Question: I have dull pain in the center of my abdomen for two weeks. I have confirmed gallstones through an ultrasound, but my follow up appointment isn't for another week. I also have a history of cdiff and peptic ulcers. I have diareahha after I eat anything and dull pain in the center of my abdomen, two inches above my belly button for at least an hour after eating. Should I go to the ER or wait for my follow up appointment? Do you think this is something more then gallstone related?

Thank you for your response. To answer you questions:
1) I had the ultrasound this past Thursday. My follow up doc appointment with my GI doc isn't for another 10 days so no, I haven't discussed any treatment options with my doctor yet and haven't yet consulted with a surgeon.
2) I had cdiff 3 years ago. I don't think it's cdiff related. I haven't been on antibiotics for over 3 years and I'm not showing cdiff symptoms.
3) the pain I feel immediately after eating does feel similar to peptic ulcers. However it does go away when I take anacids. The pain is located in the same area though right above my belly button and below my sturnom.

Since I sent my initial inquiry the pain has lessened slightly however I still feel it after I eat. I then have diareahha in the hours following a meal and can literally feel food moving through my body. I have been trying to avoid all fatty foods. I also forgot to mention I'm 4 months post partum.

So my question now A) if this is gallbladder related, what can I do to ease immediate pain? B) should I seek immediate medical attention (ER) if the pain continues? C) could it be something aside from gallbladder given my medical history with stomach issues? D) how long can I wait to seek medical attention given the dull burning constant pain after I eat?

I want to avoid the ER and surgery if possible. Thank you

I meant to say the pain doesNOT go away after taking antacids. I also feel a pressing need to go to the bath room and have been very gassy.

One more question, would I have this sudden onset of pain with gallstones? The ultrasound tech said she didn't see signs that I passed a stone nor was it lodged anywhere. So why would the stone be giving me this type of pain that set in so quickly (within the past two weeks with no prior symptoms)? One other piece of info, last Tuesday, three days after I felt the initial pain, I was in so much pain I threw up but then felt a little better. Could I have passed a stone then but they couldn't see it on my ultrasound?
