Pregnant with Possible Gallbladder Problems- Elevated Liver Enzymes

Isn't HELLP Syndrome characterized by fatigue and a high liver enzyme count? I would definitely do some research and ask my OB about it. Here's a link: http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancycomplications/h...

My friend had HELLPs (undiagnosed) in her first pregnancy and it caused her to prematurely deliver (son didn't survive the day). For her second pregnancy, she was constantly monitored and delivered a healthy baby girl.

I don't mean to alarm you my suggesting HELLPs as a possibility. It probably isn't (I think it tends to manifest later in pregnancy), but it's something for you and your OB to discuss if you have the symptoms.

You need to go to a different doc,one who deals with insides, an internal physician or another one.

My sister had gallbladder issues when she was pregnant, she had had 3 babies stillborn so this last pregnancy was treated as if she was made of glass. She had a standing appointment every week. They would not touch the gallbladder issue. She had "A" on one day and her gallbladder issue poked it's ugly head up about a week later. She ended up in the hospital for 3 weeks, she refused blood transfusions based on her beliefs, she got down to 79 lbs, which they decided is how much her bones and skin/soft tissue weighed, and she nearly died numerous times. Her gallbladder was toxic to her system by that time and it was really bad. They took it out and it ruptured while being removed from her stomach area.

Please see a different kind of doc and find out what it is so you can be healthy and enjoy this pregnancy.

hello
I would say keep a VERY LOW fat diet.. when your gallbladder (and liver) as they work hand in hand is agitated, FAT is the worse...
drink lots of water (so vital to help your liver rid your body of waste and toxins) additionally, fiber is essential in helping to bind the body's waste and get it out of the system. with a compromised liver, you need to help it out with GOOD nutrition.. this means too cutting out any junkfood.. You can read up about all this on the net as there are many articles. first and foremost, get that water in and begin cleansing your body.. high liver enzymes are but a "symptom" of an underlying problem.. Could be in inherent but often, diet plays a major role.
best of luck

I am pregnant with my second and it's early on too. I was also recently diagnosed with gallbladder problems. I take a liquid, botanical supplement from my chiropractor that seems to be helping me so far! It's from a company called Premier Research Labs (based in Austin, TX) and it's called Gallbladder Nano-Detox. I'm in NY, so you couldn't see my chiro, but maybe google the company and see if there's a supplier near you? Good luck and congrats!
