Could The Pain In The Upper Quadrant Be Due To Lack Of Gall Bladder?
I had a cholecystectomy in early 2009 and gradually post the procedure have experienced upper right quandrant pain after consuming alcohol, spicy and hot (pepper) foods. Alcohol (more than 1 drink) makes me nauseous and causes me to vomit at night and leaves me with a painful right side. Is this due to lack of a gall bladder

Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist.
Pain in right upper quadrant aggravated by alcohol, spicy food can be due to acid peptic disease. For which I will advise you to take a proton pump inhibitor like rabeprazole along with a prokinetic agent like domepridone.
It can't be due to gallbladder as it has been removed
I hope I have answered your query and this will help you . Wish you a good health
