Did your pain go away once you had the gallbladder out, I'm at the out point where I want it out, but if the pain isn't going to stop that would be foolish. Other members have given me some great ideas for the gallbladder such as Kefir, and I am going to hopefully see if that will help with the pain at all once I see my GI Doctor soon. On another forum a member made me aware of a drug interaction with the new medication my neurologist wants me to take. I am so happy I found this website it has made a big difference to be able to talk to others who understand.

Well I did a no no, I had this stomach pain for years, and I chewed anti acids like candy. I had no health insurance, and people who have no health insurance don't go to doctors unless they are dying so to speak. I also raised two kids on my own as an artist. By the time I had this "attack" so painful I was sick at an art show, I packed it up at the show and was driven right to the hospital. I waited way too long and had gangreen in my galbladder. Guess I put that off too long huh? I got into a dangerous situation. However after it came out, that particuar pain did go away. I now watch my diet, especially with fat content. Also took off 65 pounds to try and help my health in numerous ways. Had to, I wasn't heading in a good direction. Keep a doc involved with your galbladder and don't take a chance with it becoming infected like I did. I was foolish. ginnie

Wow, that's really intense. I am happy to hear even though you experienced a great deal of pain, that this pain went away once you had it removed. I have a doctor involved, and will hopefully have all this settled soon (either a new med, new natural therapy, or have it out)
