I had my gull bladder removed in June. Since then I have had trouble eating, I get a pain in the upper stomach area below rib cage, I sometimes feel like if you would stick a knife in me and release air I would feel better. sometimes this pain gets so bad I want to go days without food to avoid the pain.If you can tell me what I could do. I have been reading and I think that my symtoms sound like dyspepsia but I don t know what to do about it

hi and welcome to healthcare magic.....
this type of dyspepsia is common after gall bladder surgery .....and usually difficult to treat.....
and in many cases it passed away by itself with time.....
the recommended treatment is omeprazole 40 mg OD before meal and tab itopride 50 mg Three times aday before meal...this treatment should be taken for 3 months.....
hope you will be better soon....
