Could Distension And Pain In Abdomen Be Due To Problem In Gall Bladder?

I think I may have had a gallbladder attack. Just under my right breast my abdomen is quite extended. Sometimes when I bend over it feels like something gets stuck and there is alot of pain (9), lasts about 3-5 minutes. Well the other night for the 4th we had fatty BBQ ribs and mac salad. The next evening I felt nauseated and I went to throw up, I could not. The pain right under my breast was horrible (15). I would feel like I either had to throw up or like I was going to get diarrhea but neither came. The pain would subside for maybe 10 minutes and come back and last for about 15 mins. The pain started around 9pm and I went through the entire night like this. The next day I was exhausted. I did have a normal bowel movement that moning, slept on and off most of the day and again all night. can only eat bland foods ( gluten free waffle, toast, water. My stomach looks like I am pregnant its that bloated and still hurts on the right side. I am a 50 year old female, Caucasian, a few pounds overweight (10), i exercise, eat healthy food. Please help me. I just started taking 8oz.of water with teaspoon Braggs applecider vinegar and organic honey in it. I have been told by a few people who have had gallbladder problems that is corrected the problem and they did not need surgery. Thank You, Jacque

Hello,

First of all abdominal bloating along with pain can be due to different reasons like infection, obstruction, organ enlargement, inflammation. The symptoms might be suggesting issue related to gall bladder but an ultrasound is needed to see what is going on with internal organs.

A thorough physical examination by physician is advised. There is need of imaging to be done for better understanding along with some blood tests. Do not try to treat it at home with home remedies. Pay a visit to your doctor so that appropriate guidance can be given for pain management as well as the underlying cause.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
