Gallstones anyone?

[Earthrocknroll]

I think I might have gallstones. About a month ago I had what I thought was reflux but it’s developed into pain under the right ribs. Also have
Diarrhoea after eating fatty food or anything but a few veggies now
I often wake sweating at 4-5 am which I never have before
Bloating after eating any food and wind
Painful indigestion (twisty, grumbly feeling), reflux
Nausea
Headaches/migraines
Right shoulder pain, feel like a muscle
Pain breathing in (under right ribs)
Appetite’s gone completely
Feeling of something stuck under right ribs
Can’t lie on my right side or back in bed as it makes the pain worse

I’m only able to eat small amounts of mashed or souped veggies, but only plain ones like carrot. Also a small amount of puréed brown rice.

I am booked in for an ultrasound but I wanted to see if others have experienced the same and what the outcome was?

Yep, sounds like gallstones to me. you have my sympathies. When mine were at their worst even drinking water seemed to set them off.

Well you obviously can't go ok eating so little. It sounds like how my gallstones developed. When it got bad, I was vomiting too. First started in the August, had my gallbladder out in the February. I didn't have any choice as my diet had got so limited....

Thank you. Yes the eating issue is difficult, I keep hoping it’ll all settle but it hasn’t and it now feels like something is lodged under my ribs and bruised. All the reading I’ve done says attacks can last hours or days, but this has been weeks.

Definitely sounds like gallstones

Mine started back in January! But got unbearable in July when the episodes were almost every day up until the end of august.

I am sat in the waiting room right this moment to have my gallbladder taken out

Gosh, good luck 123, I hope it goes well.

It went wonderfully back home by 8pm

Bit sore but nothing compared to the gallbladder attacks I was having
