A member asked:
I have gallstones and chronic gallbladder disease because i dont want my gallbladder removed. why do gallbladder attacks always cause excessive gas ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spasm: biliary colic causes flatulence and delaying surgery will ultimately lead to emergency surgery or death: I suggest removing the gallbladder: new laparoscopic surgery will have you home in 1 day; however, if you wait, you could be looking at a hospital stay of 1-2 weeks if your gb ruptures
