Gallstones / Gallbladder Attack Symptoms & Treatment

James E. Harris Jr., M.D., Johns Hopkins general surgeon practicing at Howard County General Hospital, explains what the gallbladder is, the symptoms of gallstones and gallbladder attacks, and the surgical treatment.
For more information about general surgery at Howard County General Hospital, a member of Johns Hopkins Medicine, please visit www.hcgh.org/ge....
In June 2023, the hospital was renamed Johns Hopkins Howard County Medical Center.

[@BottomleyAdventures]

Dr. Harris left out an important detail- the gallbladder doesn't just store bile, it also concentrates it to make it more effective. The common bile duct does not do this. Even though most doctors are unaware of it (ours was not aware), you absolutely CAN dissolve cholesterol gallstones naturally (I have), and keep your gallbladder as long as you don't have a medical emergency that drives you to a cholecystectomy, such as a stone stuck long term in your cystic duct or common bile duct (which could cause cholecystitis or choledocholithiasis). Acording to a WSES study, only 15% of those with biliary cholic, if left untreated, go on to develop cholecystitis. If you have biliary cholic (and not cholecystitis) that should be a warning sign to stop what you're doing and dissolve your gallstones (not necessarily remove the gallbladder if it's still fine). Supplements such as TUDCA (which is over the counter but has similar efficacy to the prescription UDCA / Ursodiol that gastroenterologists use to dissolve gallstones), Rowachol, Chanca Piedra, Lecithin, Turmeric, Milk Thistle, Cod Liver Oil and drinking lots of water, will all work in conjunction to thin and increase bile flow, thus dissolving gallstones over time, while you eat a bland low-fat diet to keep your gallbladder from contracting, so that you don't trigger biliary cholic. The process can take many months depending on your stones. There are many studies in Pubmed which demonstrate the efficacy of those supplements. Do your own research. Make your own decisions. It's also helpful if you own an ultrasound machine so you can keep an eye on the stones and their progress. While you can live without your gallbladder, it's far from ideal as you will have poor fat absorption and thus poor absorption of vitamins such as A D E and K, without taking bile salts to help, not to mention the ~$20k cost for the surgery...

I had gallbladder issues for over a year. For reasons not relating to this, I started taking fairly large amounts of vitamin B. Shortly thereafter my gallbladder stopped acting up. Can it be that the liver works better with lots of vitamin B? Which then helps the bile to get stronger, and dissolve the stones? It sure worked for me. Any studies on this? I think the gallbladder is a very important organ, that should not be removed, unless it threatens your life. I felt like crap when mine did not work properly. It is very hard for the body to take up fat soluble vitamins without a functioning gallbladder, and that can lead to serious conditions, because of malnutrition. I hope this was helpful for somebody out there! Try high doses of vitamin B, but keep it within reason!

@@teymyneytor Thanks. I'll look into it. I've had this problem over 2 years. I take pain meds when it gets unbearable. But the good news is that after numerous extreme pain episodes they seem to be lessening. The Gastrologist I saw admitted that I probably passed some stones. So let it be known if you can make it thru the pain with a few pain meds you can pass stones and perhaps resolve the problem and keep your gall bladder. Of course this may not work with larger stones. They said mine were a whole string of small ones. A sonogram can detect the size of the stones. Or a MRI. A CT scan however is a dangerous procedure exposing you to high levels of radiation. Could lead to cancer. Hope this info helps someone!

Yeah. It’s bad. It basically doubles you over. You can’t do anything except sit with a heating pad (pain meds if in hospital) until it goes away which usually takes 8-12 hours. I take a sleeping pill and sleep through it. Just happened yesterday 😢 I’ve recently discovered digestive enzymes specifically the ones from Whole Foods work amazing juto eat a low-fat diet. Take these with every meal and you should have less attacks. Exercise is also key and skins of apples. What else? Lots of water no soda not too much sugary stuff too. It gets stored into fat and then go to get a lipid panel. A full lipid panel also a full blood test this will let you know if the not absorbing fat or over absorbing fat or whatever problem you have with your gallstones or gallbladder is preventing certain vitamins to not be absorbed, for instance have a vitamin D deficiency Directly related to gallbladder problems-even though my doctor said it’s not, but I’ve been doing a lot of research and how can it not be because I don’t eat a lot of fat because I can’t the smallest amount of fat makes me have an attack spicy food be aware so I basically became a pescatarian focused a lot on Whole Foods. Dark leafy greens all the vegetables, salmon, low res diet on iffy days, fruits (berries) whole grains and fiber, low fat yogurt, soy milk…etc. take a probiotic and digestive enzymes along with a peppermint tummy tamer.

