My husband and I went with some friends to a German restaurant. They took full advantage of the beer...2 days later, he was sick as a dog...diarehha and vomitting and his "burps" tasted like a chewed asprin he said...could this be a gall bladder attack? Anyone have any clues?

Gall bladder attack is most usually a strong pain on your right abdomen a few inches up and to the right of your belly button. It usually shows up in people about 50 years old or older who have a meal that is rich in fats (which make your body produce a lot of gall to digest that fat).

It sounds more like he ate some undercooked sausage and got food poisoning.

If so what kinds? He has a 2 ounce stomach cause he had Gastric bypass done he can not eat jello, yogurt, nutrition drinks, so what else would be the best thing I mean he needs a light diet so he won't have any attacks.

I had a compacted gallbladder(full of stones)is his?If so he needs to have it removed period..the gallbladder I was told filters all the fat and toxic stuff that goes through our body so ANY fatty foods will definitely cause an attack and they are so pain full,almost as bad as the worst contraction I had before I gave birth to my son ouch!!Maybe something like a drink called Insure it is kind of pricey but gives full vitamins that the body needs made especially for lactose intolerant most grocery stores sell them just ask.good luck!!Oh yeah by the way if you did have the gallbladder removed it is painless and quick they put you to sleep and now they can make a cut about the size of a quarter long and thin width wise too. I can barely see mine.If you do go on a diet remember no fatty foods and a liquid diet might just be the answer.for now

Put the ice in the rubber container and put it just a little below the sternum level,on the position of the Gall Bladder.The patient awaiting surgery must lie down straight.

Well, when I first went to the hospital, they thought I had an ectopic pregnancy, and it turned out to be a g.b. attack.
I had been having strange pains lately that resemble a gallbladder attack, but not quite.
I've been told that I'm at risk for an ectopic pregnancy, so I was just curious. I plan on going to the doctor soon just to make sure.

Gallbladder symptoms usually mimic a heart attack, and tend to affect overweight, middle aged women.

An ectopic pregnancy is very dangerous, and needs to be identified as soon as possible and surgically corrected.

You didn't say where your symptoms presented on your body.

I have been suffering from gall bladder problems for about 3 years now. When it first started happening, I didn't getting the vomiting so when I went to the ER because I seriously thought I was having a heart attack, the ER doctor said I had Pulisi (sorry, I can't spell that), inflammation of the chest lining. Of course the minute I lose my health insurance, the symptoms worsened and the vomiting began. I ended up going to a "free" clinic of sorts, where they ran tests and said I did have gall bladder stones, and it really should be removed, but there is no way without my insurance to have it done.
I have tried to keep it under control with diet. But I still get the flair ups about once a month or so. I can usually tell within about 5 minutes of eating something, if I'm going to have a flair up within that night.
Last night I put my fork down and said, tonight is going to be one of those nights. So we are wondering if there is anything that can help reduce the pain.

Hi Scare All

You need to educate yourself on how to detoxify yourself. CLeaning out toxins in the body is the key. Doing a colon, liver/gallbladder cleanse will heal your issues. Here is a link to explain further and email me if you need more feedback.

Best of health to you

Gallbladder attacks can be triggered by eating fatty foods such as chocolate, cheese or pastry.

The primary concern in the gallbladder diet is to avoid fats. Therefore, fatty or fried foods should be avoided. In addition, carbonated drinks and large meals are also discouraged.

The gallbladder diet focuses on lean meats, lowfat dairy products, and fruits and vegetables. Because fat cannot be digested normally, it is important to include plenty of fiber in the diet. A person with gallstones should add starchy foods to the diet, such as bread, to ensure adequate fiber consumption.

Essentially, the gallbladder diet follows a typical food pyramid, with vegetables, fruits, and grains making up the bulk of the diet, supplemented by lowfat dairy products and lean meats in moderation, and with fats and sweets relegated to "sparing" usage.

Supplementation with fish oil capsules has been recommended for gall bladder patients to ensure that they get sufficient amounts of the omega-3 and omega-6 essential oils. In addition, increasing use of the spices turmeric and ginger has been shown to aid digestion, so adding them to the spice cabinet and using them frequently is desirable

Hope this info helps!
