Question 1

does gall bladder stones cause stomach pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes, epigastric pain: The most common pain due to gallbladder disease is epigastric, usually associated also with RUQ pain. However, it can stand alone as the only symptom. Other causes of epigastric pain are ulcer disease, gastritis and gerd.

Question 2

what foods aggravate stomach ulcers and/or gall bladder problems?

Accepted Answer

Different ones: Stomach ulcer symptoms are made worse by lack of food in the stomach & made worse with alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, etc. Often eating some food improves ulcer symptoms. Opposite in gallbladder conditon, as eating fried, fatty & greasy foods causes gallbladder symptoms to get worse.

Question 3

57 year old female has gastric problems and previous gall bladder problems. stomach has gas and she burps a lot.

Accepted Answer

Gaseous: Is your gall bladder removed? To prevent gas build up, take simethicone 1/2 hours after meals. To break down gas bubbles, drink warm water and apply a hot water bottle to the abdomen which facilitates the moving of gas through the intestines rather than forcing yourself to belch it up as this causes more air swallowing.  Perhaps an evaluation by a gastroenterologist is your best course of action.

Question 4

after an operation of stone in gall bladder, he is having severe stomach pain and indigestion problem in3weeks. what can be done to help recover?

Accepted Answer

Go back to surgeon: It is not uncommon to have some mild indigestion and fatty-food intolerance+/-diarrhea for a few weeks after gallbladder surgery. However, severe pain is concerning and warrants evaluation sooner rather than later.  Although rare, complications can occur after this operation that can cause severe pain. Furthermore, a stone may be in the bile duct, which can feel just like a gallbladder attack.

Question 5

will a ct scan show gallstones/ other gall bladder problems as well as stomach ulcers? what about a urine and blood test?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: Ct is fairly good at evaluating the gallbladder for stones or infection/inflammation. It is poor at evaluating the stomach for ulcers. This typically requires an upper endoscopy.

Question 6

what causes severe stomach pain, yellow stool with white fat globules, nausea, and vomiting if appendix and gall bladder have been removed?

Accepted Answer

Several things: Symptoms and concerns like these mandate a thorough evaluation by your doctor.  Only after such an evaluation, which may include labs and radiographic examinations, can he/she let you know what's going on and how best to help you.

Question 7

stomach pain and burning, pain on right side of stomach already had gall bladder test it came out ok. this is driving me crazy help?

Accepted Answer

Depends: What test did you have? If it was an ultrasound that may not be enough. That shows anatomy (stones, polyps, cancer etc). You may need a function study called a hida scan with cck injection.  Keep looking. Other stuff may be wrong as well. Don't give up.

Question 8
