This described my symptoms to a T - even though I had a severe attack, thought I was dying from a heart attack, went to the hospital by ambulance and was treated with nitro in route because it was believed I was about to have heart failure - was checked for EVERYTHING under the sun while I 'handled' the discomfort for almost 3 months. FINALLY had the Hida scan to determine that my gallbladder was not functioning at all. Sigh. Incidentally the initial ultra-sound of my gallbladder showed NO ABNORMALITIES and they were about to move on. Thankfully my doctor ordered the hida scan!!! If you have these symptoms and your ultra-sound shows that your gallbladder is normal - push for the hida scan!
Thank you , I am currently in the ER for epigastric and nausea, very uncomfortable, had a CT of abdomen and pelvis with contrast and a Ultrasound of the GB and both showed no abnormalities, I am having the HIDA scan in the morning. It is like a dull , gnawing pain, like I just want to coat my stomach with something. I also am so nauseous but no vomiting or diarrhea. Hoping they figure out what is going on. I am miserable and haven’t been able to eat in days . Also I have had these same symptoms before but they went away but now the symptoms are not going away.
Hi I hope this helps you as if does me. As soon as I feel an attack coming on I get my shoes on and go for a brisk walk 15 mins of brisk walking works for me, but you have to start walking as soon as you feel it starting, any later and the pain makes walking very difficult, this has worked for me 4 times for me now. I’m on the waiting list for the operation, I really hope this helps you.
I've been having this distance pain under my right ribs and back. I suffer from hiatus hernia and thought maybe this was another symptom of that. Also my local hospitals are in lockdown due to covid. So no emergency visits.
@@moa3645 same here. I’m constantly nauseated, unable to eat more than a bite at a time with this pain that is more in the upper right side of my back along with it. I’m down 12 lbs in a month.
Everybody saying he did not address “what to do” is wrong..very clearly at the end, Dr. Parker says that if you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to go see a Doctor! 😊 It was very simple to understand yet clinical enough for a lay person. Thanks Dr. Parker 👏🏻
Ive had it twice. In my 20s then again at 48 about. It last about 4 hours of blinding pain, then suddenly pain stops when the stone finally passes. The last time I was in the hospital amd by the time they ran tests it suddenly stopped. They left me in pain as they needed to follow the pain scenario. 🙄.
The pain is not crampy. It is intense. On a scale of 1-10, it’s a 9. Even 10. The pain is also in the back, between the shoulder blades, and radiates up into the shoulders and jaw. Putting a heating pad on helps, and drinking hot lemon water. This works for me anyway, but the pain can last anywhere from 15 minutes to over an hour. It’s exhausting.
Yes !! The worst pain I've ever felt , couldn't catch my breath and was sweating profusely. Thought it was a heart attack for a min. And I'm a Cardiac Critical care RN
Thank you for explaining this! I had my gallstone removed a week and a half ago. I had many of these symtoms for months and months before it was determined that I had gallstones. I was never explained these details about the gallbladder or gallstones. You made it clear and simple. I really appriciate the knowledge!
Exactly..I've been to the pure ER and Dr several times and it finally took the 3rd time at the ER when I called an ambulance to myself before they checked and realized I had gallstones and bad inflammation surrounding the gallbladder..It felt like pure labor pains in my back,poured sweat,vomited, all that he mentioned before they Finally scheduled me surgery..I have had other surgeries for other reasons and pains fir other things BUT a gallbladder attack so far as to date is the worst thing I've ever experienced.
People at urgent care was looking at me crazy when I told them I was experiencing tightness in my chest in addition to intense stomach pains. Thank you for the explanations
Your professional MD advise helped on so many levels as I just went to my local ER just this morrning and learned that I have stones and will need some sort of surgery. Your tutorial not only comforted my worries, but helped my confusion of my situation. I am grateful for your advise!
@@sergiovillarreal1516 the do an endoscopy. Basically they scope you from the mouth down, it sucks. That's how my gastroenteritis found my gallbladder problems. I had to have mine removed.
Did they do a CT scan or an ultrasound I was in the ER yesterday and I did it on all my organs and said that everything was okay but that still doesn't give me an answer for the horrible pain on my right side and back and how sick I feel
When they sent me home yesterday they said everything was fine I read the reports I said gallbladder normal and no biliary dilation not sure that's a good thing or a bad thing
Thanks. I thought I had heartburn for the last 1.5 years. Was treating it as such, but antacids, pepcid, prylosec, etc had no affect but the attacks were becoming very frequent and more sever. In hindsight, my symptoms were exactly as you describe here, but most people and doctors go straight to heartburn and gerd. Took an ER visit and an ultrasound to determine I had gallstones and then it all made sense. My non-doctorly advice is if you have 'heartburn' that last for 8 hours and antacids do nothing, get an appointment with a good GI and tell them (suggest) that you think it is gallbladder and get an ultrasound. I am on a zero fat, small meal, diet that has eliminated the attacks so I can at least get to my surgery that is scheduled in 11 days. Thanks again. Best overview I have seen.
The only thing I remember about my gallbladder problem was the intense debilitating pain that it caused and how much I suffered from these gallbladder attacks for 6 months. The pain finally disappeared after a surgery after turning myself to the emergency dept.
Thanks for asking had turned myself to hospital once coz I felt sick a month after discharged I think it may have been an infection in the liver from the stitch they gave me IV antibiotics before discharging me again.
Dr. Thank you so much for your insight and teachings on the symptoms of Gallbladder Disease or problems. I have such a better understanding of the what and why I was experiencing sooooo much pain. 😭😭😭🤮🤮About 10 years ago I believe I had my first experience of a gallbladder attack which landed me in the ER. I didn’t know what was going on. But I ended up going to my primary care and she referred me to a general surgeon. I talked with the surgeon and we discussed options. I guess at that time the thought of surgery (I mean taking something out of me, I couldn’t really comprehend). I opt to just watch my diet. Fast forward almost 10 years later. I started to have that intense pain in my back and stomach... those exact areas you mentioned in the video. Sorry for the long comment. I have suffered with attacks over the last few years, just thinking that I must have a stomach virus or food poisoning. crazy 😝 more recently, in April I was sooo sick, with all the symptoms for hours vomiting 🤮 with no relief. I even passed out for a few seconds. Scared to go to the ER due to COVID-19. Finally after 7 hours of sickness it went away. Now on July 14th , I had another attack and It was almost worst than in April, at that point I got scared 😱 and I told my husband that we needed to go to the ER. My gallbladder was inflamed and the next morning I had it removed. Yaaaayyyy!!! 👍🏽👏🏽☺️ But the funny thing During my recovery... in fact the next day or 2, I started to fill pains and cramping in my back again. It would start on the left side and move to the middle and then my right side. I was having pains under my right breast.,etc. so Inside of my 2 week recovery, I ended up in the hosp for 8 days, had 2 ECRP procedures to clean out stones and sludge in the main bile duct. My urine was a deep yellow/ orange color. My bilirubin was still high even after the first ECRP. It didn’t change significantly until the 2nd procedure. I’m still under DR. Care and feeling much much better. ???? Having gone through these procedures is it safe to say that I had complications with the removal of the gallbladder? I Have to do blood work so my GI team can track my progress. 😀🙌🏽👍🏽 I thank you for giving me a better understanding of what I was going though. The 💡 is totally on now!😃😀😃
I hope everyone with this gets better and lives pain free. I was scared I might have it as I've been having a bit of pain in my right rib but, from what people say about how much it hurts, I can only assume it's probably not this. My pain is kinda sharp and in my upper rib, maybe just inflammation.
Hi how are u? Did everything turn out ok? I’m currently going through having pain in my middle abdomen like between the ribs and belly button. The pain goes mostly on the left near the rib but then moves to the right... started yesterday out of the blue I did noticed a few days ago I had short abdominal pan. My pain is kinda dull burning sensation a bit at times and moves around all over the body
The bottom line is that pain ISNT normal, you should definitely tell a doctor your symptoms and its hard but pay attention to your bodys schedule and your stool, and the type of pains you get and where, but also for the love of GOD get a doctor that knows what theyre talking about 😭😭💜
I have the sharp pains under my ribs, when they did the x-ray I was told that it was pneumonia which is worse I guess, they gave me some pills to take and seems like it got better months later.
I’m the one who is having pain right in the center along with nausea and the occasional stabbing pain. I thought I might have something else Crohns related going on with me so I was surprised when my gastroenterologist said it was my gallbladder. But what you said here fit me to a T. I’m glad the little booger is coming out this week! Thanks for your video!
Better in some respects. I’m not having the pain I was having before. But my visits to the bathroom are far more frequent and eating anything fatty is a really bad idea. I don’t think I’m going to try a keto diet any time soon!
I had my first debilitating gallstone attack at 6 months pregnant. It came over me all of a sudden as a debilitating pain in my back that radiated to wrap around my torso. The best way to describe it was as if a vice were clamped around my spine that just kept tightening for hours on end.
Just changing my diet helped alot. Cutting out greasy fried foods, sweets and replacing with fruits such as apples, pears, bananas, pineapple and lemon water ect. I had 3 attacks. The 1st one was like a heart attack and lasted about 30 min. The 2nd was 8 hrs as if someone was kicking me in the stomach. All the time not knowing the problem. When i felt the 3rd one i rushed to the emergency room and 10 hrs later after a sonagram they said i was passing a stone and that i had sludge. When they gave me ibupropin straight into my IV the pain went away. I guess it relaxed the duct and the stone passed. Been 3 years since i had a major attack. But i do get some pain when i stray from my diet for awhile.
I’m male, I have to have my gallbladder removed. My pain is like somebody is standing on my chest, I get a fever and chills, really nauseous. Horrible back pain too. And it only ever hits me while I’m sleeping, wakes me up, keeps me up.
@@markedwards502 honestly I can eat anything without a fear of pain, however I lost any form of bowel movement schedule, constant diarrhea. I was nothing like this prior to having it removed, literally a close bathroom is on my mind 24/7
I've had this same pain for years. I've seen maybe 10 different doctors about this and they can't find the issue. Yet, I'm getting more information from this video than those doctors. Same cramping pain, right upper quadrant just below my rib cage. It makes me question the for profit American medical system.
