I don’t know how many people are on this group any longer but I wanted to say this sounds painful. I had my gallbladder removed in 2008 and am now having undiagnosed as yet pain in that area. Waiting on a specialized MRI but found a good gastro finally. I might suggest you try to avoid all fat and see what happens. No fried foods, no oil or butter. Yep, it’s boring diet but see if that helps. The gallbladder puts out bile according to what needs digesting. People without a gallbladder have issues with fat consumption- it makes one dump, you can look it up. So I’m wondering if a no fat diet might relieve your pain. Another option is a caster oil pack at night - read up on Edgar Casey’s caster oil packs. Has helped my pain. Wishing you the best!

Hi ruthgrps, I'm sorry to hear that you have gallstones and suffer from painful attacks. I would just like to chime in to say that one of the often overlooked possible causes of gallstones is the presence of liver flukes, parasites that colonize the liver and obstruct bile ducts, as described here: https://cilantronews.com/symptoms-liver-flukes-humans/ . You can take supplements like omega-3 fatty acids in the form of flaxseed oil, berberine-hcl, or turmeric root powder to get rid of them.
