Question 2

i also have a bad gall bladder?

Accepted Answer

Give it a time out: OUTSIDE YOUR BODY.  
Sounds like time for a Laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Consult a general surgeon or your GP for referral

Question 3

what is a distended gall bladder?

Accepted Answer

Full: A gallbladder can become distended or full due to multiple gallstones or from gallstones blocking the gallbladder from emptying its bile fluid contents. Also the gallbladder can become distended or full with bile in someone who has been not eating or fasting a longer time.

Question 4

how do i knw if my gall bladder is bad?

Accepted Answer

GB : Right upper quadrant pain, usually after eating fatty foods. The best test for this is an ultrasound of your gallbladder.

Question 5

what are the symtoms of a bad gall bladder?

Accepted Answer

Generally: Right upper quadrant post prandial abdominal pain with radiation to tip of right scapula with nausea and vomiting that lasts up to 6-8  hours.  But these are typical symptoms, and symptoms vary from one person to another.

Question 6

what is the cause of a distended gall bladder?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Your gallbladder will be distended when you are not eating.  It fills with bile and then, when you eat, it empties.  This is not a problem.  It is normal physiology.  The problem happens when your gb is obstructed by a stone or inflammation and cannot empty.  This can lead to infection and severe pain, fevers, etc.  If you have no stones on ultrasound you may need a hida to see how ur gb empties.

Question 7

help please! could distended gall bladder be cured?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is nothing to worry about.  Usually in a fasting state the gallbladder gets distended.  When you eat the gallbladder is stimulated and contracts and is no longer distended.  If there is a stone blocking the emptying of the gallbladder than you need to surgically remove it.

Question 8

i have no appetite and i'm losing a lot  of weight. is it from my bad gall bladder?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss: Is of concern. Would suggest workup for your symptoms. You had an IVC filter placed in also likely for DVT. While your gallbladder still might be part of the problem, weight loss is not typically part of benign gallbladder pathology. Have your main doc coordinate with specialists.

Question 9

can a distended gall bladder cause swelling and make it hard to eat much and drink much?

Accepted Answer

A distended: gallbladder is caused by a stone blocking the outlet. So, eating fatty foods at this time may cause more discomfort than you necessarily would want. I would suggest seeking a PCP opinion and possibly getting referred to a surgeon for removal. Good Luck

Question 10

i i have no gall bladder but i have really bad stomach pains. what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

MULTIPLE CHOICE: You haven't given enough information at this point, so let's take a broad approach.  There are multiple possibilities for abdominal pain.  These include ulcer, gastritis, small or large bowel inflammatory diseases, kidney disorders or infection, or pelvic diseases.  You should monitor what causes the pain, when and whee it occurs, etc.  Then, have an evaluation by your primary doctor.  Good luck.