Same exact scenario here. Doctors can’t figure it out and I had several test done. They just shrug their shoulders. This dr on this video describes my pain perfectly in the same area. Where to go from here? Idk
Ive had this about 3yrs ago, kept going to my GP, had a camara down my throat, one where the sun don't shine, an ultra scan, blood tests, etc, in and out of the hospital, for appointments, and rushed in due to pain, yet they never listened to what my body was telling me, and seemed to be looking in all the wrong places, supposedly they couldnt find anything wrong, I got fed up with my dr's, and took it upon myself to fix it. Long story short, I self medicated with a course of antibiotics, paracetamol, and laxatives. It eventually went away. Three weeks ago, and 3yrs later, here in the present day. I got what I can only describe as severe muscle crap pain, right under my lowest rib, on the right hand side, 3 or 4 times, in the past fortnight. I now have a constant, dull, knarly pain in exactly the same place, goes straight through into my back, lack of appetite, sweating loads, no sickness, I dont feel hot or cold, but the slightest activitiy, and I sweat like a pig. Dr's seemed to be fixated on my bowel last time. I kept saying its gallstones, but they just seemed annoyed that I was saying this, now im certain it is. Could I try getting rid of it the same as last time, or should I scream at my GP, who is absolutely useless. I dont like to self heal/medicate or google illnesses etc, but when your GP doesn't help, what should I do please? Thank you for any advice or help. Steve
Ive got the same pain right side just under the ribs and straight thru to that exact spot on my back. Ive also got crohn's disease and the docs always blame that but crohns doesnt make me nauseous and certainly doesnt radiate to my back. Ive bet theyve been treating me for the wrong disease.
I've been having pain for several months, had a HIDA scan, and my results show the gallbladder functioning at 18%. We didn't immediately jump to surgery because I've also been having pain on my left side. Had an upper GI to be safe and found nothing but some mild reflux. My surgery is scheduled soon. I don't know if all my issues are a result of the gallbladder, but I've already been to the ER twice with chest pains. Ended up getting a heart cath just to make sure I was negative for blockages. No one explained the vagus nerve to me. Brilliant video. Thanks so much!
I also have a malfunctioning gulbladder at 13% I have pain on my right side and moves to my back down my lumbar and up my right side and in my neck...my pain is dull achy and burning and I cant sleep on my right side. I've had ultrasound and hyda scan no gallstones, or infection just not functioning right I did discover I have fatty liver too ...my surgery is scheduled in 2 weeks I wish you the best
This is amazing. Thank you. I thought it was my heart, but I must have gone through chronic cholecysistitis, and maybe it's acute now. Getting an ultrasound asap. Explaining in simple terms clarified so much. Definitive video for gallbladder pain and symptoms.
I just got done spending a week in the hospital for what I was treating as back spasms for six months. The pain would begin in the middle of my back, then would work down to my entire abdomen, no nausea. I didn't find any correlation between what I ate and the attacks. There were actually 2 blockages, one at the liver, and another where the bile duct meets the small intestine. I now have a gallbladder drain for a few more weeks (they said 4-6 weeks total) and a stint in my bile duct which I will need removed after they remove my gallbladder. My body had actually gone septic because I waited so long. You're right the symptoms can be very strange, I was in and out of the chiropractor for what I thought was a herniated disc. My back pain went away when they put the drain in. Thanks for the video, I'm sure it has helped many people.
Sounds eerily similar. I just went to Doctors today. Sent home with Muscle Relaxers for back pain. It is doing nothing. Ughh. I have no correlation to when I eat as well. Dull ache in front of my RUQ when I sleep. Maybe I should request some blood work. Pain is inRUQ and radiates to side and back!
@@SandwedgeMon im having this a year now and it’s getting worse. 4 months into this started losing weight. no doc has mentioned anything about a possible gb infection even though i constantly tell them of the burning sensations along the right side of my abdomen and now having right shoulder pain and weakness but also a bit of left shoulder pain too. just had to go to the ER yesterday for crazy heart palpitations, weakness and the pains on my right side increased. they took blood, checked my heart and monitored me for several hrs. also did a chest x-ray. bloodwork came back with liver enzymes all normal and they said nothing’s wrong with my heart. today i feel the same as yesterday. they didn’t even recommend a specialist for me to see. ive lost about 35-38 lbs since last november and i’m not looking good. who should i see???
I got really ill about six months ago. Had enormous stress and developed diarrhea, extreme nausea. I felt so ill I made my will and found someone to take my dogs. I didn't have a doctor and being a "new" patient I made an appointment but couldn't get in for two months so I started researching. I first started taking zeolite powder and that reduced the nausea. I thought I had liver or pancreatic cancer but was nauseated on an empty stomach. I then discovered I had a bad gallbladder caused by the stress I was under. I cut out nuts and that helped alot because I was eating nuts all day long. I started taking Tudca and that reduced the diarrhea. I added half a green apple and half a grapefruit per day. I was eating one meal a day but the nausea was the worst on an empty stomach so I ate two meals a day. I still had alot of pressure and didn't feel great and read "herbs" help but couldn't find out what kind. I had some herb tinctures from Dr. Morse Health Club I had but stopped taking months before. I started taking the herb tinctures again and the pressure was gone in one day. I feel so much better, not 100% but close to 80%. I added zinc and trace minerals to my water.
Anita , you’re absolutely right about gallbladder pain. Felt like a bus sitting on my chest, terrible shoulder pain. Sickness. I suffered for months before diagnosis. My skin was yellow also. After I had the operation they said I had fragmented stones. And my gallbladder had been diseased for a long time. The pain was so severe I hardly had any energy.
@@karenimran3349 Yeah that's bad and you suffered for months with this, people die from this. I had my surgery the old fashion way before the Laproscopy.
Anita Sanford I almost had to have open surgery , due to fragmented stones. I think they had a bit of difficulty. But thankfully I didn’t. Sorry for you that you did. It must be so much worse with open surgery.
Sarah M Well I have other issues with my health now. Not connected to gallbladder. But, a year after I had the gallbladder out I had to go back to see the surgeon as I still had pain. He informed me although the gallbladder was removed you still have scar tissue. But I find not eating fried food etc make a difference. Thank you Sarah for asking.
take chancapiedra in insane amounts (2-3grams every couple hours for a couple days) and see if it helps. Just cured my stepdad and they wanted to take his gallbladder out like immediately. you can get it on amazon now which is great.
I have everyday abdominal pain and much air in my abdomen, it’s about one year now the doctors don’t understand my problem, I can’t take this shot anymore
I'm so glad I found your video. I've been suffering badly with gallbladder pain for about 8 months. My pain is in the upper right quad that spreads to the middle, my shoulder and my back. At first it only hurt after eating fried or fatty foods. For the last 2 months it now begins to hurt no matter what I eat or drink. I just lay in a ball for hours in pain. Also up until 2 months ago drinking a cup of peppermint tea would ease the pain away. I'm drinking 4 cups of peppermint tea every time it hurts with very little help now. I guess its time to make an appointment. Your videos are great! Thank you!
i'm here because I just uncoiled from my ball of pain! I was in a ball in my bed for 5 hours.. I had a routine ultrasound done before an upcoming surgery several weeks ago and they found gallstones.. I was put on a low fat diet and was doing great.. and I gave in to pizza last night :( and BOOM.. my 1st attack. Horrible!! Called the Dr. , they said to go to ER if I have a fever or go Jaundice.. that's it.. just lay there and suffer :(
Please someone help me, I have been suffering so bad that I don't even want to live anymore like this. Every few months, or few weeks, its sporadic, but I'll have what I call an "attack", I can't eat, drink, I puke yellow vile, and it feels like a knife is trying to come out from my abdomen. When it happens I am down for atleast 3-4 days, Most of the times, I try to stay in a hot shower because for some reason it soothes the pain, so I just stayed in a bath tub for 2 days straight, you should see the pics of the brusing on my back. A lot of times it use to be accompanied with hot and cold flashes, sweathing, and restless leg syndrome, It also blurs my vision and makes me feel like I have the energy of a 100 year old man, I basically limp to walk. I have a job to try and keep and this is really ruining my life for the last 2 years. PLease does anyone have any ideas or tips? I cannot suffer like this anymore, I can't even eat or drink, I use to be 185 lbs now im 133. oh yean and I can't have a bowel movement at all, it's like I get locked up. And sometimes a bowel movement will bring it on, it usually happens after a bowel movement that is very painful and can barely come out, and when it does, that's when the attack starts. Does anyone know what might be wrong???? i get shortness of breathe also. and a fever, nausea, everything.
Thanks for well simplify . I just got my gallstones remove at the emergency about 8 days now and it's still source . I'm glad I did it and in the future I hope my life back to normal which I can eat anything I want without cause any pain
One Saturday afternoon last June, I had a rather severe pain start in my upper abdomen. I wiggled and twisted looking for a position that wasn't too painful. Could not find one. Finally I called my wife and asked her to take me to the ER. By the time we got there, pain was about 9.5 on the 10 scale. They looked at me in the waiting room, and decided this was a cardiac problem (I have a history, and 2 stents to show for it.) Took me back real fast. X-rays and EKG, and blood tests, they could not find a heart attack. Pain was terrible. Morphine was not touching it. Finally tried dilaudid, that worked. Much hemming and hawing, a Dr from my cardiologist's practice (they are in the same building) came by, looked at the tests, and told them I did not have a heart problem. They did not agree, and held me for observation. Got a room immediately (that is not a given on a Saturday night), and had a miserable 2 days of tests and EKGs. Finally on Monday, they could not say what it was, but they were ready to release me. But, just to be sure, they did an abdominal X-ray and an ultrasound. By the time I got back to my room, I was met by a nice lady in scrubs, who introduced herself as my surgeon. Oh... After the operation, she said that my gallbladder was badly infected and gangrenous. Good thing they did the ultrasound. Better if they'd done it Saturday. Next 4 days recovering in hospital, getting an amazing variety of IV antibiotics. After all that, I recovered pretty quickly and have been OK since. Fortunately I have had few side effects.
I had recurrent epigastric pain for two years. The last attack was six hours long and awful. First time I ever went to the ER for drugs as I assumed I was going to die. 😂 Four weeks later it was removed and I felt GREAT!
