afterwards. The only food or liquid you should take is water and the following foods: beef, rye, soy, rice, cherry, peach, apricot, beet, and spinach. One of two things will happen:

1) the elimination diet will work -- all symptoms of gallbladder trouble will disappear within three to five days. This means that your symptoms were related to a food allergy or sensitivity. You should now start adding other foods to your diet (such as the list* that follows), still noting what foods cause your symptoms to return. Or,

2) the elimination diet will not work -- your symptoms are still there. Then it could mean that you do not have food allergies or one of the foods in the elimination diet is causing the problems. To find out if one of the foods on the list is the problem, you should fast for five days. During this time if your symptoms disappear, then it is one of the foods on the list. Start taking one food at a time until you can eliminate the food or foods giving you the allergies. Then continue on with the list* that follows.

Once you begin adding other foods to your diet (after feeling much better), start with the "high allergy-risk" foods such as the list that follows (this table shows the percent of patients that were allergic to the food shown):

Answer 7

Mine started as little annoying pains under my left breast. I kept getting them. My first big attack was a week later after going to the movies. The popcorn with butter brought it on. I went to the ER. I was lucky, they kept me overnight and took it out the next day.
