Question 1

i have a 30 percent func. gallbladder, could it cause me to feel like i am going to gag and get sick after eating?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: I suspect there is another cause of your symptoms. There are numerous possibilities from peptic ulcers disease to celiac disease to food allergies or others. A gallbladder without gallstones rarely causes symptoms and if it does it usually associated with a much lower gallbladder ejection fraction.

Question 2

what's the longest after eating for gallbladder pain to start?

Accepted Answer

No limit : There is no true limit on time.  If it is just begging on the disease- may be first attack - can happen with in couple hrs, however, as disease progresses pain can become more constant.  Fatty foods trigger it at first, later - any type of food may trigger the symptoms. If pain is bad, see a surgeon for further discussion.

Question 3

is it weird to get a gallbladder attack after  eating a banana?

Accepted Answer

Somewhat unusual: Typically a low fat food, like bananas, should help prevent gallbladder problems. It may be more related to reflux, gastritis or possibly signs of a duodenal ulcer. May be a food sensitivity as well. Probably best and easiest to avoid bananas if persistent problems with them.

Question 4

i feel very weak, tired and nauseous after eating. could it berelated to gallbladder?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Nausea after eating, especially fried or fatty foods, may be due to gall bladder disease. An ultrasound of the gall bladder should confirm or rule out gb disease.

Question 5

why do i feel bloated after eating and like my food doesn't digest correctly? gallbladder ejection frac. is only 15% is that y?

Accepted Answer

Could be: A low ejection fraction will make things uncomfortable especially with high fatty foods.

Question 6

pain under right ribs mainly after eating and drinking  had gallbladder test done all clear?

Accepted Answer

Just because an: Ultrasound was clear does not clear the gallbladder. Sometimes if it is very sluggish in emptying it will cause the same symptoms and the only cure is surgical removal . You look for it in a test called a HIDA scan. Best.

Question 7

can a gallbladder  working 7% not hurt but make stomach swell after eating drinking and takeing meds?

Accepted Answer

BILIARY DYSKINESIA: A poorly functioning gallbladder has an ejection fraction of 35% or less.  About 10% of the gallbladder patients i deal with don't have any gallstones.  Bd can cause nausea, bloating, heartburn, and RUQ and back pain.  I would discuss this with an experienced surgeon, who can help you decide the best course.  For now, i recommend a diet lower in fat.  Good luck.

Question 8

had my gallbladder removed 1 yr ago and am having trouble with diarreha after eating.  any ways to help prevent it with meds or naturally?

Accepted Answer

Diet: Try to avoid much fried, fatty, greasy foods. See your doctor about trying medication Questran (cholestyramine) to absorb excess bile.

Question 9

i had my gallbladder out 3 weeks ago i still have pain after eating and have nausea all the time. my drs can't figure out what's wrong. any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Consult surgeon: I would suggest a repeat surgical evaluation and liver function blood testing - certainly call your surgeon.

Question 10

pain after eating like i have swallowed a brick, pain right side under rib and into my back. severe belching gallbladder  was removed two years ago?

Accepted Answer

Gastroparesis?: This is a disease that is not understood well, but may have symtoms like this. It's when the stomach doesn't properly empty. Usually diagnosed based on symptoms, upper endoscopy, and nuclear medicine gastric emptying study. Hope this helps!