Don't go for surgery, the alternative treatments DO work. Eat an apple a day, use the remedies mentioned above, and DO a gallbladder flush - it DOES work to remove stones and get you feeling great again! Sometimes gallbladder gets removed but the person still has symptoms and pain. Go natural!
@@dianestallings2853 can u pls for the love of God educate me more on natural remedies?I don't want the surgery as they just saw gallstones in my bladder n i had lived in severe torture for 5 years thinking it was as a result of diagnosed h pylori induced chronic gastritis by endoscopic biopsy
your video was the clearest information. you are a great doctor good at communication. i have just retired as a midwife lactation consultant and child health nurse.and its great to see such good communication
I find it unusual that during a GB attack, I can not force myself to vomit (a full stomach) no matter what. It's like everything is on "lock down" and refuses to move in either direction.
Great Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you thought about - Parlandealey Escaping Gallstone Process (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome one off product for learning how to eliminate Gallstones naturally without the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my old buddy Taylor at very last got astronomical results with it.
@@redknight9740 pretty she so sexy I came here cause I was having gallbladder pain & now I have gallbladder pain with broken heart syndrome.. 😭😭😭😭😭man God bless here we're ever she is at in the world 🌎🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍💔💔💔💖❤️💝💗💓💞💕💌💟💟❣️❣️💔💋
Hi Doc. Thanks for the video. I suffered 10 yrs and finally HAD TO GO TO ER. MY PAIN WAS RIGHT UNDER MY LT BREAST THAT WAS MORE SWOLLEN THAT THE REST OF MY TUMMY. GRIPPING SPASMS, DRY HEAVES, NAUSEA, BACK PAIN. WELL THE RADIOLOGIST CALLED MY PCP AND FINALLY THE RADIOLOGIST TOLD ME THE HE AND MY PCP BOTH AGREED I WAS TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE ER. I was immediately admitted, had very fast ANTIBIOTIC IV DRIP along with nausea med. 2 days of this tx and pain injections thru IV were administered and I FINALLY met my surgeon, wonderful lady DR. She had cardiologist co me, who said I need to have 2 stints put in. Preferably before gall bladder sx. But, since my poor gall bladder was screaming more than my heart, you guessed right, sx was immediately performed and I stayed for another day in the hospital until I was cleared to go. Now, sorry for such lengthy descriptions. I had to explain. I have a question please? Is it permissible to eat salads? I thoroughly love them. I was told and thoroughly understand to avoid red meats and high fat contents. Also, Dr. Atkins meal replacement drinks have been my breakfast and lunch for awhile now. Is this ok to intake after gall bladder is removed? I do wonder if the fibromyalgia that I have will do anything to delay healing? Sending advance sincerest thank you to you for all of your videos. Have a blessed day. :)
I've performed a gallbladder flush, and I can confirm that it works. First: My ultrasound scan showed a 4mm big polyp and sand in my gallbladder. I've had some pain, mostly at night. Sometimes I woke up due to so much pain. Second: I've performed the flush like so: I've consumed 34 oz. of apple juice (green apples are the best, organic juice, non filtered) a day for six days continuously (use malic acid if diabetes is the problem). On the seventh day, I did not eat or drink anything after 2pm. I prepared my EPSOM salts mix: 4 tablespoons of EPSOM salts with 24 oz. spring watter and divided it on 4 parts. I've taken 1st portion at 6pm, then another portion on 8pm, at 9:30pm, I took 200ml of pure organic extra virgin cold pressed olive oil and 100 ml of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Shaked it really really good (you have to have some kind of mini shaker) and drank this mix. I followed that with another 6 oz. of watter. Immediately (2-3 minuets after) I went to bed to lie down on my right side in fetal position. Like so for about 30 min. Next morning, i took third portion of EPSOM salts at 6am, and last - fourth portion at 8am. Throughout the whole day and the next day, green little balls were excreted from my black hole :) Some were half green and half black. Very toxic stuff. Third: Throughout these 7 days and 2 days after the flush, I've consumed only greens and very light food (soups, fruits, salads) and as much warm food as I could. I HAVEN'T CONSUMED ANY COLD drink !! Forget eggs, forget flesh food, forget dairy products, greasy foods, sugar, spices, nuts. FORGET COKE !!! These are all bad for your gallbladder. And I've consumed lots of beet juice (I've mixed grapefruit with 100% organic beet juice - which is paradise for your liver and it also tastes good ;) ). Fourth: I took MRI scan (with contrast) 17 days later. Scans showed no signs of 4 mm polyp (which was obviously a cholesterol polyp - such polyps represent 50% of all polyps) and no sand at all. The radiologist advised to repeat ultrasound (not MRI) scan after 6 months. Just in case :)) For me, it was mission accomplished :) All I can say to those who claim that this flush doesn't work and to all very smart surgeons (a.k.a. wannabes): IN YOUR FACE, suckers !!! :P Fifth: remember, your liver is a factory that cleans your body constantly. If liver fails, all hell breaks loose and you end up with numerous and serious, very serious health related problems (yes, cancer as well). Your belly reflects the status of your liver health. Eat healthy and avoid junk food ( have discipline), exercise, go out to woods, breathe fresh air and enjoy life. Your body will be very grateful. Last but not least: Hipocrates quote: "All disease begins in the gut". He was right !
I’ve been feeling constant pain on the upper right side of stomach, below the rib and even on it. Do you think this flush would help. I have 3 very small stones in the gallbladder got ultrasound done. Pls help. I’m too tired of the pain.
I know something was wrong with me like over a year before I had to have my g-bladder removed in an emergency surgery. 1) I couldn't belch instead it would be like 4-8 little mini silent burps 2) I gained like 15-20lbs out of nowhere in such a short amount of time I thought it was because I was coming up on turning 40yrs old and from a little depression from 2 friends dying and another really good friend moved then another went to prison..again😑 3)within 30minutes any type of dairy products i consumed had me running for the toilet and its was never an in-n-out even honestly I had a craft tote and TV tray for a table in my bathroom for those times...4) this is grosser than #3 just a heads up.. My "cycle" went from 3-5days a month to 14-30+days at a time and it was like a crime scene for most of the cycle. As soon as my g-bladder was removed it went back to 3-5days again. 5) my from my knees to my toes would swell up so bad that it was hard to wear my shoes or even walk sometimes. Then I started to get a mild case of heartburn one day. I've had heartburn maybe 5 times in my whole life and three days later I couldn't eat it went through like 2 bottles of pepto in less that 24hrs and my neighbor was nice enough to give me a hydrocodone pill that I split into 4 pieces because I am not a pill person. Thats when I went to the ER at UMC here in Las Vegas,NV. My liver had decided it was gonna start to swallow my g-bladder and I guess its suppose to be a green color but mine was totally white. I didn't have gallstones which I guess was really unusual.
I'm currently having these attacks like 2-3 nights apart. A huge burning knot below my breastbone that travels around my ribs to thr back and a few hours later and a LOT of pain meds and deep heat later it settles as a throbbing in the right corner of the chest. It's horrendous. I'm crying every night with this. No fever or nausea but they did find two gallstones.
I was having upper abdominal Pain. Nausea. And weird back pain. Had ultrasound and they showed stones in my gall bladder. This pain happemed about 5 times over 4 months and finally decided I need to go doctor. I feel much better havingnit removed few weeks ago. Sore but not unbearable. Eatting Normal and feeling much better.
@@anthonyzudyk6386 I had this, but they left it up to me to decide if I wanted the surgery. But I'm unsure, or don't really know enough about it. But this videos and reading the comments have been interesting. Though I did say I would think about it as I was unsure. I wasn't at the best place so I think it was best for now to leave it. But when I feel better with myself I might come back to it. I have been suffering from anxiety and which of course also means surgery makes me anxious. I guess I'm trying to work out which to sort first with the least amount of problems but I end up going around in circles. So I figured I had to sort anxiety first.
I’ve been to the ER twice, rounds of labs drawn, lung Ca. Screening, stress test, after 4 months of this madness, my sister in law suggested it may be GB.. today, I’m going for the ultra sound!!
Wait my ultrasounds came back clear but I’m having a lot of upper quadrant pain that radiates through the back and chills only on my right side. Did you ever find out what happened?
Read about taking care of your Liver and Gallbladder without surgery. I had gallbladder attacks since I was in my teens and I never knew what they were from and they are not fun. I found out and I learned what is bad to eat and what is good to eat. I also did many liver/ gallbladder flushes and I never had another attack and I am healthier in many other ways.
It's been over a week now...intermitant upper right abdomen pain radiating through to the back. Extreme bloating. Irregular bowels. Also pinching type pain in the same abdominal area. - able to calm it most of the time with a warm cloth or heated pad. - been staying away from Rich food - drinking lots of water with lemon,
Hello Deb how is your condition now? I have the same issue just like yours I feel intermittent pinching/stabbing pain in my Upper right abdomen. Hope to hear from you.
Same here. Bloating and lots of gas 2 days after the initial attack. Also pinching pain that gets pretty intense. Nothing like the initial attack though
This video and another video about cleansing probably just saved me from having my gallbladder removed. I REALLY appreciate this video. VERY HELPFUL. God bless you for putting this up man. You rock. I was having the pain in the CENTER like you talk about 3 min and 45 second in. Doctors, do not seem to be aware of this pain leading to stones. You saved me man!
I had them a few years back. It is so painful, your abdomen contacts and it’s difficult to breathe. It never failed to have me on my knees crying at how painful it was. I had nausea and was vomiting.
This is exactly how my pain is, abdomen contracting and hurts to breath in. And after eating a nice meal I'd sit there worrying for the rest of the night hoping that awful pain wouldn't reoccur! Lol it was taking over my life! Can't wait to get this thing removed!
On July 21st, I was diagnosed with gallstones, pancreatitis, and spots on my ovaries. My doc said don’t be surprised if you get two surgeries in the near future.
