Is it my Gall Bladder?

You need to be more specific about your symptoms.\n\nWhere in your abdomen is the pain? Upper, lower, middle, right, left, center? Is it a radiating pain, or a constant, unchanging one?  Are you vomiting?  How does your head feel?  Fever?  Are there pains anywhere else, like your back or rectum area?\n\n\nCould be appendicitis, gallbladder attack, pancreatitis, or other things.  For any of the above three, you must go to hospital asap.  Appendicitis and pancreatitis can be and are deadly sometimes.

In my opinion, there is some kind of infection related to the gall bladder (use to digest the food). It may be cholecystitis or otherwise. You are advised to consult any surgeon for more details.

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.

I highly recommend you see a doctor.  The fact that you have pain after you eat suggests gall bladder pain.  Gall bladder pain can refer to the left side.  You really need to have blood test, perhaps an ultrasound.  Very easy to determine what this is from.  GET TO A DOCTOR!

It depends on the size and amount of stones that you have.As far as alternative treatment is considered,stay away from so called "gall bladder flushes",trying to flush out stones yourself is a serious no no,because their is a chance a stone can get lodged in the bile duct,and in that case it would require emergency surgery.Most of the time gallstones remain inactive and there is no potential risks other then the  occassional discomfort after fatty meals.Most gastrointologist reccomend having the entire gallbladder removed,if the stones are very large or it continues to be bothersome.Stones can push against the liver leading to several serious conditions.This is why proper evaluation and treatment from a well trained gastrointologist is an absolute must!What are the complications of gallstones? \n\nBiliary colic is the most common symptom of gallstones, but, fortunately, it is a self-limiting symptom. There are, however, more serious complications of gallstones. \n\nCholecystitis. Cholecystitis is an inflammatory condition of the gallbladder. Like biliary colic, it too is caused by sudden obstruction of the ducts by a gallstone, usually the cystic duct. In fact, cholecystitis may begin with an episode of biliary colic. Obstruction of the cystic duct causes the wall of the gallbladder to begin secreting fluid just as with biliary colic, however, for unclear reasons, inflammation sets in. At first the inflammation is sterile, that is, there is no infection with bacteria; however, over time the bile and gallbladder become infected with bacteria that travel through the ducts from the intestine.\n\nWith cholecystitis, there is constant pain in the right upper abdomen. Inflammation extends through the wall of the gallbladder, and the right upper abdomen becomes tender when it is pushed. Unlike with biliary colic, however, it is painful to move. Individuals with cholecystitis usually lie still. There is fever, and the white blood cell count is elevated, both signs of inflammation. Cholecystitis usually is treated with antibiotics, and most episodes will resolve over several days. Even without antibiotics, cholecystitis often resolves. As with biliary colic, movement of the gallstone out of the cystic duct and back into the gallbladder relieves the obstruction and allows the inflammation to resolve.\n\nCholangitis. Cholangitis is a condition in which bile in the common, hepatic, and intrahepatic ducts becomes infected. Like cholecystitis, the infection spreads through the ducts from the intestine after the ducts become obstructed by a gallstone. Patients with cholangitis are very sick with a high fever and elevated white blood cell counts. Cholangitis may result in an abscess within the liver or sepsis. (See discussion of sepsis below.)\n\nGangrene. Gangrene of the gallbladder is a condition in which the inflammation of cholecystitis cuts off the supply of blood to the gallbladder. Without blood, the tissues forming the wall of the gallbladder die, and this makes the wall very weak. The weakness combined with infection often leads to rupture of the gallbladder. The infection then may spread throughout the abdomen, though often the rupture is confined to a small area around the gallbladder (a confined perforation).\n\nJaundice. Jaundice is a condition in which bilirubin accumulates in the body. Bilirubin is brownish-black, yellow when it is not too concentrated. A build-up of bilirubin in the body turns the skin and whites of the eye (sclera) yellow. Jaundice occurs when there is prolonged obstruction of the bile ducts. The obstruction may be due to gallstones, but it also may be due to many other causes of obstruction, for example, tumors of the bile ducts or surrounding tissues. (Other causes of jaundice are a rapid destruction of red blood cells that overwhelms the ability of the liver to remove it from the blood or a damaged liver that cannot remove bilirubin from the blood normally.) Jaundice, by itself, does not cause pr

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.

