Can Smoking Cause Gall Bladder Pain?

Just Wondering If That Was True Or False....I Do Have Alot Of Gall Bladder Problems And I Do Smoke....

I don't think so,
I had gallstones and weed didn't affect it at all (except make it slightly less painful.)

Hi, I have the same question.? I have intermittent pain under right rib that sometimes radiates to the side & back area. Sometimes theres burning in the back. I am scared that it may be lung related as I have to wait for months here in canada to see a specialist. Anyway I am trying to quit because we all know smoking is not good for us......smoking weed would be different that smoking a cigarette as it actually has known medicinal qualities. I am going to try to smoke as little as possible & go on a Gallbladder Disorder Diet that i found online, & see if that makes any difference to prove or disprove that my symptoms are gallbladder related.

Hi, my doctor thinks I have gallstones. I have been having attacks for the past 8 months(not knowing what it was) I had an ultrasound today and will find out in 7 days what is really going on. I find that smoking during an attack does slightly increase the pain, but my doctor hasn't said anything to me about this issue. I am trying not to smoke as much but it is extremely hard.

Hi,

I just wanted to tell you that my doc said smoking does exacerbate symptoms, especially if you're getting acid reflux with your gall bladder issues as I have had. There is a sphincter type opening at the bottom of your esophagus and smoking causing relaxation of it, which allows acid from your tummy to flow up more freely causing pain in the gut and sternum area. When I quit smoking, my symptoms weren't so bad. I had my gall bladder removed yesterday because of an ejection fraction of 2%.

All i can tell you is i was a cig smoker from 17 yrs old to 42 yrs old. I quit 5 months,18 days,12 hours and 36 minutes ago, with the help of Chantix . I never thought i could ever quit, but Chantix made it possible for me.
BUT ..... ever since i have quit , i have had IBS, constant diarrhea, and now have an enlarged liver and a polyp on my gallbladder. My tummy was fine while i was still smoking. Connection , coincidence ?

So when are you allowed to start smoking after surgery?
because im dying here, crazy mood swings
but i dont wanna die of compilcations
i just keep myself busy and try to think and find different things things to do
im not even suppose to be moving around too much

i had my gall bladder removed when i was 16 ( gall bladder problems run in the family yay fo me lol). I quit smoking almost 2 weeks ago and i have found it not 2 make a diff in pain or acid reflex at all. When i was quiting the best thing i found 2 do when i got a craving was
2 walk around the block a couple of times (not recommended if u have just had surgery), or sit down and play a video game or watch a
movie 2 take ur mind off of the cravings. I recommend not using the gum or any patches the dont work they just make the cravings worse
use chantix it helped me and it worked fast, hope i was of help
