Three weeks ago, I took a tablespoon of omega 3 oil with vitamin D first thing in the morning before I ate breakfast on an empty stomach. Within a few minutes, I felt my right abdomen just below the rib cage start pumping a few times. (usually I only take a teaspoon after breakfast. But I was using a tablespoon that day and pour too much, so I just drink it anyway before eating breakfast). After this, the next few days, I started feeling full and stuff after each meal (even small meal) and pain around the right ab below the rib cage. And usually an hour after the meal, I will feel dull pain on my right abdomen 2 inches from my belly button and the area feels bloated and stuffed. About 30 minutes later, the bloating will subside but the area will still feel stiff when pressed. I went to the doctor and they took blood test and a upper right abdominal ultra sound to rule out gall bladder stone. The tests and ultra sound came back normal. The doctor also told me to take an acid blocker pill every morning for 2 weeks but it did not help. The problem is still there. I have the feeling that something is stuck in my intestine. Could it be some Gallstones had come out and got stuck in my intestine and partially blocking it? I still have normal bowel movement. Any suggestion on what to take to help clearing the blockage? Would you consider my symptom is a gallstone attack or could be something else? Thanks

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,769,291I would consider doing a liver/gallbladder flush: //www.curezone.org/cleanse/liver/gallstones_and_liver_flush.asp
Most people have stones/crystal/sludge in their liver/gallbladder and many times it will not show up on an ultrasound. If you have the full feeling dull ache in the GB area after a meal chances are pretty good that a flush will help clear it out. Some times it takes many flushes to get it cleared out but persistence pays off.

This is a reply to # 1,769,291If you can remember back to the first stool following the tablespoon of omega 3 oil. What is unusual, possibly pale and sulfurous? A biliary discharge can consist of bacteria and other 'toxic' debris which can effect the intestine and cause a form of IBS. If you don't have gas then the bloating is more likely to be swelling as water moves into the gut from the intestinal wall. You should also be aware of a strong pulse 2 inches above the navel which is a reaction to a falling portal blood pressure. My advice would be not to flush, stop all supplements, eat blandly, and drink plenty of water.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,769,438I can't remember the color of the stool after the first day. I do pass gas but did not have bowel movement for the last 2 days. I do feel wanting to go but I was constipated and couldn't. I already try drinking apple juice, prune juice and they don't help yet. I don't take other supplements except omega 3 with vitamin D. I checked my blood pressure; its 111/68 which is within my usual range. Should I still drink apple juice and prune juice? Should I stop taking omega 3 oil with vitamin D? I've been researching and saw this web site mention about the Coconut Oil Liver Cleanse here //www.curezone.org/cleanse/liver/coconut_oli.asp
for constipation, gallbladder attack..etc drinking it everyday for several weeks. Should I follow this while eating blendly? Any suggestion would be appreciated. Also, I still feel the pulsing occasionally during the day my right abdomen just about 2" below my rib cage.

This is a reply to # 1,769,826You can't check the blood pressure of the portal system, however low system pressure when you have abdominal pain can indicate high portal pressure and constipation.
There is plenty of advice available for all condition. Some are for long term and others short term. You appear to have, at present, a short term problem triggered by a liver-flushing event. Doing less often achieves more but other opinions are available.
The key for IBS is to make digestion as easy as possible. This can be achieved by 'food combing', (which is separating protein and carbohydrate); eating warm cooked food, reducing non-soluble fibre, drinking plenty of water and rhythmic exercising such as walking. When this event has passed you can continue with your protocol of choice.
A discharge of toxic bile can upset the balance of bacteria in the gut, and/or change the function of the intestinal wall, and/or disturb enzymes, etc.

This is a reply to # 1,770,009Thank you for your suggestions. I finally had a bowel movement yesterday. I will continue to eat simple, drink lots of fluid and do walking exercise. One other question, can I eat yogurt to balance my bacteria in my system?

This is a reply to # 1,770,704Yes you can eat yogurt.
Please bear in mind that the colonies of bacteria in our guts are fixed when we are babies and they can not be changed by adding new types of bacteria. They can be killed by the imprudent use of Antibiotics and gastroenteritis.
However, yogurt has a good effect on the gut while you are taking it and temporarily adds some good bacteria.
There is the impression that eating yogurt and drinking those little pots of probiotics can make a permanent change for the good to bacteria colonies. Unfortunately, as soon as you stop consuming it things go back to normal.

This is a reply to # 1,769,291It is interesting how stomach acid affects bowel movements. When we eat we produce hydrochloric acid in the stomach to liquify the food. This is a strong acid and the pH becomes very low. This acidity triggers the iliac valve at the bottom of the small intestine to release digested food into the bowel, so we have the urge to deficate. In a healthy person they will have the urge to go within an hour after eating a meal. Although some Drs still advise acid blockers, many Drs now realize that this interferes with good elimination and digestion of food, so they advise taking HCl drops or Betaine - HCl to increase acidity in the stomach. This acidity does not harm the stomach and when the stomach contents pass into the small intestine it is nutralized by the bile.
One of the first signs that I had a gluten sensitivity was pain and cramping in the abdomen near the appendix area and constipation. I would massage the area until the cramps released and then I would belch a little and pass a little gas and sometime later have a bm. It may help to avoid gluten foods (wheat, barley, rye) and be tested for Celiac Disease to rule out that problem.