[@alm1443]

Can one of the doctors please tell me why you cannot surgically remove the gallstones but leave the Gallbladder in place? It seems that Gallbladder removal can cause all kinds of issues including bowel cancer. My mother had IBS after gallbaldder removal and leter in life developed bowel cancer which killed her. The explanation I was given as to why they don't surgically remove just the stones was that they would return. However, in older people in their middle age or above, if it's taken over 50+ yrs to develop them, then the chances of them redeveloping before they die again seems unlikely in most cases especially if they developed in part because of a poor fatty diet which is then modified for a healthier diet later. So why can't just the stones be removed if the patient is middle aged or above? It seems ludicris that surgeons remove the whole gall bladder with the risks of IBS / Bowel cancer etc when a simple removal of the stones would be likely to offer a lifetime cure. BTW I'm talking about stones here that are too large for ultrasound or dissolution treatments.

I get maybe, 1 attack a year, due to fatty foods that I should avoid. Cream cheese, butter, are the culprits. . In three years I had two gallstone attacks.

The pain is much less, and goes away after 2 painful hours. I drink one cup of caffeinated coffee in the morning, for me, the caffein helps my gallbladder from attacks. There's a medication called Ursodiol, that shrinks certain stones, however, my doctor doesn't want me to take this medication, he wants me to remove my gallbladder, I told him to Foff. Even with your gallbladder removed, you could still have pain, from bile leakage. If you have pain on a regular basis, then go ahead and remove your gallbladder.

So that's a less worrying thing. But since than my body had developed hernia...but the biggest problem is I'm an older daddy and have a toddler whom need cuddles and picking up.!

Dang...just came back from Doc and they suspect gallstone or gallbladder issues. Had severe pain last week that was on par with the kidney stone i had about 6 years ago. Last week i was throwing up and had to go to emerge. Then a few day later again but i just tuffed it out and it subsided in about 30 mins. First one lasted a couple hours ffs.

How much does a surgeon get paid for gallbladder surgery?

[@deathbycake7637]

I have rheumatoid arthritis and has several surgies including hernia and staging for my ovarian cancer hell, I even had chemo (worse thing on chemo wasn't the nausea but feeling of UTI that wasn't going away) and the gallstone attack is by far the worse ever mix that with gastritis and that's the pain that sent me to the er 5x within a matter of 5 months. I've had kidney stones and nothing like the pain from gallstones. It's like someone poured acid on an open wound in my stomach That could be gastritis or an ulcer. Anyway, I'm getting my gallbladder removed on 6/27/22.

I've had gall attacks for years. It started getting worse in 2017 when I was pregnant with my 3rd. Oct 2019 I found out I had a 3cm stone that was free rolling around in there. Just 1 stone. I need surgery but don't have the money for it. We have to pay our deductible which 5k. I've suffered pretty much daily with pain. This thing has to be closing in on 4cm now. Idk what else I can do.

Move out of USA!!!

[@100samanthamarie]

Go to Canada or Mexico for the surgery. Super cheap. You can make a vacation out of it. Surgery and post-op vacation. Buen viaje! Or you can just do a payment plan to pay the 5K and but talk to them beforehand. You can also write your insurance company a letter asking for coverage for it. You can also ask an experienced insurance rep from your health carrier to help you find a health insurance company that will cover the surgery. You pick a new doctor. Ask the rep if you need a referral to see a specialist. You see that doctor if you need a referral first, then show him the proof that you have a stone or see a specialist to confirm you need surgery. I had to do this for my breathing problems and my heart and back problems. Good luck. Cuidate

I dont understand all this talk of "deep pain or dull pain" what seems to happen to me. I'm fine 1 min them I feel a slight pain in my chest. It starts out like a pretty moderate case of heartburn. I can feel it in my back if its going to escalate from there. I can pin point a spot in my back it feels like a spike has been driven in. Then pain goes up to about "middle of the night leg cramp level" as it get worse it will go all the way up to feeling like I have a kidney stone in my heart. Rolling around in the floor pain. 1st time it was followed by throwing up blood and blacking out. Hospitalized for a week. Tests ran hourly it seemed like. Then it got better for a few years. Now it has all came back and I cant understand why no one will remove it.

People please do your homework BEFORE the surgeons talk you into something you might regret for the rest of your life! Seems ALL doctors love to pul gallbladders and they will tell you any lie to get your permission. "You don't need it" "You'll never miss it" "Once it's out you can eat anything" Not at all truthful. Of the 750,000 gallbladder surgeries annually, 40% of patients will have HORRIFIC side effects termed "PCS" no matter the skill of the surgeon. 2 seconds to find a toilet diarrhea only controlled by taking a statin with each meal (trading one malady for another), low thyroid leading to weight gain and depression, NO beef, lamb, pork, no dairy, no eggs, no pies/cakes/pastries, no seasoned foods, no coffee/tea/soft drinks, only salad dressing allowed is a tbsp of olive oil. Inability to absorb vitamins A/D/E/K/K2 along with magnisium. Incresed risk of liver/pancreas/kidney cancer. The list goes on and your symptoms are for LIFE (or they could start years later and be misdiagnosed). Do your own research and educate yourself before it's too late.
