Since having my gall bladder remove mine has got worse.
Any of you suffer and what do you do to stop the awful pain?

Watch your diet my mum found that fruit made it worse.
If it keeps happening get a doctor to check you out

How long since you have had the operation?

My daughter has had the same trouble, I wonder if it is that the scar tissue has stuck together. Just a thought but tell your doctor and ask to see the consultant. Elaine.

It was removed at Xmas.

Morning Julia,

Hope you are keeping well.

Lots of food i am fining hard to digest,bloating,cramps generally feeling yuck ~Doctor give some meds when i was told that it was I.B.S. ~ but since my G.B. removel its seems to have got worse.

hi liz sorry you are having problems, scar tissue can cause horrendous pain especially if it has attached it self to other organs these can be sliced but can only lead to mre growing again, i had this after a secon c section its left me with a period type cramping pain that is there most days after 19 yrs ive just got used to it lol hope yopu get something sorted xxxxx

Morning Lizz. This is not an easy one. I had my GB removed about 2 years ago, and have still suffered as much, since then. I have regular bouts of excruciating pain, have to call the Paramedics, who sometimes give me Morphine because the pain is so bad, but even they are getting fed up with this, then I go in hospital for a few days until the pain has gone down, with more intravenous Morphine. IBS has been suggested several times and been rejected. Then Chronic Pancreatitis, until blood tests have also ruled that out. Present diagnosis is in limbo, with even the GB Consultant saying he thinks he may have taken out the wrong thing, this having been done by keyhole surgery.
I have my own stocks of Oramorph at home, and recently went onto Morphine patches from my own GP, which you wear all the time. Yesterday was particularly bad, and to stop another hospitalisation, I had a 5ml dose of Oramorph. The pain went eventually, but I felt grog all day. If it had got worse, I would have had to call the Paramedics.
I think the moral of the story is, you have to keep going back, until you get a course of medication that 'does it' for you.
There is no quick fix with this, I am afraid.
