Can i tell me how i can reduce pain whilst getting to hospital for gallstones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gallbladder: My advice is a low fat diet and lots of hydration until your gallbladder surgery is done. The stones passing out the gallbladder and down the delicate ducts is where the pain comes from. Fat forces the gallbladder to contract. Bile becomes thinner when well hydrated. If you develop fever or vomiting go to er right away. Be well.