Bile salts help before and after gallbladder removal surgery! I had mass pain in Er then almost constantly for 2 months. Started Solaray Super Digestaway that has bile extract etc in it. Amazingly the pains stopped!!! Mine is very distended w a bunch of stones, so had to schedule surgery. Good video, Dr. Berg has good videos on that too. God bless n help us all! 🙏💜
I have pain in the left side and I feel like when I have to pee it's worse. It's not a horrible pain it's just non stop uncomfortable like I'm squishing something on that side under my ribs. Is this a symptom?
This is so informative. I've been constantly nauseas for years now and getting worse. GI suspects gallbladder and has ordered a HIDA scan and upper endoscopy just in case. So nervous but glad to see vids like yours!
I had GI scans and endoscopy and something else I can't remember but turns out a simple ultrasound will show if you have a problem in your gallbladder.
Thank you! This is the best explanation ever. I have had pain on and off. Nothing severe but finally went to the ER to have it checked out since I knew it just didn’t feel right . CT scan, blood work, pointed to gallstones and gallbladder/pancrease causing the issue. Diagnosis was gallstone pancreatitis. My pain was in the middle and towards the left side of my upper abdomen, not on the right side. Gallbladder surgery is scheduled in a few weeks.
Please I'd like to suggest taking a parasite medicine a man who was told he had cancer and it was everywhere in all his organ he was told he had 3 months to live they did chemo and it didn't work he took it upon himself and took a parasite medicine he was cured and it is 5 dollars fenbendozole or ivermectin either one will have major benefits he was the only one who took the parasite medicine for dogs and he was the only one cured out of all the patients his is not the only one that has a story like this neither one is harmful as a matter of fact ivermectin has shown 2 not only cure cov. It also prevent it its been coming out that it also shows promising results for cancer and if u look it up always read comments on it because they tried to bad mouth it and prevent people from knowing about it I know u r not saying u have cancer but if u do research u can find that parasites are causing all the disease that we see today people actually take it and all have said they never get sick back in the day people did routine parasite cleans faithfully people aren't aware of what they can do to our bodies they take all the nutrients from our food depleting us of all nutrients and vitamins and they cause nightmare depression anxiety allergies they were the actual cause of deaths during the war ivermectin won't cause any harm to you u just go off the weight u don't have anything to loose only can gain even if it doesn't work I feel comfortable 2 say guaranteed to benefit from it they tried to make it impossible to obtain on internet and they made it were u have to have prescription for it because people caught on to how beneficial it was and it's a known parasite medicine for animals and humans a lady was told she had brain cancer they did a biopsy pulled back a bit of her skull and found it was parasite there was a man where I live who had to have them surgically removed from his liver and other organs he was infested we all have them Dr's just aren't realizing that they travel through food pets and people they are a global problem I urge you to please look into it and if u ask a Dr I'd be hesitant to take what they say to heart because they aren't to knowledgeable about it especially when it dirt cheap because their medicine makes them money
Thank you for this video. 😊 It so confirmed my attack. I didn’t know what it was at first. Pain, nausea, vomiting, chills, etc. Little nauseous even 2 weeks later, pharmacist suggested I check out my gallbladder. She had hers out and she’s so glad she did. Got an ultrasound and yes, gallstones. Wish you could take care of mine 6 years post video (3 informative videos down👍🏼). 🤕👨🏼⚕️🩹
Thank you so much for this video. It confirmed my suspicion that I was experiencing gallbladder attacks. Everything else I watched/read said pain is always in the right side, but mine was only localized in the center of my upper abdomen and through my back. If you hadn't said that specific thing I probably wouldn't have gone in to see a Doctor! Getting this damn thing out next week and can't wait.
@@phillyceramics8131 I had surgery 2-3 months ago and at first occasionally experienced some biliary colic if i ate heavier meals, but it still wasn't near as painful as an actual attack. It has since stopped, however I have noticed my digestion has changed therefore I need to watch what/how much I eat. Would still choose surgery 1000x over ever experiencing another gallbladder attack!
@@lookscookslindsay5084 What does the pain like? I am very curious because i feel a short stabbing pain in my upper right stomach it comes and go. It comes like 3 seconds and go away. I feel scared
I lasted for a year with "attacks". first symptom: heart burn second symptom: pain in the armpit crease and lost strength in my right arm third symptom: hot flash (this was great because this would come first then the other symptoms would come a little after the hot flash started) fourth symptom: felt like someone was grabbing my shoulder blades and trying to twist and rip them off. ( could not sit or stand, no position helped) these happened at all hours of the day. could be hours after eating or before eating. it really did not matter the time or day the attacks would just come when they wanted too
@@tc0306 That's a long pain you put yourself and gallbladder for way too long, they will need to remove it because the gallbladder already took a severe beating.
@@tc0306 I hope you were or been at least taking Ox Bile Salts and/or TUDCA pills to help you out and a very clean Diet with absolutely hardly any Fat (specially Saturated Fat).Just Oatmeal,lentils,beans,brown or white rice,and vegetables with a little bit of Olive Oil to stimulate the Bile movement to clear as much as possible those Cholesterol stones (made from Saturated Fat and high sugars/carbs)..Also, easy on the proteins too.
@@Eros13adios strangley relieved you said brown rice, i ate a bunch for like 2 or 3 days so far and ive been paranoid because i get alot of pain too, because i got my gallbladder out, literally the only other things ive been eating is like black beans and beyond meat, sometimes plantains which probably doesn’t help because fried stuff, it’s complicated
@@dskokos77Yeah my GI doctor told me not to get the HIDA scan as it could cause an attack and that seeing sludge on the ultrasound and the RUQ pain was enough evidence for a surgeon to take it out.
@awhatsname I never had mine out and now have bigger problems. Unsure if connected but I have auto immune primary bialary cirosis. Did you get better after having it out?
This was so helpful! (I am waiting for my ultrasound results from today) I am recommending you to my 13 year old daughter that was to be a pediatrics surgeon! I think you are easy to follow and you will keep her interested!
Let my go almost past away emergency surgeries 2 gallbladder and an ercp and developed acute pancreatitis so sick more pain then I've ever felt in my life
Thank you for explaining in a very plain and simple way. I have been doing a lot of research, trying to understand whats going on with me. Im suspecting it a gall bladder issue since both my parents had theirs removed. You were right on the money with the symptoms! My pain is upper right quadrant,but I feel most of my pain on my back. I sometimes wonder if its a kidney issue. No vomitting but occasional nausea.Thanks so much!!
This is just how I feel 😓 back pain is wicked, feeling sick and tightness in chest. ER twice and stay in Hospital they say nothing. But, it took 3 Drs to see I had chronic hip pain and had it taken care off. Wish you were my Dr
Thank you, I had a rotten gallbladder, that's what the surgery said. For a year I was walking around with a dead gallbladder and the only signs were back pain. Which I always had back pain my whole life...
Thank you. This video was excellent, and for me, I needed to see you show the areas of pain with the demonstration on your body. So many videos I watch just state that pain is upper quadrant, without showing the four places you show - center front, under breast, center back, and under shoulder blade are exactly where my pain is - with some shoulder pain, too. I am currently experiencing extreme pain in shoulder blade, and am waiting to see my gallbladder doctor in a week. Thanks again.
Thank yo very much for the information. My mother's is getting a surgery because of stones and infection in her gallbladder and I live in an other country so I'm searching for good information about this.
Do you actually talk to your patients about the symptoms they are experiencing and listen to what they say they feel like? These are really vague, textbook regurgitations. The drawing is good, though
@@loveandpeace2 my gallbladder, liver and spleen were fine. I had covid19 8 weeks ago. They found lesions in my colon and inflammation in the stomach. A small mass in top of right kidney, nothing serious. Dr. Thinks it was all do to the virus. I am taking carafate 10ml and gaviscan. Feel a little better. Now going for a endoscopy and colonascopy June2. For now they just think it was damages from covid19.
Thanku so much for the great information and for simplifying the video. I have a gp appointment for next week. I've been suffering for years with nausea and recently started getting pain in RUQ bloating Upper back pain. Thanku again.
I've had RUQ pain since I was pregnant with my oldest daughter. Shes about to turn 18 years old. My OB at the time said the pain was likely an internal bruise from having a big baby kicking my ribs. Ok....but I still have that pain plus gallstones and gallbladder disease runs in my family. I can't seem to get a Dr to believe me or look into it any further. That area of my RUQ on the outside, my skin etc, alternates between no feeling or that tingly feeling like when your foots asleep.
Whenever I eat greasy food like fair food or something like that I throw up within a couple hours of eating it. People have told me that could mean I have issues with my gallbladder. Is that true?
Glad I came across this video need new stomach doc for me it start off as random sharp stabbing pain rite thru upper center stomach and vomiting like someone stuck a knife threw it after I eat severe bloating my doc is a moron nothing else can explain this also chills and sweating can be pancreas or gallbladder I have severe nausea and it's unexplained
This was interesting to watch. For months now ive had horrible nausea with a sharp pain in the center of my stomach that shoots up my body. I can't keep food down without gagging for hours. The last month I've lost 15 pnds from the pain because it gets worse when I eat so I try to eat when I can. Everyone I live with tells me it's acid reflex and I am over reacting but the shoulder pain you mentioned got me to reconsider going to the dr because when I have the pain its so sharp it makes my left shoulder hurt and I always think I'm having a heart attack. Im making a Dr appointment now. For once youtube recommended something useful. Thank you for making this video.
Be careful with greens too. Right before I got mine out I couldn't even eat lettuce. As it gets worse the list of foods that affect it will get longer and longer.
I am haveing this cramping burning pain on right side. This is almost constant cramping now . I did notice it hits me walking and siting .I had fever 1 or 2 times. never had much chills.
Thank you for this information, everything that you speak of I am currently feeling I have my doctors appointment tomorrow afternoon and this has been very helpful and informative I appreciate everything that you were doing Mr. Parker.
Im having mild inflammation pain going away after an attack (cholecystitis),mild nausea,warm sensation in the middle upper back..Im taking Ox Bile Salts and TUDCA (which are helping) right now, but im seeing a surgeon team next week because my doctor told me he thinks i need to get my gallbladder removed.
