Experienced a Gall Bladder Attack - Has Anyone Else?

I have and it is very painful,I actually had to have surgery. You want to stay away from greasy foods and
spicy foods. And limit your dairy products.

Did you have an ultrasound done to see if you have gall stones?

I would avoid foods with a lot of fat. Like deep fried foods. I would start reading the labels of food to find out how much fat is in what you are eating. By the time my was removed i had lost 13 lbs in one week. I would say if you have this pain every time you eat and or throw up with every meal. It is time for it to come out for sure. But that is up to your doctor.

Hope this helps

Get the books PRESCRIPTION FOR NUTRIONAL HEALING AND PRESCRIPTION FOR DIETARY WELLNESS, both by Balch. There are SPECIFIC guidelines in there for gall bladder issues. VERY user friendly. It will tell you what nutrients you need, foods to eat, foods NOT to eat, herbs that help, etc.

T., I have had my gallbladder out due to the same problem however, I was not pregnant. I think they have you wait until your second trimester to have it out if it is really bothering you! It is hard to say what to eat. Doctors say to stick to a bland, low fat diet. It definitely should help but it can be hard to do-especially when pregnant! I know for me, sometimes dairy products would set it off too. However, when it comes time for you to do the surgery don't sweat it to much. It was alot easier than I thought it would be! In and out the same day. Some soreness after (incisions can be sore) and that was it! Back to normal life pretty quickly! Good Luck, C.

I actually had my gall bladder removed when I was 20. It indeed does hurt. All you can do is avoid any really greasy or oily foods. My doc told me to avoid anything that would be likely to give you intestinal cramps, such as greasy foods or foods high in oil. No beef, no chips, stay bland and you should be OK. No, fun, I know!

HI T. k l here l had the same pain as you but l wastn pregnancy. it got so bad that l had to get my gall Bladder taken out. and as for ateing food it may be different for you . for me l had to stay away for awhile from fatty foods, and ate small mounts. T. l hope this helps and l hope you feel better soon. D.

I'm sorry:( It's one of those things that happens quite frequently, especially after giving birth, and no one warns you about it. My friend had hers removed about 6 weeks after having her son.
I hope it's something you can take care of without surgery, but if not, you aren't alone!
Good Luck :)

I know you should not eat fried foods, nothing spicey,& no
greasy foods.

I was told to avoid all the fats, alcohol and pops. The gall bladder digest the fat, and is needed to work only when you eat fats. If you don't eat much fat, it doesn't have to work as much and therefore the stones aren't pushed through. Best of luck!

I am pretty sure greasy foods can trigger them. Perhaps high fat things. Losing weight fast can do it (me).
Mine went out about 6 weeks after I had my son. I couldn't predict when they would come and they ended up coming more and more often. Took 4 months to diagnosis it and removal was the best thing!
I hope you are able to keep it under control until after your pregnancy. I feel for you!

Hardee's did me in once, and I didn't eat it for about 3 years.
I think I did eat a lot of Ramen Noodles.

Fatty and spicy foods need to be avoided. I am in my 3rd pregancy and for the first time I had one a month and half ago. I was told to avoid those foods and drink lots of water if possible. I actually thought I was miscarrying because I was in that much pain. So I know exactly how you feel. Hopefully this will help you.
