I am in the US and here they would treat gall bladder problems by removing it(surgically) and possibly the same with the section of the bowel. I would say right now your mum needs to drink lots of water if she can tolerate it this will help with kidneys and bowel issues. Also a diet high in fiber will help a little withthe bowel. Exercise and a good diet(low fat high fiber protien rich) will help her in her recovery as will a good vitamin supplement.\n\nShe has so many things going on in her body I would imagine this will take some time to be corrected. Talk to the doctor who is treating your mum(or possibly a nurse in the office) and see if he has further suggestions for you and her.\n\nBest wishes and good luck to you both!

I have had gallbladder surgery.  I had several problems with mine.  The bloating that you are feeling is most likely caused from the gas that they use to help keep the stomache area inflated while they perform the surgery.  If this is the case, make sure that you do plenty of walking around.  This will help the gas be absorbed into the body and regulate the pressure that was once in the cavaty.  Another possibility is that the swelling and bloating that you are feeling right now if it is not due to the gas is the inflammation of the surgery.  Make sure that you don't over do it and with time it should go away.  However, if you notice that you stomach area is becoming black looking or the blackness that you may already have seems to be spreading consult a dr immediately.  Hopefully this helps to releave some of the tension that you might be experiencing.  Just remember that when in doubt see your doctor.

I had my gallbladder removed when I was 15 and I am now 26. At the time of my surgery, they did not tell me what I was in for. I sure wish I had the darn thing back. I had an upset stomach after only a few bites of food and was running to the bathroom every 10 minutes. The doctor told me to stay away from spicy and really fatty foods, but I have found that most of the time I get sick no matter what type of food I eat. What I have found is that if you skip a meal or two and then eat a heavy meal, you will most surely be really sick. So I make sure that I eat a little something even if I'm not that hungry. It also helps to make sure that you eat a bland breakfast if you want to have a nice lunch or dinner that might be fatty or spicy. I hope this helps and feel free to send me a message. I have found that you really have to bond with other people who have had this procedure and you will find that you are not alone. Good luck!

aramse.the function of the gallbladder is to concentrate your bile and nothing else. bile is produced by liver and the water content is almost 95-96% when it is released from liver. it then comes into our gallbladder just to have some water absorbed and then the water content diminishes down to 87-88%. that's all. rest of all the contents of the bile which is necessary to keep up ur important body functions are retained as previous. so there should not be any problem. but be careful with fatty foods especially in the parties. it may produce some gastric discomfort as the bile is not so concentrated to digest the fatty foods properly. apart from this there is no problem.\nprobably u r recently going to have cholecystectomy.don't worry, u will be as well after the operation as u were before.

Gallbladder Removal?\nA friend of mine had her gallbladder taken out. Ever since she has problems digesting food. If I were you and it was not an emergency, I would first look for a gentle solution. \n\nThere are natural solutions to clear out the ducts, stones etc. A naturopathic (NMD, ND) or even a homeopathic physician may be able to help. (Phone book of your area.) You may also want to look in the book Healthy Healing by Linda Rector Page.\n\nDinshah would use the Dinshah colors Lemon and Orange for gallstones. Dinshah was an ingenious physician from India, who healed his first color patient with an indigo colored bottle. The patient was given up to die by his colleagues, but thanks to Dinshah's color treatments, she was up in three days! (About Dinshah Color MedicineTM see www.biochakra.com.)\n\nI like to think about our body of being complete with all organs needed.\n\nMake a wise decision for yourself.\nCordially, India.Magica

Have you hear of Pavlovs dog?\nInherrent response to stimulus- I work in ultrasound and the smell of coffee in some patients will make the gallbladder contract a little starting a digestive respose. Or maybe your just hungry?

It could be any number of things from reflux to a bum gallbladder, best way to find out exactly what it is?  Go see a doctor instead of trying to get diagnosed on line.

Since you are not finding relief with the regular therapy with Zantac and Tums, the problem seem to be in the gall bladder. Vicky is right.  You must get your gall bladder scanned by ultrasound to see whether you have any gall stones, as that seems to be the cause.  In earlier times the gall bladder stones were detected in females of over forty but now they are being seen in early ages also (but 25 is too young for this problem).

