I was just diagnosed with Gallstones 2 weeks ago. In less than 2 months I have had 3 painful attacks which include pain, nausea, vomitting. My urine is bright orange -- telling me that there is blood in it. My doctor thought it was the beginning of my period last month, but I have the blood again and my period is a week and a half away. I don't know why there is blood, possibly because the gallbladder & kidney are related/near each other (?). I am going to find out from my doctor. I am having gallbladder removal surgery ... and not too soon.
