Is age a factor in gallbladder attacks?

kosmo0905

My daughter is 14 and has all the symptoms of a gallbladder attack. Nausea, vomiting, pain under right rib, stomach pain, burping. She has been ruled out of UTI, mono and strep?? Her primary care is having us set up and ultrasound and HIDA scan this next week. Is it abnormal for a 14 year old to have these symptoms?

Thank you for your suggestion. We had the ultrasound and HIDAscan done today, and her gallbladder is functioning at 13%. Surgery on Tuesday. Thanks again.

It's abnormal for anyone at any age to have the symptoms, but age - old or young - is no barrier to having gallbladder (or GI) issues. Make sure the HIDA scan is done with a CCK injection.
