What Are The Symptoms Of Gall Bladder Dysfunction?

Answer Question

8 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    One of the symptoms of the disease is that a patient vomits for no obvious reason after eating, in which case they need to consult a doctor and have ultrasound to find out if they have gallstones or if the problem is with their gall bladder itself. Sometimes it can be difficult to distinguish the pain from other diseases, such as: gastric ulcer, back problems, heart pains, pneumonia and kidney stones.

    General symptoms of gallstone disease include upper or lower abdomen pain, vomiting, nausea, low grade fever, pain after eating fattening or greasing foods, diarrhea and lower or upper back pain. A gallbladder patient on eating something greasy can feel extreme pain in the stomach or burning sensation. Another symptom is upper abdomen pain that may extend to the back.

    In most cases symptoms of gallstones do not occur gradually and surface in the form of an "attack". Gallstone attacks often occur after fatty meals and during the night. They may last from 30 minutes to several hours.
    There are people who have gallstones but have no symptoms. These people are called asymptomatic and such gallstones are called "silent stones." These stones are trouble-free and do not interfere in gallbladder, liver, or pancreas function. Therefore they do not require treatment

        When I am very tense or have eaten fatty food, I sometimes feel my insides squeezing similar to wringing out laundry.  I then have diarrhea, first have what feels like water enter my mouth and eventually vomit.  
        More recently, after eating fatty food, I have had a sharp pain that feels as if it rubbing on my lower ribs in my chest and back,  nausea and vomiting.
        I often suffer from nausea and bloating.

          I have been having problems and the doctors said it is not my gall bladder but all of the symptoms lead up to that i have had 2 ultra sounds and a hida scan done all come back normal my i am still having my symptoms as the gall bladder sys are.i just say an gast doctor he thinks that i my an ibs irrirable bowel syndrome but i don't think so before i had one ultrasound done my regular family doctor said i looked like my may had passed an gallstone then i was sent to an surgeon he looked at the ultrasound and said no that  the levels for gall stones was around 10 my levels was 6. So you think that it still could be my gallbladder but just not showing up in the ultrasound. My sys are
          tender rib cage , nausea. Diarrhea, some constipation,pain under the rib case around the under the breast,on my side and sever back pain around the shoulder bladers and under my shoulders and the pains hurts after i eat and sometimes lasts for most of the day until i take something for pain.

          I am a 60 year old women and my stomach swells so i look 9 month's pregnant and it feels so tight that it is going to burst and when i eat it feels raw down my esophagus tube. I feel very tired and get contraction pains in my bowel they are severe with either explosive diarrhea or stringy bowel movements i also feel very headache and the sweat pours of my face and drops everywhere. I have just had an ultra sound and was told that my gall bladder is enlarged but there is now stones could these be the symptoms of this enlargement. I had a hysterectomy 20 years ago and my ovaries are ok.
