I've had my gallbladder removed, pancreatitus, liver inflamation, and nothing but issues after having my gallbladder removed 7 years ago. I can't believe I lived 7 years in this hell, honestly.

About 6 months ago, I started getting extremely violent vomit attacks. They rivaled gallstone attacks, but without the pain. I would burp a lot, and get a very VERY bad taste in my mouth. Worse then anything I've ever tasted. I know when I taste that, I have a day's worth of violently vomiting brown bile and paralyzing exhaustion ahead of me. I get extreme hot and cold sweat swings within seconds of each other, and I usually pass out! It's horrible, and it's embarrising if it happens when I'm working, and wind up having to get someone to take me to the hospital. What's even worse? Doctors who tell me it's indigestion, and give me antacid prescriptions. Which I have been on, and they don't work. I went to the hospital recently and they injected me with pepsid and an antinausea medicine, and as I predicted (because it didn't seem like "indigestion" to me), neither worked. After the attacks I can't take in much air in my lungs because my diaphram is so sore from vomiting, it feels like I did 5-zillion sit-ups.

The other issue I know makes a diffrence is diet and stress. I'm not overweight,I don't always have the best diet, but I dont eat out often, I eat grilled or baked plain chicken, very rarely lean beef, a veggie, and rice or potatoes with nothing on them. My stress level has been off the charts, though, and it's my time of the month, so I'm thinking this plays into it. My theory is it's a build up of toxins in my liver? Anyone?

I get so annoyed that it takes up so much of my life, as I'm a single, working mom. I dont have time to take off for being sick. It takes me 2-3 days to recover from these "attacks" and I dont usually have time to do that. I've seen several doctors who just want to put me on MORE medication that doesn't work, I'm sick of it. Again, no time to deal with doctors who never seem to have ANY knowledge of how to deal with someone once they rip their gallbladder out. Seriously! What kind of "healer" takes out an organ that large, saying you don't need it, sends you on your way, then treats you like you are a wuss that's either faking or too sensitive when you get sick afterwards?! It's disgusting and irresponsible.

Whew. Sorry for the venting, but I know there are lots of people here who can relate... I've found a hollistic doctor that I'm going to see about stress management, nutritional management, and finding a detox that I can actually stomach and stick with. This forum has taught me a lot over the past 7 years. I'm a better person for it. Gross, as poo means a lot to me now, but better...
