What Causes Recurring Gallbladder Attacks?

I am 24 years old and have gallstones, i have been eating so well but i am getting the attacks more often and for longer!! I get them acouple of times a week, sometimes i dont even eat before i get an attack!
Last night i had an attack and it was one of the worst ones that i have had, i was spewing from the pain that i was in, then today i have had a continues pain all day on both sides of my ribs. I have not been up to the hospital because i have to kids so i cant really get up there without mucking them around, do you think i should go up there???

Symptomatic management with antibiotic is mainstay of treatment for acute attack ..

Meanwhile take low fatty food...

Heavy meal restricted ....

As you have symptomatic gall stone , you needs an gall bladder removal....

Until operation done you can take udiliv tablet ...

Take care
