What Cases Nausea When Suffering From Gall Stones And Celiac Disease?
Gall stones and celiac in my 13yr old daughter my daughter is 13 yr old, has celiac and 1 yr gluten free, now constant nausea feeling(6wks and going), and small gallstones found 2 days ago through ultrasound. Absent of other symptoms, sick kids hospital not conviced sick feeling is from the gallbladder. Recently found the connection between celiac and gallbladder so am convinced that the stones are what s keeping her ill...ill after all foods, but more so after fatty foods. Does that sound like a reasonalbe assumption? But Why would they attack a year after being gluten free? and can they be broken up because they are small, without removing gallbladder?

gall bladder problems seem to related to fatty food and you need more enzymes secreted from bile to digest fats and in presence of gall stones, bile pathway is compromised and so pain manifests. It has nothing to do with gluten free as long as gall stones remain there. Get gastroenterolgist opinion regarding stone removal opinions.
