Cholecystitis Support Group
Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder. It is commonly due to impaction (sticking) of a gallstone within the neck of the gall bladder, leading to inspissation of bile, bile stasis, and infection by gut organisms. Cholecystitis may be a cause of right upper quadrant pain. In severe cases, the gall bladder can rupture and form an abscess.
3 years of Nausea after gallbladder removal. Help!
deleted_user
I have had nausea 24/7, every single day, for almost 3 years now. Imagine feeling like you will vomit at any moment, never having one moment of relief. It all started when I got gallstones. They found them in October of 2010. The pain went away once they took out my gallbladder that same month, but the nausea got worse. The doctors dont understand it. I dont have any problems with my bowel movements like most post-op patients have after removing the gallbladder. I have seen 9 different types of doctors at least.
IMs, GIs, Allergists, Acupuncturists, ENT, Chinese Herbalists, Neurologists, etc. I have done all kinds of scans, blood tests, medicines, food allergy tests, upper endoscopy, CAT scan, MRIs of my head and abdomen, tried going weeks without diary or gluten, tried taking probiotics, tried taking digestive enzymes (the ones I tried made it worse), etc. I mostly just eat chicken and the occasional shrimp. I try not to eat much red meat. I eat pretty healthy. I dont eat fast food. I go out to eat at restaurants maybe once or twice a week and all my other meals I cook at home. I eat lots of veggies. I dont have processed foods in my house. I dont drink soda. I am a pretty healthy person. But the nausea just seems to be getting worse. For the past three weeks on top of it, Ive been getting back pain, some headaches, and occasional dizziness. My mother thinks I should see a nutritionist, but I don't know what they would do for me and they're not covered by my insurance company. I have already spent thousands of dollars and I don't want to waste any more money. I did try going a week eating nothing but the most plain food like chicken and rice sort of diet. No garlic, onions, spices, fats, oils, dairy, wheat, anything. It didn't help me and I think it actually made me feel worse. Im getting depressed in general because I dont have any relief from this nausea. I just cant take it anymore. Nobody seems to have this issue. Im desperate for some advice. Please help me.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
