The most common disorder of the biliary tract (gallbladder and bile ducts) is gallstones. Why and how gallstones form is not fully understood, but it is thought that in some cases an abnormality in function causes the gallbladder to remove an excessive amount of water from the bile so that some of its constituents can no longer remain in solution. Gallstones occur very frequently in developed countries and may be associated with eating a diet that is high in fat and refined carbohydrates and low in fiber. As many as 10-20 percent of the U.S. population over the age of forty have gallstones, but only in a minority do symptoms occur. If gallstones are found by chance on an X-ray taken for some other reason it is standard practice to leave them alone if they are causing no symptoms, since the risk of developing problems is slightly less than the risk from a major operation. However, if a patient with asymptomatic gallstones is having an abdominal operation for another reason, the gallbladder may be removed at the same time. The problems that gallstones can give rise to are various and include cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), choledocholithiasis (gallstones in the common bile duct), and cholangitis (infection of the bile ducts), pancreatitis, and gallstone ileus (obstruction of the intestines by a gallstone).\nMake sure you eat a low fat diet, lose weight and exercise. This will help prevent the need for an operation. As a nurse personally I would try the diet with the tablets you have first THEN the operation if dieting didn't help.\nGood luck

The gallbladder  is a pear-shaped organ that stores about 50 mL of bile (or "gall") until the body needs it for digestion. The gallbladder is about 7-10cm long in humans and is dark green in appearance due to its contents (bile), not its tissue. It is connected to the liver and the duodenum by the biliary tract.\n\n\nThe gallbladder stores bile, which is released when food containing fat enters the digestive tract, stimulating the secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK). The bile emulsifies fats and neutralizes acids in partly digested food. After being stored in the gallbladder, the bile becomes more concentrated than when it left the liver, increasing its potency and intensifying its effect on fats.

not enough info to answer.  have you been eating?  drinking?  do you have pain?  you need to see a doctor.  could be a virus.  could be food poisoning (gastroenteritis) or a bowel obstruction.  or ... if you are a female you could be pregnant.  if this started suddenly and you have pain in your flank or groin area you might have a kidney stone.  so you see.....many possibilities......call your doctor or get to one asap.

It could be any number of things from reflux to a bum gallbladder, best way to find out exactly what it is?  Go see a doctor instead of trying to get diagnosed on line.

US is good it will show if stones are in bile ducts , which you still have it  even after your gallbladder removed , next step to do is ERCP , which gives better evaluation of the biliary tree by injecting dye in the biliary tree  by using endoscope , and stones if it is present can be removed endoscopically in good hands and without operation .

galstones SUCK- I've had them and they hurt. they aren't sure what causes them, but they are usually calcium or cholesterol deposits that accumulate in your galbladder and sometimes can be very painful-as in my case. People who feel galstones generally refer to pain in a sorta belt-like area across the stomach. I had my galbladder removed because of them.

You are absolutely correct when you say that some of these tests are inaccurate.My sister who was 47 was diagnosed with gall stones and it took weeks for her to get the surgery and it was then they discovered she had 3rd stage pancreatic cancer.Do yourself a favour and get that mri sooner rather than later to ensure a correct diagnosis. Hope it all goes well.

When my gallbladder gave me problems I was having stomache pain and diarria, plus heartburn. It got to the point that the pain in my upper stomache got so bad I couldn't sleep-it was worse at night. After a few hrs of pain it would jsut stop. I had an upper GI test and they found out it was full of stones and wasn't even working. i've read that sometimes too much calcium causes the stones and i've wondered if all the vitamins i took while I was pregnant didn't help cause it. Both my sister and I had our gallbladders remover shortly after having our first child.\nYou'll know if you need ot have it out. I was fortunate to have my first major attack after I was laready scheduled for surgery to have it removed. My sister had several attacks before her Dr figured it out and the pain was so horrible she fell to the floor in pain and we had to take her to the ER where they gave her Morphine to dull the pain.

Kidney stones!  See a Urologist.  Depending on the size of the stones and the location, they will either advise you to wait for the stones to pass, while straining your urine, or getting a surgical procedure to have the stones removed, either ESWL (Electric shockwaves to break up the stones) or actual surgery.  Good luck!

It depends on your height.  But even if you're short, you are definitely not obese, and that much weight won't cause you any health problems at all. (9.5 stones is roughly 130 lb, for you non-Brits.)

I don't know if they use it yet, but there is a laser process that actually explodes the stones into smaller pieces so that they can pass. It sounds like you need surgery before you have a bigger problem.

Usually bloated, sometimes nausea, pain (if stones), or feeling gassy.  Contact doctor.  I had no symptoms, but tests revealed gallbladder only functioning at 10%.

Your gall bladder is not going to explode.  Think of it this way; if you have put up with an inflamed gall bladder all of this time, why would it "explode" between now and next Monday??? I've never heard of an exploding gall bladder.  Just rest and relax.  The surgery is easy; slightly uncomfortable and you're up and around in a couple of days.  Make sure you drink a lot of fluids (no carbonated drinks please!), cut down on your salt and fatty foods.  This will help you be more comfortable awaiting your surgery.  Go get a manicure and pedicure so you look awesome in the recovery room!  And RELAX!!!!  Good luck!