@@genacat4599 Actually No.... I actually did dissolve my Cholesterol-made stones with TUDCA (Or Ox Bile Salts if you can't afford TUDCA)...And a combination with "Spanish Black Radish" pills... Both have studies to back them up to dissolve Gallstones.. I tried Chanca Piedra and I can't say if it helped, but after few months it begun to bother my kidneys..I think Chanca Piedra is more appropriate to dissolve Kidney Stones (not Gallstones).. It will take months to slowly dissolve them..There's no quick fix. each month that passes you will noticed you're feeling much better.. Cut back on Sugars and refined carbs, because if you have a high sugar in your blood,they do contribute to Gallstone formation and as well your risk of developing High Bad Cholesterol.
This described my symptoms to a T - even though I had a severe attack, thought I was dying from a heart attack, went to the hospital by ambulance and was treated with nitro in route because it was believed I was about to have heart failure - was checked for EVERYTHING under the sun while I 'handled' the discomfort for almost 3 months. FINALLY had the Hida scan to determine that my gallbladder was not functioning at all. Sigh. Incidentally the initial ultra-sound of my gallbladder showed NO ABNORMALITIES and they were about to move on. Thankfully my doctor ordered the hida scan!!!
If you have these symptoms and your ultra-sound shows that your gallbladder is normal - push for the hida scan!
Thank you I will push for that Monday I woke up out of my sleep because my stomach, back and shoulder felt like something was punching them internally
Thank you , I am currently in the ER for epigastric and nausea, very uncomfortable, had a CT of abdomen and pelvis with contrast and a Ultrasound of the GB and both showed no abnormalities, I am having the HIDA scan in the morning.
It is like a dull , gnawing pain, like I just want to coat my stomach with something.
I also am so nauseous but no vomiting or diarrhea.
Hoping they figure out what is going on. I am miserable and haven’t been able to eat in days . Also I have had these same symptoms before but they went away but now the symptoms are not going away.
@@ritalewis7707 what happened with it, updates?
Same happened to me have surgery scheduled
Same, but attacks for 20 years. Just diagnosed.
Sat through this whole video in agony waiting to hear the “what to DO” part mentioned in the title and it never came 😭
Surgery! There's is not other way to get over the pain. I just got mine out two weeks ago.
Hi I hope this helps you as if does me. As soon as I feel an attack coming on I get my shoes on and go for a brisk walk 15 mins of brisk walking works for me, but you have to start walking as soon as you feel it starting, any later and the pain makes walking very difficult, this has worked for me 4 times for me now.
I’m on the waiting list for the operation, I really hope this helps you.
Thanks for saving me the time.
I've been having this distance pain under my right ribs and back. I suffer from hiatus hernia and thought maybe this was another symptom of that. Also my local hospitals are in lockdown due to covid. So no emergency visits.
@@moa3645 same here. I’m constantly nauseated, unable to eat more than a bite at a time with this pain that is more in the upper right side of my back along with it. I’m down 12 lbs in a month.
He’s the only doctor I would ever trust he blunt and honest
Finally, an actual MD.
Breath of fresh air from all the DC's out here using the title "doctor" a bit too generously.
Everybody saying he did not address “what to do” is wrong..very clearly at the end, Dr. Parker says that if you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to go see a Doctor! 😊 It was very simple to understand yet clinical enough for a lay person. Thanks Dr. Parker 👏🏻
thank u for pointing that out:)
@@drbuckparker I have a medium blocked gull bladder duct . Are they going to do surgery 🥶
Ive had it twice. In my 20s then again at 48 about. It last about 4 hours of blinding pain, then suddenly pain stops when the stone finally passes. The last time I was in the hospital amd by the time they ran tests it suddenly stopped. They left me in pain as they needed to follow the pain scenario. 🙄.
The pain is not crampy. It is intense. On a scale of 1-10, it’s a 9. Even 10. The pain is also in the back, between the shoulder blades, and radiates up into the shoulders and jaw. Putting a heating pad on helps, and drinking hot lemon water. This works for me anyway, but the pain can last anywhere from 15 minutes to over an hour. It’s exhausting.
Yes it is very exhausting!
Yes !! The worst pain I've ever felt , couldn't catch my breath and was sweating profusely. Thought it was a heart attack for a min. And I'm a Cardiac Critical care RN
My pain lasts for 2 days.
Thank you for explaining this! I had my gallstone removed a week and a half ago. I had many of these symtoms for months and months before it was determined that I had gallstones. I was never explained these details about the gallbladder or gallstones. You made it clear and simple. I really appriciate the knowledge!
Any regrets? I'm suppose to get my removed in 2 weeks. Had one gallbladder attack last week. Not sure what to do.
@@dianepayne9100 No regrets. I feel a lot better.
@@j.w.743 glad to hear that
Exactly..I've been to the pure ER and Dr several times and it finally took the 3rd time at the ER when I called an ambulance to myself before they checked and realized I had gallstones and bad inflammation surrounding the gallbladder..It felt like pure labor pains in my back,poured sweat,vomited, all that he mentioned before they Finally scheduled me surgery..I have had other surgeries for other reasons and pains fir other things BUT a gallbladder attack so far as to date is the worst thing I've ever experienced.
Possible tightness of chest and need for deep breath?
Great explanation, very thorough and well demonstrated.
Good job. Come help me!!!
People at urgent care was looking at me crazy when I told them I was experiencing tightness in my chest in addition to intense stomach pains. Thank you for the explanations
Your professional MD advise helped on so many levels as I just went to my local ER just this morrning and learned that I have stones and will need some sort of surgery. Your tutorial not only comforted my worries, but helped my confusion of my situation. I am grateful for your advise!
What test did they do to find the stones and what's the outcome
@@sergiovillarreal1516 the do an endoscopy. Basically they scope you from the mouth down, it sucks. That's how my gastroenteritis found my gallbladder problems. I had to have mine removed.
Did they do a CT scan or an ultrasound I was in the ER yesterday and I did it on all my organs and said that everything was okay but that still doesn't give me an answer for the horrible pain on my right side and back and how sick I feel
@@sergiovillarreal1516 Sorry to hear you are in so much pain! They did a dye contract scan
When they sent me home yesterday they said everything was fine I read the reports I said gallbladder normal and no biliary dilation not sure that's a good thing or a bad thing
Had my gallbladder operated out and wish I had seen your video beforehand, my doctor was great, I hated that throwing up, chills. I'm great mow.
Thanks for the clear and concise description of EXACTLY what I believe I have …. HIDA scan in the works and praying for an answer and relief.
Thanks. I thought I had heartburn for the last 1.5 years. Was treating it as such, but antacids, pepcid, prylosec, etc had no affect but the attacks were becoming very frequent and more sever. In hindsight, my symptoms were exactly as you describe here, but most people and doctors go straight to heartburn and gerd. Took an ER visit and an ultrasound to determine I had gallstones and then it all made sense. My non-doctorly advice is if you have 'heartburn' that last for 8 hours and antacids do nothing, get an appointment with a good GI and tell them (suggest) that you think it is gallbladder and get an ultrasound. I am on a zero fat, small meal, diet that has eliminated the attacks so I can at least get to my surgery that is scheduled in 11 days. Thanks again. Best overview I have seen.
So glad u r on the right track! This is a common misdiagnosis.
A HIDA scan or an Ultrasound, or are they synonymous?
Ultrasound
The only thing I remember about my gallbladder problem was the intense debilitating pain that it caused and how much I suffered from these gallbladder attacks for 6 months. The pain finally disappeared after a surgery after turning myself to the emergency dept.
Nasha Naufal How are you doing now? Are you totally pain free? And did you have any complications after the surgery?
Any complications after surgery?
Thanks for asking had turned myself to hospital once coz I felt sick a month after discharged I think it may have been an infection in the liver from the stitch they gave me IV antibiotics before discharging me again.
Dr. Thank you so much for your insight and teachings on the symptoms of Gallbladder Disease or problems. I have such a better understanding of the what and why I was experiencing sooooo much pain. 😭😭😭🤮🤮About 10 years ago I believe I had my first experience of a gallbladder attack which landed me in the ER. I didn’t know what was going on. But I ended up going to my primary care and she referred me to a general surgeon. I talked with the surgeon and we discussed options. I guess at that time the thought of surgery (I mean taking something out of me, I couldn’t really comprehend). I opt to just watch my diet. Fast forward almost 10 years later. I started to have that intense pain in my back and stomach... those exact areas you mentioned in the video. Sorry for the long comment. I have suffered with attacks over the last few years, just thinking that I must have a stomach virus or food poisoning. crazy 😝 more recently, in April I was sooo sick, with all the symptoms for hours vomiting 🤮 with no relief. I even passed out for a few seconds. Scared to go to the ER due to COVID-19. Finally after 7 hours of sickness it went away. Now on July 14th , I had another attack and It was almost worst than in April, at that point I got scared 😱 and I told my husband that we needed to go to the ER. My gallbladder was inflamed and the next morning I had it removed. Yaaaayyyy!!! 👍🏽👏🏽☺️ But the funny thing During my recovery... in fact the next day or 2, I started to fill pains and cramping in my back again. It would start on the left side and move to the middle and then my right side. I was having pains under my right breast.,etc. so Inside of my 2 week recovery, I ended up in the hosp for 8 days, had 2 ECRP procedures to clean out stones and sludge in the main bile duct. My urine was a deep yellow/ orange color. My bilirubin was still high even after the first ECRP. It didn’t change significantly until the 2nd procedure. I’m still under DR. Care and feeling much much better. ???? Having gone through these procedures is it safe to say that I had complications with the removal of the gallbladder? I Have to do blood work so my GI team can track my progress. 😀🙌🏽👍🏽 I thank you for giving me a better understanding of what I was going though. The 💡 is totally on now!😃😀😃
Did you have pancreatitis?
I hope everyone with this gets better and lives pain free. I was scared I might have it as I've been having a bit of pain in my right rib but, from what people say about how much it hurts, I can only assume it's probably not this. My pain is kinda sharp and in my upper rib, maybe just inflammation.
I might have the same thing
You might have gallstones. Go see a dr.
