A member asked:
Can a distended gall bladder cause swelling and make it hard to eat much and drink much?
A doctor has provided 1 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
