The gall bladder is a small organ that has many uses, in fact most people know nothing about theirs until they experience some form of illness as a result of it. It can produce pain and may even need removed in millions of people, so it is best to learn all about the gall bladder and what you need to consider if your are having surgery.
The gall bladder is tiny, it is part of your body's way of breaking down foods. It generally is used to breakdown fatty foods that you have placed into your system. It can result in developing stones, or "sledge" inside the organ. These two things may seem small in the big scheme of overall health, but they can become extremely painful when not treated properly. The issue seems to be that most people do not have the resources to clearly define if they are truly having gall bladder symptoms or not.
Symptoms of an unhealthy gall bladder are:
Headaches, gas, bloating, cramping in the upper right side of the abdomen, constipation, pain just in between the shoulder blades, light colored stools or indigestion.
These symptoms are so vast that they can all lead to something else being wrong in the body which is why it is best to have it checked out as soon as you feel something may be wrong. The doctors can perform several tests to check and see if that is the case or not. A basic scan of the abdomen area can quickly identify what the issue is. It may not be your gall bladder but something completely else that is causing you pain or discomfort. You may have an issue with your liver, or your pancreas a well which can be much more severe if left untreated so do advise your physician of these conditions to get the proper treatment.
If your doctor has prescribed having the gall bladder removed, you must take your diet seriously just after having the surgery. At first, some patients claim they can feel a cold sensation when they eat or drink something chilled. Having foods that are low in fat and replacing them with ones that are high in fiber and protein along with drinking water on a regular basis with be best for you. Get plenty of rest after the surgery, it may be sore or tender to the touch. Your doctor will prescribe you medications to make you feel better and ease some of that pain. Take them as prescribed and it may be a good idea to do so with some food at first as your body is now learning all over again how to process foods.
My dad had to have his gall bladder removed. He had years of eating unhealthy, high in fat, fast foods to thank for that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this article. Those symptoms you explained make me think I need to go to the doctor and make sure I don't have any problem with my gall bladder.
ReplyDeleteYes you definitely do Krinsky, and do not put it off.
ReplyDeleteMy dad also had to have his gall bladder removed. The doc said it looked so bad, it looked like hamburger meat inside of it.
ReplyDeleteReally? My husband told me that I had a gall stone the size of a musket ball. It got really, really painful at times. I felt *much* better after the surgery but yes, you *do* have to follow the doctor's directions after you have it out. While it might not mean that you can never eat certain foods again, your body *will* metabolize fat differently and it's especially important to avoid fats as much as you can for the month or so after the surgery. I didn't and, trust me, you don't want to do that!
