Yantan Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 mate. I've had to have the doctor out in the middle of the night a couple of times for my gallstones but never experienced owt as bad as you. Since I switched to a low G.I diet for the diabetes 3 years ago I have not had one twinge from the gallstones. They had been talking about me having my gallbladder removed but my GP is very happy to leave things alone now the diet is controlling things. You need to keep to low fat foods, as others have already said, and you should find that helps heaps I have one friend who can suffers really badly with her gallstones but refuses to have surgery as the pain makes her watch her diet so carefully that she is stick thin Thinking of you and hoping you don't have any more episodes like that!

BeadyP Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Sounds scary.I too am glad its 'only' gall stones. I shouldnt give advice, but health problems scare me, so I would say, your heart doesn't seem to like your gall stones, so maybe sooner rather than later with the op?

Sarah_H Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Crikey Claire Glad its not your heart! My friend had gall stones and she is terrified of ops and hospitals, so she went to a chinese herbal therapist and was given some tea concoction to drink, smelt awful but she swears it worked as shes not had any more problems bor about a year!

Nettie Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Blimey Claz, glad its not your heart. A friend also had gallstones, took them ages to diagnose them, ended up having her gall bladder removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fee Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Crikey Claire, that must have been so scary. I'm glad it's not your heart but gallstones don't sound very nice even if not so serious, I hope they can be sorted out soon.

K9Fran Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Dunno if it helps, but I had gall stones about 10 years ago, and the pain was crippling. Managed on a low fat, low spicy food diet, and somehow they dissapeared (not sure I didn't 'pass' them, as there were some pains which were up there with childbirth) - never had to have an op at all.
