Does Gallbladder Disease Cause Abdominal Pain, Nausea, Vomiting And Diarrhea?
I ve been having sever upper abdomen pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, tender to the touch, fullness all the time and cant eat. I have had negative blood tests and ultra sound. I think its my gallbladder because its common in women in my family. The docs didn t want to do a cat scan because the tests they took were negative. I need answers though, I m so sick and losing weight.

Hi,
Your symptoms may be suggestive of gallbladder stones so you should do at least ultrasound or CT scan to evaluate it more accurately. This is caused by stone in bile duct and is very common condition.
Stones are see more commonly in obese people and those with diabetes. You need to change your dietary habits first.
Need to avoid fried food, carbonated drinks, coffee, alcohol and spicy food. You should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food.
If there is no improvement on lifestyle or dietary changes, then surgery is recommended.
Other causes include pancreatitis or pleurodynia and should be considered if gallbladder stones are ruled out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
