What Causes Excessive Weight Loss While Suffering From Gall Bladder Dysfunction?

I ve been having severe gall bladder problems for 6 yrs, I lost 170 lbs over it and it s getting worse and my drs have been in no hurry to help me get it out! Not stones, not the overly thickened walls, but makes me sicker than a dog whenever I eat. How do I get this moving?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello Dear. You might be having cholecystitis that is inflammation of gall bladder. The first episode of gallbladder inflammation without gallstones is often treated with antibiotics and pain medications. If you have multiple episodes, your doctor may recommend surgery.

Sometimes surgery to remove the gallbladder is your best option. It can be done either by opening your abdomen, or laproscopically.

So kindly discuss this option with your doctor.

you should eat foods high in fiber and healthy fats to help prevent gallstones. Refined grains (found in sugary cereals and white rice, bread, and pasta) and sugar are associated with a higher risk of gallbladder disease. Whole grains like brown rice and whole wheat bread and olive oil are all recommended.

Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