IT could be your gall bladder, depending on which side it is on...and then again, just gas..but in a case like this,..it is best to get a doctors valuable opinion....try to change your diet to stop eating fatty foods for a while, and see if it stops..but in the meantime, you should go to a doctor if you can afford it

There are some low cost things you can do to get your health back.\n\n#1. I would try the water cure\nhttp://curezone.com/foods/watercure.asp\nDrink six glasses of water each day and add 1/4 teaspoon of unrefined sea salt to the water to start remineralizing and rehydrating your body\n\n#2. If you do not have Pancreatitis from drinking, it may be that gall stones are causing the problem. You can prepare for a gallbladder flush by drinking 1/3 teaspoon of raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar in 6 ounces of apple juice, upon rising, mid-morning, mid-afternoon and after dinnner, for one week. You can dilute the apple juice with distilled water, as I prefer. Dilution is especially recommended if you are hypoglycemic. The small stones and gravel will be removed and cleansed due to the solvent action of the malic acid, enzymes, pectins and potassium in the ACV. \n\nThen do a Gallblader Flush;\nThis method requires filling an 8 ounce glass with one part organic virgin olive oil and two parts organic apple juice. Add 1 teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar and take this mixture 3 times a day for the first day and 2 times a day on the second day. You may only drink as much apple juice as you desire on these 2 days but NO other liquids. This is not recommended for diabetics because of th high sugar content of the apple juice. Go to sleep on your right side with your right knee drawn up to the chest. On the third day, about mid-morning, eat a raw salad with generous amounts of ACV and organic olive oil on top. You can also eat lightly steamed greens, if you like. When you have a bowel movement you will notice tiny greenish stones in the bowl. Amazing! You may notice feeling nauseated as toxins, bile and mucus dump into your stomach. Should this happen, drink 1-2 glasses of distilled water and regurgitate, if you can. This will help you feel immediately better.\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=179&p=1\n\n#3 Give yourself a coffee enema after the gallblader flush(critical)\nFill enema bag\nHook about 4 feet above floor (on towel rack)\nKnee-chest position with chest against floor and rectum higher than head\nInsert nozzle tip into rectum, using lubricant (olive oil) if needed\nEmpty water into rectum, and hold inside rectum as much as possible\nMassage abdomen in counter-clockwise direction\nWhen bag is empty or no more fluid can be held, remove tip\nLie on each side for 5 minutes, while massaging abdomen\nDiscard contents of rectum into toilet\nRepeat until bag is empty\nhttp://curezone.com/art/read.asp?ID=33&db=5&C0=818\n\n#3 When you complete these cleanses, coninue drinking distilled water each day but avoid processed foods, meat, dairy, bread, sugary drinks, and diet drinks. Your body needs to have a chance to heal itself.\nhttp://notmilk.com\n\n#4 Eat mostly fruits and raw vegetables. Carrot juice has amazing healing qualities. So do blueberries. Eat or juice raw tomatoes, raw cucumbers, raw celery, raw spinach, and raw asparagus. Add Curcimin(Turmeric) to juices.\n\n#5 Vitamin C in high doses would be beneficial.\n\n#6 Get at least one hour of sunlight each day. \n\n#7 Get plenty of solid rest

I had mine removed in May this year via keyhole surgery. No complications i was out of hospital after 24 hours. But i have still had to be carefull with the amount of fat in my diet as my body has not adjusted to not  having a gallbladder so doctor suggested a very low fat diet this sometimes happens after gallbladder removal i am told, but otherwise he will feel sooooooo much better more energy and of course none of that terrible pain. After surgery he will have some pain in the shoulder this is normal due to the nerves they bump on the way. The surgeon will explain that sometimes it is not possible remove via keyhold and they will abandon this method and do a full cut meaning a longer stay in hospital. But most cases even those like mine with a vast amount of gallstones can be taken out via keyhole, so dont worry he'll do just fine :) good luck Oh yes i forgot he will probably have very loose stools for a wee while but this passes with a carefull diet plan

I had a gall bladder attack several years ago. They told me it would have to be removed surgically. I reduced my fat intake (in fact I stopped eating meat, fried stuff, etc...) and drank lots of liquids for the next few weeks. I slowly increased my intake of normal foods but maintained a healthy diet. I haven't had trouble since. I can only assume it disintegrated on its own.

Complications are rare. When complications occur, they may be in the form of: bleeding, infection and injury to the duct (tube) that carries bile from your gallbladder to your stomach.\n\nSome patients also experience diarrhea. The cause of diarrhea after gallbladder removal isn't clear.

What tests did you have?  I got gallstones after my son was born, it was horrible!  Worse than any part of labor!!  When I went to the hospital and they suspected gallstones, they set me up for a sonogram the next day!  Once the sonogram confirmed it, percocets were my best-friend until I could get into surgery.  They made the pain disappear within 20 minutes!!