Hi how are u? Did everything turn out ok? I’m currently going through having pain in my middle abdomen like between the ribs and belly button. The pain goes mostly on the left near the rib but then moves to the right... started yesterday out of the blue I did noticed a few days ago I had short abdominal pan. My pain is kinda dull burning sensation a bit at times and moves around all over the body
The bottom line is that pain ISNT normal, you should definitely tell a doctor your symptoms and its hard but pay attention to your bodys schedule and your stool, and the type of pains you get and where, but also for the love of GOD get a doctor that knows what theyre talking about 😭😭💜
I have the sharp pains under my ribs, when they did the x-ray I was told that it was pneumonia which is worse I guess, they gave me some pills to take and seems like it got better months later.
I’m the one who is having pain right in the center along with nausea and the occasional stabbing pain. I thought I might have something else Crohns related going on with me so I was surprised when my gastroenterologist said it was my gallbladder. But what you said here fit me to a T. I’m glad the little booger is coming out this week! Thanks for your video!
Glad I could help. Hope u feel better soon!
How are you feeling?
Better in some respects. I’m not having the pain I was having before. But my visits to the bathroom are far more frequent and eating anything fatty is a really bad idea. I don’t think I’m going to try a keto diet any time soon!
I had my first debilitating gallstone attack at 6 months pregnant. It came over me all of a sudden as a debilitating pain in my back that radiated to wrap around my torso. The best way to describe it was as if a vice were clamped around my spine that just kept tightening for hours on end.
Ouch!
Just changing my diet helped alot. Cutting out greasy fried foods, sweets and replacing with fruits such as apples, pears, bananas, pineapple and lemon water ect. I had 3 attacks. The 1st one was like a heart attack and lasted about 30 min. The 2nd was 8 hrs as if someone was kicking me in the stomach. All the time not knowing the problem. When i felt the 3rd one i rushed to the emergency room and 10 hrs later after a sonagram they said i was passing a stone and that i had sludge. When they gave me ibupropin straight into my IV the pain went away. I guess it relaxed the duct and the stone passed. Been 3 years since i had a major attack. But i do get some pain when i stray from my diet for awhile.
Peppermint tea can help with the pain too and hot lemon 🍋
I have All these Symptoms. That's Why I went to See doctor and imaging appointment
"Vegas" "doom psh doom psh doom pish" coolest doctor i ever learned from in my life
I’m male, I have to have my gallbladder removed. My pain is like somebody is standing on my chest, I get a fever and chills, really nauseous. Horrible back pain too. And it only ever hits me while I’m sleeping, wakes me up, keeps me up.
did you get any relief? if you have your gall bladder try chancapiedra in therapuetic amounts before doing the surgery. LIke 2-3g every couple hours.
@@isaacjmay I got it removed, problem solved. I tried holistic remedies for a year but like most things the effort slipped and I needed fixed ASAP
@NINA OSBORNE I had mine removed
@@apatriot1762 since having it removed have you been able to go back to normal far as what you eat etc???
@@markedwards502 honestly I can eat anything without a fear of pain, however I lost any form of bowel movement schedule, constant diarrhea. I was nothing like this prior to having it removed, literally a close bathroom is on my mind 24/7
I've had this same pain for years. I've seen maybe 10 different doctors about this and they can't find the issue. Yet, I'm getting more information from this video than those doctors. Same cramping pain, right upper quadrant just below my rib cage. It makes me question the for profit American medical system.
Same exact scenario here. Doctors can’t figure it out and I had several test done. They just shrug their shoulders. This dr on this video describes my pain perfectly in the same area. Where to go from here? Idk
Ive had this about 3yrs ago, kept going to my GP, had a camara down my throat, one where the sun don't shine, an ultra scan, blood tests, etc, in and out of the hospital, for appointments, and rushed in due to pain, yet they never listened to what my body was telling me, and seemed to be looking in all the wrong places, supposedly they couldnt find anything wrong, I got fed up with my dr's, and took it upon myself to fix it. Long story short, I self medicated with a course of antibiotics, paracetamol, and laxatives. It eventually went away. Three weeks ago, and 3yrs later, here in the present day. I got what I can only describe as severe muscle crap pain, right under my lowest rib, on the right hand side, 3 or 4 times, in the past fortnight. I now have a constant, dull, knarly pain in exactly the same place, goes straight through into my back, lack of appetite, sweating loads, no sickness, I dont feel hot or cold, but the slightest activitiy, and I sweat like a pig. Dr's seemed to be fixated on my bowel last time. I kept saying its gallstones, but they just seemed annoyed that I was saying this, now im certain it is. Could I try getting rid of it the same as last time, or should I scream at my GP, who is absolutely useless. I dont like to self heal/medicate or google illnesses etc, but when your GP doesn't help, what should I do please? Thank you for any advice or help. Steve
Ive got the same pain right side just under the ribs and straight thru to that exact spot on my back. Ive also got crohn's disease and the docs always blame that but crohns doesnt make me nauseous and certainly doesnt radiate to my back. Ive bet theyve been treating me for the wrong disease.
Get a ultrasound or catscan.but might need gallbladder removed.
I've been having pain for several months, had a HIDA scan, and my results show the gallbladder functioning at 18%. We didn't immediately jump to surgery because I've also been having pain on my left side. Had an upper GI to be safe and found nothing but some mild reflux. My surgery is scheduled soon.
I don't know if all my issues are a result of the gallbladder, but I've already been to the ER twice with chest pains. Ended up getting a heart cath just to make sure I was negative for blockages. No one explained the vagus nerve to me. Brilliant video. Thanks so much!
How did your surgery go? Did it heal all your symptoms you were talking about?
I also have a malfunctioning gulbladder at 13% I have pain on my right side and moves to my back down my lumbar and up my right side and in my neck...my pain is dull achy and burning and I cant sleep on my right side. I've had ultrasound and hyda scan no gallstones, or infection just not functioning right I did discover I have fatty liver too ...my surgery is scheduled in 2 weeks I wish you the best
This is amazing. Thank you. I thought it was my heart, but I must have gone through chronic cholecysistitis, and maybe it's acute now. Getting an ultrasound asap. Explaining in simple terms clarified so much. Definitive video for gallbladder pain and symptoms.
I just got done spending a week in the hospital for what I was treating as back spasms for six months. The pain would begin in the middle of my back, then would work down to my entire abdomen, no nausea. I didn't find any correlation between what I ate and the attacks. There were actually 2 blockages, one at the liver, and another where the bile duct meets the small intestine. I now have a gallbladder drain for a few more weeks (they said 4-6 weeks total) and a stint in my bile duct which I will need removed after they remove my gallbladder. My body had actually gone septic because I waited so long. You're right the symptoms can be very strange, I was in and out of the chiropractor for what I thought was a herniated disc. My back pain went away when they put the drain in. Thanks for the video, I'm sure it has helped many people.
Sounds eerily similar. I just went to Doctors today. Sent home with Muscle Relaxers for back pain. It is doing nothing. Ughh. I have no correlation to when I eat as well. Dull ache in front of my RUQ when I sleep. Maybe I should request some blood work. Pain is inRUQ and radiates to side and back!
did u experience any weight loss?
@@SandwedgeMon im having this a year now and it’s getting worse. 4 months into this started losing weight. no doc has mentioned anything about a possible gb infection even though i constantly tell them of the burning sensations along the right side of my abdomen and now having right shoulder pain and weakness but also a bit of left shoulder pain too. just had to go to the ER yesterday for crazy heart palpitations, weakness and the pains on my right side increased. they took blood, checked my heart and monitored me for several hrs. also did a chest x-ray. bloodwork came back with liver enzymes all normal and they said nothing’s wrong with my heart. today i feel the same as yesterday. they didn’t even recommend a specialist for me to see. ive lost about 35-38 lbs since last november and i’m not looking good. who should i see???
Did you get your gallbladder removed?
@@tjgrafiks Sorry, just noticed your reply. No, I didn't.
I got really ill about six months ago. Had enormous stress and developed diarrhea, extreme nausea. I felt so ill I made my will and found someone to take my dogs. I didn't have a doctor and being a "new" patient I made an appointment but couldn't get in for two months so I started researching.
I first started taking zeolite powder and that reduced the nausea. I thought I had liver or pancreatic cancer but was nauseated on an empty stomach. I then discovered I had a bad gallbladder caused by the stress I was under. I cut out nuts and that helped alot because I was eating nuts all day long. I started taking Tudca and that reduced the diarrhea. I added half a green apple and half a grapefruit per day. I was eating one meal a day but the nausea was the worst on an empty stomach so I ate two meals a day. I still had alot of pressure and didn't feel great and read "herbs" help but couldn't find out what kind. I had some herb tinctures from Dr. Morse Health Club I had but stopped taking months before. I started taking the herb tinctures again and the pressure was gone in one day. I feel so much better, not 100% but close to 80%. I added zinc and trace minerals to my water.
The pain of it is so bad you think your having a Heart Attack an u think your dying, this Dr isn't describing it correctly.
Anita , you’re absolutely right about gallbladder pain. Felt like a bus sitting on my chest, terrible shoulder pain. Sickness. I suffered for months before diagnosis. My skin was yellow also.
After I had the operation they said I had fragmented stones.
And my gallbladder had been diseased for a long time. The pain was so severe I hardly had any energy.
@@karenimran3349 Yeah that's bad and you suffered for months with this, people die from this. I had my surgery the old fashion way before the Laproscopy.
Anita Sanford I almost had to have open surgery , due to fragmented stones. I think they had a bit of difficulty. But thankfully I didn’t. Sorry for you that you did. It must be so much worse with open surgery.
@@karenimran3349 How do you feel now? If you don't mind my asking.
Sarah M Well I have other issues with my health now. Not connected to gallbladder. But, a year after I had the gallbladder out I had to go back to see the surgeon as I still had pain. He informed me although the gallbladder was removed you still have scar tissue. But I find not eating fried food etc make a difference. Thank you Sarah for asking.
I have had the pain for 6 years ... I can’t take this anymore... it sucks!! Even eating healthy don’t help
take chancapiedra in insane amounts (2-3grams every couple hours for a couple days) and see if it helps. Just cured my stepdad and they wanted to take his gallbladder out like immediately. you can get it on amazon now which is great.
@@isaacjmay the pills twice a day should work ?
