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.
On top of my list is gastric ulcer
