Pain In The Ribs, Headache And Vomiting. Gall Bladder Removed. Is It Normal After Surgery?

Yellow Stools, Under Right Rib Pain, i had my gallbladder remove a year ago and now i have this problem, is not all the time, i think is when i eat to greasy food. I have a little esophagus hernia, gastritis and reflux and usually when i have the symptoms above i usually vomit like acid fluid and get a headache. At the ER the took an X ray of the area and found nothing. Still want to know if this is normal after the gallbladder surgery and it is go away?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your query.
It can be normal as a part of postcholecystectomy syndrome which is sometimes found after such surgeries. SOmetime more than a year should pass till your digestion stabilize again. YOu should have more frequent but smaller meals and avoid alcohol, fats and smoking. ALso follow some of the hepatoprotective diets and check frequently your liver enzymes. This can also be gastritis so it doesnt need to be related to gallbladder removal. WIsh you good health.
