Thanks 

Hello. I too have had my gallbladder removed, and about 4 months later I experienced the pain in my right side right at the waist, radiating to the front and to the back. Feels much like a gallbladder attack. I could barely breathe without it feeling like a knife stabbing me.

I'll keep this simple:

--After your gallbladder is removed, your liver takes on a big load and needs to be watched and cared for very seriously. Even do liver cleanses 4 times a year. Research this on your own. Great information available. Your liver produces the bile that used to be stored in your gallbladder.

--I've read many blogs where people have had this pain examined through all sorts of tests, such as MRI, CT scans, blood work, HIDA scans, etc. As far as I can tell, no one can tell where the pain comes from.

--I research everything, and when I started having the side pain about 10 days ago, I jumped into a deep research about this. There has been some speculation that maybe there was a slight nerve damage during the removal surgery. Who knows.

--Through trial and error I am discovering that if I eat a fatty meal or eat food difficult to digest, I have this side pain. I feel bloated too.

--To help remedy the pain and bloating, I take an oxbile supplement (look on Amazon for Oxbile and read the product description and the reviews). I also take digestive enzymes (not to be confused with probiotics), and Gas-X. Great help.

--I also do some stretches and crunches, and other calisthenic exercises. These help enormously.

The bottom line is this... Your diet has to change, and you will need to exercise a bit every day. Simple exercises that work the parts of your body that hurt. Clear this with your doctor. Only 15 minutes of workout makes a massive difference for me. You CANNOT eat like you did before your gallbladder was removed.

Take the time to find out what kinds of foods you should eat without a gallbladder. Research Oxbile and Digestive Enzymes. Check out information on your liver and pancreas after GB removal. I've had much relief by eating better, and a bit of exercise, even during the pain. It goes away for me.

Good luck

Yes. I had my gallbladder removed 6 months ago.

I am better than I was but still have pain in my right side, in my stomach and sometimes in my back passage.

I have been back to GP and she thinks that either I have IBS or a small stone may be stuck in my bile duct.

I have an appointment for an endoscopy in December.

I think you just have to be really careful what you eat.

Nothing too fatty.

I seem to be OK with spicy food (luckily because I love it) but I know a lot of people who have had their gallbladder removed who cannot eat spicy food.

We are all differnt, you just have to work out what foods trigger your symptoms.

Hope this helps.

Take care and keep in touch

Hi had my gb removed 10 months ago, managed quite well it was a bit difficult to get out was all I was told . it was infected so had drain in and antibiotics at first. After five months went back to gp conplaining of tightness in gb area and bloating kept me awake at night. Had ultrasound showed very slight fatty liver. When I asked if this showed on my first scan they said couldn't measure it as they couldn't see it! (Not sure how they coukd see gb but not liver)! Anyway liver function blood tests fine so just stay on low fat diet. Doesn't answer my question why this tightness in right side and through to the back. Anyone any ideas please. Think it takes a lot longer to fully adjust to life after gb removed but seems for some gets gradually better , hope this is the case for you.