I have everyday abdominal pain and much air in my abdomen, it’s about one year now the doctors don’t understand my problem, I can’t take this shot anymore
I'm so glad I found your video. I've been suffering badly with gallbladder pain for about 8 months. My pain is in the upper right quad that spreads to the middle, my shoulder and my back. At first it only hurt after eating fried or fatty foods. For the last 2 months it now begins to hurt no matter what I eat or drink. I just lay in a ball for hours in pain. Also up until 2 months ago drinking a cup of peppermint tea would ease the pain away. I'm drinking 4 cups of peppermint tea every time it hurts with very little help now. I guess its time to make an appointment. Your videos are great! Thank you!
so glad they help!!!
i'm here because I just uncoiled from my ball of pain! I was in a ball in my bed for 5 hours.. I had a routine ultrasound done before an upcoming surgery several weeks ago and they found gallstones.. I was put on a low fat diet and was doing great.. and I gave in to pizza last night :( and BOOM.. my 1st attack. Horrible!! Called the Dr. , they said to go to ER if I have a fever or go Jaundice.. that's it.. just lay there and suffer :(
@@findroots7151 j
Please someone help me, I have been suffering so bad that I don't even want to live anymore like this. Every few months, or few weeks, its sporadic, but I'll have what I call an "attack", I can't eat, drink, I puke yellow vile, and it feels like a knife is trying to come out from my abdomen. When it happens I am down for atleast 3-4 days, Most of the times, I try to stay in a hot shower because for some reason it soothes the pain, so I just stayed in a bath tub for 2 days straight, you should see the pics of the brusing on my back. A lot of times it use to be accompanied with hot and cold flashes, sweathing, and restless leg syndrome, It also blurs my vision and makes me feel like I have the energy of a 100 year old man, I basically limp to walk. I have a job to try and keep and this is really ruining my life for the last 2 years. PLease does anyone have any ideas or tips? I cannot suffer like this anymore, I can't even eat or drink, I use to be 185 lbs now im 133. oh yean and I can't have a bowel movement at all, it's like I get locked up. And sometimes a bowel movement will bring it on, it usually happens after a bowel movement that is very painful and can barely come out, and when it does, that's when the attack starts. Does anyone know what might be wrong???? i get shortness of breathe also. and a fever, nausea, everything.

What was the procedure?
How are you feeling after your gallbladder was removed?
One Saturday afternoon last June, I had a rather severe pain start in my upper abdomen. I wiggled and twisted looking for a position that wasn't too painful. Could not find one. Finally I called my wife and asked her to take me to the ER. By the time we got there, pain was about 9.5 on the 10 scale. They looked at me in the waiting room, and decided this was a cardiac problem (I have a history, and 2 stents to show for it.) Took me back real fast. X-rays and EKG, and blood tests, they could not find a heart attack. Pain was terrible. Morphine was not touching it. Finally tried dilaudid, that worked. Much hemming and hawing, a Dr from my cardiologist's practice (they are in the same building) came by, looked at the tests, and told them I did not have a heart problem. They did not agree, and held me for observation. Got a room immediately (that is not a given on a Saturday night), and had a miserable 2 days of tests and EKGs. Finally on Monday, they could not say what it was, but they were ready to release me. But, just to be sure, they did an abdominal X-ray and an ultrasound. By the time I got back to my room, I was met by a nice lady in scrubs, who introduced herself as my surgeon. Oh... After the operation, she said that my gallbladder was badly infected and gangrenous. Good thing they did the ultrasound. Better if they'd done it Saturday. Next 4 days recovering in hospital, getting an amazing variety of IV antibiotics. After all that, I recovered pretty quickly and have been OK since. Fortunately I have had few side effects.
Thanks for sharing your story. Did you get any referred pain in your jaw on either side ? Or neck or throat pain ?
@@TheNamesAkNo, nothing above the abdomen.
I had recurrent epigastric pain for two years. The last attack was six hours long and awful. First time I ever went to the ER for drugs as I assumed I was going to die. 😂 Four weeks later it was removed and I felt GREAT!
Danielle Russomanno how was the healing? I’m having symptoms not too bad just more discomfort. I’m just scared
Don't go for surgery, the alternative treatments DO work. Eat an apple a day, use the remedies mentioned above, and DO a gallbladder flush - it DOES work to remove stones and get you feeling great again! Sometimes gallbladder gets removed but the person still has symptoms and pain. Go natural!
@@dianestallings2853 sorry dont see the national remany
@@dianestallings2853 can u pls for the love of God educate me more on natural remedies?I don't want the surgery as they just saw gallstones in my bladder n i had lived in severe torture for 5 years thinking it was as a result of diagnosed h pylori induced chronic gastritis by endoscopic biopsy
I eat radishes and it prevents attacks. A radish a day keeps gall bladder attacks away!
your video was the clearest information. you are a great doctor good at communication. i have just retired as a midwife lactation consultant and child health nurse.and its great to see such good communication
I find it unusual that during a GB attack, I can not force myself to vomit (a full stomach) no matter what. It's like everything is on "lock down" and refuses to move in either direction.
EXACTLY!!! I FEEL THAT WAY NOW! I AM SUFFERING
Me for the last two weeks... off and on pain, no fever but nither my mom or I rub fevers unless we are super sick... waiting on more tests...
Great Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you thought about - Parlandealey Escaping Gallstone Process (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome one off product for learning how to eliminate Gallstones naturally without the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my old buddy Taylor at very last got astronomical results with it.
YES!!! This was totally me too.

These are my symptoms except gallbladder pain. I just have shoulder blade pain. I was thinking its stomach ulcer. Thank you.
Hi Doc. Thanks for the video. I suffered 10 yrs and finally HAD TO GO TO ER. MY PAIN WAS RIGHT UNDER MY LT BREAST THAT WAS MORE SWOLLEN THAT THE REST OF MY TUMMY. GRIPPING SPASMS, DRY HEAVES, NAUSEA, BACK PAIN. WELL THE RADIOLOGIST CALLED MY PCP AND FINALLY THE RADIOLOGIST TOLD ME THE HE AND MY PCP BOTH AGREED I WAS TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE ER. I was immediately admitted, had very fast ANTIBIOTIC IV DRIP along with nausea med. 2 days of this tx and pain injections thru IV were administered and I FINALLY met my surgeon, wonderful lady DR. She had cardiologist co me, who said I need to have 2 stints put in. Preferably before gall bladder sx. But, since my poor gall bladder was screaming more than my heart, you guessed right, sx was immediately performed and I stayed for another day in the hospital until I was cleared to go. Now, sorry for such lengthy descriptions. I had to explain. I have a question please? Is it permissible to eat salads? I thoroughly love them. I was told and thoroughly understand to avoid red meats and high fat contents. Also, Dr. Atkins meal replacement drinks have been my breakfast and lunch for awhile now. Is this ok to intake after gall bladder is removed? I do wonder if the fibromyalgia that I have will do anything to delay healing? Sending advance sincerest thank you to you for all of your videos. Have a blessed day. :)
I've performed a gallbladder flush, and I can confirm that it works.
First: My ultrasound scan showed a 4mm big polyp and sand in my gallbladder. I've had some pain, mostly at night. Sometimes I woke up due to so much pain.
Second: I've performed the flush like so: I've consumed 34 oz. of apple juice (green apples are the best, organic juice, non filtered) a day for six days continuously (use malic acid if diabetes is the problem). On the seventh day, I did not eat or drink anything after 2pm. I prepared my EPSOM salts mix: 4 tablespoons of EPSOM salts with 24 oz. spring watter and divided it on 4 parts. I've taken 1st portion at 6pm, then another portion on 8pm, at 9:30pm, I took 200ml of pure organic extra virgin cold pressed olive oil and 100 ml of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Shaked it really really good (you have to have some kind of mini shaker) and drank this mix. I followed that with another 6 oz. of watter. Immediately (2-3 minuets after) I went to bed to lie down on my right side in fetal position. Like so for about 30 min. Next morning, i took third portion of EPSOM salts at 6am, and last - fourth portion at 8am. Throughout the whole day and the next day, green little balls were excreted from my black hole :) Some were half green and half black. Very toxic stuff.
Third: Throughout these 7 days and 2 days after the flush, I've consumed only greens and very light food (soups, fruits, salads) and as much warm food as I could. I HAVEN'T CONSUMED ANY COLD drink !! Forget eggs, forget flesh food, forget dairy products, greasy foods, sugar, spices, nuts. FORGET COKE !!! These are all bad for your gallbladder. And I've consumed lots of beet juice (I've mixed grapefruit with 100% organic beet juice - which is paradise for your liver and it also tastes good ;) ).
Fourth: I took MRI scan (with contrast) 17 days later. Scans showed no signs of 4 mm polyp (which was obviously a cholesterol polyp - such polyps represent 50% of all polyps) and no sand at all. The radiologist advised to repeat ultrasound (not MRI) scan after 6 months. Just in case :)) For me, it was mission accomplished :) All I can say to those who claim that this flush doesn't work and to all very smart surgeons (a.k.a. wannabes): IN YOUR FACE, suckers !!! :P
Fifth: remember, your liver is a factory that cleans your body constantly. If liver fails, all hell breaks loose and you end up with numerous and serious, very serious health related problems (yes, cancer as well). Your belly reflects the status of your liver health. Eat healthy and avoid junk food (
have discipline), exercise, go out to woods, breathe fresh air and enjoy life. Your body will be very grateful. Last but not least: Hipocrates quote: "All disease begins in the gut". He was right !
I’ve been feeling constant pain on the upper right side of stomach, below the rib and even on it. Do you think this flush would help. I have 3 very small stones in the gallbladder got ultrasound done. Pls help. I’m too tired of the pain.
I know something was wrong with me like over a year before I had to have my g-bladder removed in an emergency surgery. 1) I couldn't belch instead it would be like 4-8 little mini silent burps
2) I gained like 15-20lbs out of nowhere in such a short amount of time I thought it was because I was coming up on turning 40yrs old and from a little depression from 2 friends dying and another really good friend moved then another went to prison..again😑 3)within 30minutes any type of dairy products i consumed had me running for the toilet and its was never an in-n-out even honestly I had a craft tote and TV tray for a table in my bathroom for those times...4) this is grosser than #3 just a heads up.. My "cycle" went from 3-5days a month to 14-30+days at a time and it was like a crime scene for most of the cycle. As soon as my g-bladder was removed it went back to 3-5days again. 5) my from my knees to my toes would swell up so bad that it was hard to wear my shoes or even walk sometimes.
