Gallbladder maybe? Worried hmmm

Hi all I just dropped my son and husband off at the ER my son is 22 and has been super gassy, heaving up stomach acid, and throwing up off and on since this morning it comes and goes. I am suspecting gallbladder. He at some takeout Monday night and has been crappy since. Of course this has my OCD knocking on the door of my mental hamster wheel. Is anyone who can offer calming advice. Oh and PS I our 16yr old daughter had oral surgery today. Top 2 wisdoms out with anesthesia. So I am nursing on her as well.

Sorry Trudy! Sounds like a little food poisoning? Hopefully nothing major. Try to take some slow deep breaths and keep yourself busy.

You need rest, too. Take care of your things too.

Let us know.

I would definitely suspect the fast food---om goodness--you need to go walk off some stress---or at least run in place for a few minutes! then take some deep breaths--your daughter will be fine--but will want lots of pampering and spoiling--when your son gets home he will want the same-so make it a sick day for all and prepare some chicken soup and rice-some saltines-get some favorite movies--drag blankets into the lr and just take a break from it all today. (get snacks prepared first on a big try so you can relax too...pudding, jello? rice cakes? ginger ale and applesauce for all!!

Often, what happens when fast food is eaten, an existing stomach virus pops into high gear.

Hope your son recovers quickly.

Hope your daughter feels better soon.

Rest! Take care of you, too.

Sooo the ER jumped on the covid bandwagon. And put him on a 2 WK bedroom quarantine. They pretty much didn't pay the gallstone possibility any mind. All of his labs were excellent. And he had no temp. So now we wait for the covid results. I have a standing Tuesday appt via phone with my therapist. Needless to say I had to do an emergency session today

Hang in there. Yikes, two week bedroom quarantine is not going to be easy.

Remember to take time for you.

Thanks for the update Trudy.

So sorry he has to be on 2 week quarantine. I hope it goes by quickly for you both. I think they will get Covid results back soon, and hopefully that will put your mind at ease.

Focus on the positive - no temperature, excellent lab results, etc.

Take care of yourself too.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
