Re: More Gut Pain!

Then I suppose I'll need to find out what triggers gallbladders attacks???!!!

THEN figure out how to PREVENT it!

Ok, I read the symptoms of gallbladder 'attacks' and some could definitely apply to me. But the only specific pain I felt during these episodes was on the left side of my stomach area, not the right side at all.

Then again, I find it difficult to believe a stomach irritation could cause so much gnawing pain over such a wide area. And I would think an ulcer flareup could be relived somehow more quickly.

And from the time it began until the time it was relieved was EIGHT HOURS! So it was VERY LONG in duration and I was quite miserable!

How do docs check for gallbladder problems? I've had them press in and around my gallbladder area before with no pain or problems. Do they do ultrasounds or what?
