Diet control: Gallstones can cause crampy pain, called biliary colic, when the gallbladder is asked to contract, usually after eating fatty meals. You may find that a bland low fat diet may help in reducing the frequency and severity of colic. However, if you have persistent pain, fever, nausea with vomiting - go to the er. In some cases, a impacted gallstone can cause gallbladder necrosis.
