I have recently had my gall bladder out and I have noticed that alot of mums are getting gall stones just after delivery of babies and having to have gall bladder out.
If fatty things are affecting you i would mention it to doc and ask for an ultrasound.My friend at the chemist where i work had her gasll bladder out 7 weeks after birth of DD

dont ignore it...i got pancreatitis due to the doctors not seeing my gall stones. and had to be put on a drip for 3 weeks. Steer away from all dairy,any fatty meat and bscuits and cake. I know it sounds like most foods,but if you can find a trigger than its a good way of self diagnosing. Also it will stop you getting an attack if it is gall stones
