Week 21 post Inc ~ Gall Bladder problems
Hey Warriors, I was just wondering if anyone else has had any gall bladder symptoms during TX . I am at week 21 with Peg post Inc with only 3 more weeks to go, but I am having some problems with keeping food down and vomiting. My back is in alot of pain and radiates with spasms along with my upper digestive tract. Already had a EDG done last week which came back good, and had a ultra sound done today on Gall bladder. No info yet. Has any body had any problems and what symptoms have you had if you did ?
My husband has also had GB problems. He started tx Sept 2011 but he had some stones prior to tx. But I think the 20gm of fat with each meal has aggravated his. He has frequent morning n/v/d. He states his "stomach hurts" and points to his mid substernal area. I'm also getting concerned about his pancreas now because I know he has multiple stones, lots of nasty belching, etc. Doc is going to put him on antibiotics prophylactically. I would like for him to have surgery, but fear it's not the right time. Anyway, had a ca scare couple of weeks ago and doc made "funny" comment about no mary jane because he may have to pursue a transplant. But honestly, he gets the most relief from that than any prescriptions and it seems to tone down the gb.
I had gall bladder problems with bad stones when I was treated in 2008 to 2009. I recently had my gall bladder out before I recently started triple therapy. I just watched my diet and tried to stay away from food triggers. Just another complication to deal with although when I was suffering from it in 2008 I thought it was more a side effect of the meds. Having it removed was the best thing I could have done.
I'm not much help other than my same old cannabis is good for nausea and pain, advice.
One thing I can suggest, is to take fish oil. It won't take the pain away but it is good for the gall bladder.
