Gall bladder pain without stones?

[Guest guest]

I have been trying to figure out what is going on with me for months. I had a

gall bladder ultrasound that showed no stones so the doctor decided to check out

my stomach. He said I had gastritis but it was mild and should clear up.

I have had pain/pressure under my right rib cage since May 2008. It is more

discomfort than severe pain. I have always heard that a gall bladder attack

would be severe pain. Is this true? The pain is mostly under my rib but I can

feel stabbing around my right should blade at times. Can your gall bladder

cause pain even if you don't have stones?

What foods trigger an attack except the obvious fatty, fried foods? I do have a

small cup of coffee in the morning. I did a flush but am not really ready to

try one again. Are there small things I can do to help if this is indeed my

gall bladder?

Thanks,

Pain under your right rib cage and right shoulder blade are classic

symptoms of GB issues.

My understanding is that ultrasounds only show calcified stones.

They do not show cholesterol stones or " sludge " that build up in

gallbladders.

My ultrasound was negative as well, but I have passed many stones

since then that I am assuming are the cholesterol stones. They do

not look like the pictures that I have seen of calcified stones.

They look more like small chick peas.

Hope this helps...

Do you continue to have pain/discomfort? Mine seems to come and go but I have

been dealing with this episode since yesterday morning.

I only had one severe " attack " which was a couple of years ago. But

since then I get frequent mild discomfort in my lower back on the

right side if I eat certain foods.

I have not done any flushes in a long time as I am focusing on other

health issues right now. However, I am anxious to do some more

flushes to see if it helps my discomfort. I am also thinking about

trying the chanca piedra as well after I get some other issues

resolved.

I had been advised to not do different types of body cleansing

simultaneously. That may be too hard on you. For example, you

shouldn't be taking steps to cleanse liver/GB, colon, kidneys, heavy

metals, etc. all at the same time. This is probably good advice.

Right now I am focusing on heavy metals and candida.

,

It will probably come and go based on your diet, hormones, and stress

levels. But yeah, if you are vigilant you can avoid the doctor completely.

You really need to pay attention to your body and what you can or can't

tolerate well. And eat lots of healthy liver/gall bladder foods!

Evie,

I have been watching what I eat and have done one of the flushes when this

all started up. I took a tsp. of apple cider vinegar twice yesterday and I

feeling a lot better. Is this something that will probably come and go but

doesn't require doctor intervention? The doctor I saw said that he probably

wouldn't touch my gall bladder if it isn't giving me a lot of trouble and it

isn't at this point. It's just off and on and goes from mild to moderate

pain/pressure.

Have a blessed day!
