Gallstones Support Group
Gallstones (choleliths) are crystalline bodies formed within the body by accretion or concretion of normal or abnormal bile components. Risk factors for pigment stones include cirrhosis, biliary tract infections, and hereditary blood cell disorders, such as sickle cell anemia. Stones of mixed origin also occur.
I was under the impression that when you hve trouble with your gall bladder it was something other than stones. I've done research and all my research suggests that the "only" problem you can have with your gall bladder is stones. Anybody know anything about this?
Also, has anybody had any success with non-surgery treatments for their gall bladder? I would rather avoid surgery if at all possible.

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...
I do know that if your pain gets too bad you will want to have the gall bladder removed. It will be unbearable for you.
I had my gall bladder removed a few weeks ago.
Yes there are non surgical type treatments. You would need to go to the dr. and ask about them.
you could possibly alter your diet so that you dont have problems. It means not eating fatty greasy foods. For me it also meant giving up eating spicey foods as I would have after eating spicey food.
I dont know if the "only" problem you can have is gall stones, I have never researched this though.

I found this site maybe you could do a bit more research.
