Had the same problem. Started taking 1000mg of Milk Thistle Extract daily. Have not had the pain since. Hope it helps. Hank
when i had my gallbladder taken the doctor told me to eat a very strick diet low fat for at least 6 weeks chicken rice fruits etc.. this gives ur body time to adjust gor not having a gallbladder. now iam back to eating normal with no problems hope this may help.
i had my gallbladder removed 7 yrs ago. last 4 yrs more pain! guess what they found ? more stones!
I used simple simethicone capsules to reduce gas and that helped a lot!! Kept them around everywhere, car, bedside, work... simethicone is also available as a liquid. 2 years after gallbladder removal I still need them on occasion :(
I'm so glad I've found this thread! I had a feeling my doc thought I was crazy complaining about gallbladder attacks 4 years after I had my gallbladder removed. No matter what I eat, and I don't eat fatty or spicy food for years now because all the stomach problems I had, as soon as 15 minutes later I'll start getting dull and persistent pain. And it's only worse at night when I don't even eat anything, like around 4am I get woken up by sharp stabbing pains. Could it be that gallstones have formed in my remaining bile ducts? IS there anything other than painkillers to try to stop this pain?
Drink warm/hot water when an attack comes. This seems to help me GREATLY. I too have these attacks after 9 years of having my gallbladder out! It's been SO long and still once a month get these attacks.. Feels like a heart attack! I stick my thumb way in that area and drink HOTTISH water.. helps!!
I found that anything with codein in it will triger an attack. If I stay away from that I am fine. Took a cough medicine with it in and had an attack and same with tylenol 3's