Registered Nurse here; The symptoms can vary from vague to intense.  One may feel nausea after meals for months, others may have acute pain, in the abdominal area, radiating down either side, and through to the back and across the shoulders.  Actually, an acute gallbladder attack can mimic similar symptoms as those of a Myocardial Infraction (heart attack).  The Hallmark signs that something is ad-mist with your gallbladder. Is nausea, vomiting and pain.  Thanks for the opportunity to address such a well written question.

Yes, gallbladder pain can radiate.  It can feel like back pain or even stomach cramps, and can make you feel short of breath (called Murphy's sign).  And if you get a colon cleanse with an inflammed/infected gallbladder, like the first guy said, it could rupture and you may die a slow and horrible death of peritonitis.  Have you had an ultrasound of the actual gallbladder?  This can bother you even when you are not eating, and intermittant pain can be a sign of passing the gall stones.  I have done this a few times and it was the worst pain I ever felt in my life, even worse than child birth.  There are the five F's risk factors of gallbladder disease:  Female, Fat, Fertile, Family history, and over Forty.  If you have more than three, you should get rechecked, especailly if you have had a baby recently (that IS IF you are a female).

Could be your gallbladder. I felt like I was having a heart attack.\n\nHope you find out soon.

Could be any number of concerns ranging from Endometriosis to an inflamed/diseased gall bladder.  I assume at least one of the two docs you have seen is a gynecologist?  Make sure an ecoptic pregnancy is ruled out and consider a differential diagnosis of Endometriosis, fibroids, cysts or other reproductive concern; also, a visit to the gastroenterologist can be helpful to rule out gall bladder disease.  Good luck and don't stop seeing docs till you get one that gives you answers and helps you feel better.

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

Yes!  First, you should go to your medical doctor and ask for a diagnosis.  Your M.D. might zone in on your gallbladder or liver.   If you don't have an emergency situation, then look for a qualified acupuncturist or practitioner of Chinese medicine (acupuncture is one part of Chinese medicine, which also includes herbs, massage, and more).\n\nAdditional Info:\nI couldn't find the link at the World Health Organization's Website, but the first link below gives the list of conditions treatable with acupuncture.  Digestive disorders are among them.  Go and get the tests done, but don't delay in finding yourself a qualified pracitioner of Acupuncture/Chinese Medicine.  I have included a link to NCCAOM where you can search for a therapist.

I know you said you've already had you're gallbladder tested,but I am suggesting you get it tested again by a urologist.The reason behind this is because he/she can do a test involving dye injected into your gallbladder to see if it is even working.I had the same symptoms for years and had this test done,found out I had a diskenetic(none working gallbladder)that caused me a great deal of pain.I had the laproscopic surgery to have it removed and no longer have that pain.Best wishes on finding out results!

Very likely a hernia. See your doctor.

No.  If you worry and are nervous excessively, it could cause you stomach irritations.  Check out Digestive Tract diseases.  Also, if you still have your gallbladder, it's worth checking into seeing if it's diseased (with stones), or if the bile ducts are malfunctioning.  It could be that is what's causing the acid reflux.  You should talk to your doctor(s) about seeing a Gastroenterologist regarding the GERD, IBS, gall stones, kidney stones, and also gastroparesis (paralyzation of the stomach).  I have diabetic gastroparesis.  Many variations of diets and meds are available for treatment.  They're all connected in the processes of digestion.  I have these diseases, and also have the excessive worrying...mine is due to having Adult ADD, bipolar II, obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety/panic disorder with severe depression...if that's not enough in itself to worry about!\n\nI hope this information helps.  I would suggest doing some research on these topics on the web, and writing down questions you have to take with you to your doctor(s).

Well, it's simple.  The gall bladder is just that - a bladder.  It is a temporary holding space for bile and other digestive enzymes.  When the gall bladder is overwhelmed with formed gall stones or sludge, it contracts painfully to eliminate the blockage.\n\nWhen the gall bladder is removed, no gall stones or sludge are produced and the digestive juices flow down the re-connected common bile duct into the intestines to assist in digestion.
