Suggest Remedy For Abdominal Pain Post Gall Bladder Removal Surgery
Ten years ago, I had surgery for removal of my gall bladder due to gall stones and pain associated. Since then I occasionally have pain of the same nature prior to having my gall bladder removed. The onset of pain doesn't seem to be associated with anything in particular that I eat or drink, but mostly occurs in the morning after drinking coffee; or eating yogurt. The pain lasts all day, into early evening. Since I have no gall bladder, therefore it can't be a gall bladder attack, what is causing the pain? What suggestions do you have for me so that I won't have this problem going forward?

I would suggest an H pylori test first.since pain in that area may be due to gastric or duodenal ulcer.if positive i would suggest triple antibiotic plus proton pump inhibitors for H pylori eradication.if test is negative i would suggest ultrasound abdomen to look for large gall bladder stump left after surgery which sometimes gets inflamed and causes pain and look for stone in bileduct.
