A member asked:

Can your gallbladder make your stomach swollen and bloated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Robert Uyeda answered

Yes, distention: is one of signs of gallbladder disease. But it usually causes post-prandial pain. I would look to other causes of your symptoms. Ask your doctor for specific advice.
