It can caused by other gasterioenterial problems cause gall bladder problems and

my mother had those " many ulcers " then fourteen little gallbladder stones that

had to be removed along with her gall bladder (I took her x-rays, and then was

in her surgery. ,much better today) Then we learn she has h pylori on ulcers and

need to be treated with antibiotic treatment. As always, the right diet also:

At first they may block the duct and move away, causing only occasional pain

then gallbladder into the upper small intestine (duodenum) in response to food.

My point is yes medication may cause things but Doctors forget to do our vitamin

profiles, absorption profiles to include intrinsic factors and also hormonal

status such as the Thyroid Article below and I experienced a thyroid storm which

brought me close to death with high blood pressure and dysphygia (inability to

swallow) and I had a small benign behind the thyroid along with multiple nodules

my thyroid like a bubble wrap and my surgeon said my thyroid was stuck to the

side of my throat and scarred to it.

So, my point it, just as I have done is to forget to ask for my profiles that is

needed for my body to be immunically sound and recommend the items needed to

correct.

The pain can come from a stone making its way down the biliary duct or bile tube

toward the duodenum of the small intestine. It can also be caused by a back up

of bile in the gallbladder (with or without stones) that causes it to swell from

fullness causing discomfort. Or it can come from an infected gallbladder itself

that becomes inflamed known as cholecystitis.

That's what's happening in the moment. But the underlying causes of stone

forming or bile thickening or low-functioning gallbladder are important to

understand in order to heal the root of the problem.

Hypothyroidism is a major contributing cause to gallbladder disease of all

kinds. The thyroid is responsible for metabolism and when it is not working

optimally, metabolism in general slows down. Your digestion may be slower, the

bowels may be slower, gallbladder emptying may be slower, even thinking may be

slower.

Food allergies are also major contributors to gallbladder disease. They cause a

histamine release that can cause excessive fluid in the bile ducts, causing them

to back up. It is important to isolate those specific foods by eliminating them

and introducing them back in one at a time and watch for reactions, so that you

know just what is causing the problem. There is an entire page dedicated to just

this allergy sleuthing and one for hypothyroid as well which you will want to

peruse at your leisure.
