Gall Stones or Cholelithisis carry symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea. Once a stone begins to block a bile duct, jaundice can occur. If you experience any of these symptoms for a long period of time, you should consult your physician. The gallbladder can bust causing infection.

Gauls don't have stones...
:-/
Seriously, I assume you mean "gallstones" ???
Here are the symptoms:
A main symptom of gallstones is commonly referred to as a gallstone "attack" in which a person will experience intense pain in the upper abdominal region that steadily increases for approximately thirty minutes to several hours. A victim may also encounter pain in the back, ordinarily between the shoulder blades, or pain under the right shoulder. Sometimes, vomiting or nausea occurs. In some cases, the pain actually develops in the lower region of the stomach, nearer to the pelvis, but this is less common.
These attacks are intensely painful, similar to that of a kidney stone attack. It is believed by some that gallstone attacks are as painful as or even surpass the intense pain of childbirth. One way to alleviate this feeling is to drink a full glass of water at the start of an attack to regulate the bile in the gallbladder, but this does not work in all cases. Another way is to take magnesium followed by a bitter liquid such as coffee or Swedish bitters an hour later. Bitter flavors stimulate bile flow and studies have found lower rates of gallstones in coffee drinkers.
Often, these attacks occur after a particularly fatty meal and almost always happen at night. Other symptoms include abdominal bloating, intolerance of fatty foods, belching, gas, and indigestion. If the above symptoms coincide with chills, low grade fever, yellowing of the skin or eyes, and/or clay-colored stool, a doctor should be consulted immediately.
Some people who have gallstones are asymptomatic and do not feel any pain or discomfort. These gallstones are called "silent stones" and do not affect the gallbladder or other internal organs. They do not need treatment.

Symptoms of gallstones are often called a gallstone "attack" because they occur suddenly. A typical attack can cause
steady pain in the upper abdomen that increases rapidly and lasts from 30 minutes to several hours
pain in the back between the shoulder blades
pain under the right shoulder
nausea or vomiting
Gallstone attacks often follow fatty meals, and they may occur during the night. Other gallstone symptoms include
abdominal bloating
recurring intolerance of fatty foods
colic
belching
gas
indigestion
People who also have the above and any of following symptoms should see a doctor right away:
chills
low-grade fever
yellowish color of the skin or whites of the eyes
clay-colored stools
Many people with gallstones have no symptoms. These patients are said to be asymptomatic, and these stones are called "silent stones." They do not interfere with gallbladder, liver, or pancreas function, and do not need treatment.

you mean Gall Stones...stones in the gall bladder!
Lot's of pain on your left arm and on the gall bladder area, right side part of the stomach. The pain is so bad that you can't find a comfortable position to lie down. Parts of your lower back also hurt.
If you think you suffer from gall stones go to a doctor and get an ultrasound to check if you have them. If that is the case then I recommend a surgery to take them out cause you can treat them and stop the pain for some time, but it will eventually come back. Just get rid of them all at once, you'll live perfectly without 'em!

That abdomen juices problem: "Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a continual digestive disease that takes position at the same time as abdomen acid or, each and every now and then, bile flows decrease back (refluxes) into your foodstuff pipe (esophagus). The backwash of acid irritates the liner of your esophagus and motives GERD indications." The aspect out of bile: Your gall bladder makes bile, a digestive juice, and typically gallstones circumvent the bile from going the position it really is meant to bypass. as a change, it sits on your abdomen and would arise. verify mutually with your physician about the GERD problem once you've had your operation and are nicely recovered. in the intervening time, something that receives on your mouth needs to be neutralized so it would not dissolve your teeth. Use a answer of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to comb your teeth and rinse your mouth any time you've that reaction.