Then I started to get a mild case of heartburn one day. I've had heartburn maybe 5 times in my whole life and three days later I couldn't eat it went through like 2 bottles of pepto in less that 24hrs and my neighbor was nice enough to give me a hydrocodone pill that I split into 4 pieces because I am not a pill person. Thats when I went to the ER at UMC here in Las Vegas,NV. My liver had decided it was gonna start to swallow my g-bladder and I guess its suppose to be a green color but mine was totally white. I didn't have gallstones which I guess was really unusual.
Thanks for your story
I'm currently having these attacks like 2-3 nights apart. A huge burning knot below my breastbone that travels around my ribs to thr back and a few hours later and a LOT of pain meds and deep heat later it settles as a throbbing in the right corner of the chest. It's horrendous. I'm crying every night with this. No fever or nausea but they did find two gallstones.
Thank you I needed to hear that, I was beginning to panic but the symptoms you've described is exactly what I have.
Just had my gall bladder removed 2 days ago. See your doctor and get an ultrasound. It is painful first day after surgery but is better each day.
@@anthonyzudyk6386 what was ur symptoms please? Because doctor keep saying isnt.100% for the pain to go
Symptoms thst my gall bladder was bad?
I was having upper abdominal
Pain. Nausea. And weird back pain. Had ultrasound and they showed stones in my gall bladder. This pain happemed about 5 times over 4 months and finally decided I need to go doctor.
I feel much better havingnit removed few weeks ago. Sore but not unbearable. Eatting Normal and feeling much better.
@@anthonyzudyk6386 I had this, but they left it up to me to decide if I wanted the surgery. But I'm unsure, or don't really know enough about it. But this videos and reading the comments have been interesting. Though I did say I would think about it as I was unsure. I wasn't at the best place so I think it was best for now to leave it. But when I feel better with myself I might come back to it. I have been suffering from anxiety and which of course also means surgery makes me anxious. I guess I'm trying to work out which to sort first with the least amount of problems but I end up going around in circles. So I figured I had to sort anxiety first.
I suffered with my gallbladder and bile duct for over a year!!! I was finally able to get it removed last month and I’m so happy it’s gone!!
I’ve been to the ER twice, rounds of labs drawn, lung Ca. Screening, stress test, after 4 months of this madness, my sister in law suggested it may be GB.. today, I’m going for the ultra sound!!
Well, the ultra sound shows everything is normal, other than a small cyst on the lower portion of R kidney. Unrelated to symptoms ..
Wait my ultrasounds came back clear but I’m having a lot of upper quadrant pain that radiates through the back and chills only on my right side. Did you ever find out what happened?
Do the hida scan my brother
Try the hida scan test
Read about taking care of your Liver and Gallbladder without surgery. I had gallbladder attacks since I was in my teens and I never knew what they were from and they are not fun. I found out and I learned what is bad to eat and what is good to eat. I also did many liver/ gallbladder flushes and I never had another attack and I am healthier in many other ways.
What helps the most?
What flushes did u do ..!
This is the best video I've watched so far and I've watched at least a dozen by now.
It's been over a week now...intermitant upper right abdomen pain radiating through to the back. Extreme bloating.
Irregular bowels. Also pinching type pain in the same abdominal area.
- able to calm it most of the time with a warm cloth or heated pad.
- been staying away from Rich food
- drinking lots of water with lemon,
Hello Deb how is your condition now? I have the same issue just like yours I feel intermittent pinching/stabbing pain in my Upper right abdomen. Hope to hear from you.
Same here. Bloating and lots of gas 2 days after the initial attack. Also pinching pain that gets pretty intense. Nothing like the initial attack though
This video and another video about cleansing probably just saved me from having my gallbladder removed. I REALLY appreciate this video. VERY HELPFUL. God bless you for putting this up man. You rock. I was having the pain in the CENTER like you talk about 3 min and 45 second in. Doctors, do not seem to be aware of this pain leading to stones. You saved me man!
J Turner May I ask what was the other video you watched? Thanks!
J Turner what cleanse did you do?
What cleanse did you use? Is it still working? Just started feeling cramps or burps in my GB.
I had them a few years back. It is so painful, your abdomen contacts and it’s difficult to breathe. It never failed to have me on my knees crying at how painful it was. I had nausea and was vomiting.
Did you get surgery?
This is exactly how my pain is, abdomen contracting and hurts to breath in. And after eating a nice meal I'd sit there worrying for the rest of the night hoping that awful pain wouldn't reoccur! Lol it was taking over my life! Can't wait to get this thing removed!
@michaelayres795 that's where I am now
On July 21st, I was diagnosed with gallstones, pancreatitis, and spots on my ovaries. My doc said don’t be surprised if you get two surgeries in the near future.
Bile salts help before and after gallbladder removal surgery! I had mass pain in Er then almost constantly for 2 months. Started Solaray Super Digestaway that has bile extract etc in it. Amazingly the pains stopped!!! Mine is very distended w a bunch of stones, so had to schedule surgery. Good video, Dr. Berg has good videos on that too.
God bless n help us all! 🙏💜

I had GI scans and endoscopy and something else I can't remember but turns out a simple ultrasound will show if you have a problem in your gallbladder.
@@TT-js4jn not always. My ultrasound came back normal HIDA scan did not
Thank you! This is the best explanation ever. I have had pain on and off. Nothing severe but finally went to the ER to have it checked out since I knew it just didn’t feel right . CT scan, blood work, pointed to gallstones and gallbladder/pancrease causing the issue. Diagnosis was gallstone pancreatitis. My pain was in the middle and towards the left side of my upper abdomen, not on the right side. Gallbladder surgery is scheduled in a few weeks.
Please I'd like to suggest taking a parasite medicine a man who was told he had cancer and it was everywhere in all his organ he was told he had 3 months to live they did chemo and it didn't work he took it upon himself and took a parasite medicine he was cured and it is 5 dollars fenbendozole or ivermectin either one will have major benefits he was the only one who took the parasite medicine for dogs and he was the only one cured out of all the patients his is not the only one that has a story like this neither one is harmful as a matter of fact ivermectin has shown 2 not only cure cov. It also prevent it its been coming out that it also shows promising results for cancer and if u look it up always read comments on it because they tried to bad mouth it and prevent people from knowing about it I know u r not saying u have cancer but if u do research u can find that parasites are causing all the disease that we see today people actually take it and all have said they never get sick back in the day people did routine parasite cleans faithfully people aren't aware of what they can do to our bodies they take all the nutrients from our food depleting us of all nutrients and vitamins and they cause nightmare depression anxiety allergies they were the actual cause of deaths during the war ivermectin won't cause any harm to you u just go off the weight u don't have anything to loose only can gain even if it doesn't work I feel comfortable 2 say guaranteed to benefit from it they tried to make it impossible to obtain on internet and they made it were u have to have prescription for it because people caught on to how beneficial it was and it's a known parasite medicine for animals and humans a lady was told she had brain cancer they did a biopsy pulled back a bit of her skull and found it was parasite there was a man where I live who had to have them surgically removed from his liver and other organs he was infested we all have them Dr's just aren't realizing that they travel through food pets and people they are a global problem I urge you to please look into it and if u ask a Dr I'd be hesitant to take what they say to heart because they aren't to knowledgeable about it especially when it dirt cheap because their medicine makes them money
Thank you for this video. 😊 It so confirmed my attack. I didn’t know what it was at first. Pain, nausea, vomiting, chills, etc. Little nauseous even 2 weeks later, pharmacist suggested I check out my gallbladder. She had hers out and she’s so glad she did. Got an ultrasound and yes, gallstones. Wish you could take care of mine 6 years post video (3 informative videos down👍🏼). 🤕👨🏼⚕️🩹
Great video man, I learnt more than reading a hundred articles!
Thank you so much for this video. It confirmed my suspicion that I was experiencing gallbladder attacks. Everything else I watched/read said pain is always in the right side, but mine was only localized in the center of my upper abdomen and through my back. If you hadn't said that specific thing I probably wouldn't have gone in to see a Doctor! Getting this damn thing out next week and can't wait.
lindsay resendez how are you doing so far? I have the same kind of pain!
@@phillyceramics8131 I had surgery 2-3 months ago and at first occasionally experienced some biliary colic if i ate heavier meals, but it still wasn't near as painful as an actual attack. It has since stopped, however I have noticed my digestion has changed therefore I need to watch what/how much I eat. Would still choose surgery 1000x over ever experiencing another gallbladder attack!

I lasted for a year with "attacks".
first symptom: heart burn
second symptom: pain in the armpit crease and lost strength in my right arm
third symptom: hot flash (this was great because this would come first then the other symptoms would come a little after the hot flash started)
fourth symptom: felt like someone was grabbing my shoulder blades and trying to twist and rip them off. ( could not sit or stand, no position helped)
these happened at all hours of the day. could be hours after eating or before eating. it really did not matter the time or day the attacks would just come when they wanted too

That's a long pain you put yourself and gallbladder for way too long, they will need to remove it because the gallbladder already took a severe beating.

I hope you were or been at least taking Ox Bile Salts and/or TUDCA pills to help you out and a very clean Diet with absolutely hardly any Fat (specially Saturated Fat).Just Oatmeal,lentils,beans,brown or white rice,and vegetables with a little bit of Olive Oil to stimulate the Bile movement to clear as much as possible those Cholesterol stones (made from Saturated Fat and high sugars/carbs)..Also, easy on the proteins too.
@@Eros13adios strangley relieved you said brown rice, i ate a bunch for like 2 or 3 days so far and ive been paranoid because i get alot of pain too, because i got my gallbladder out, literally the only other things ive been eating is like black beans and beyond meat, sometimes plantains which probably doesn’t help because fried stuff, it’s complicated
Going for a HIDA today. Much appreciate your video, as I now have a better understanding of what is possibly going on. Thank you.
My Hida was negative and a few months later my gallbladder was infected. Hida seems to be a poor diagnostic tool
@@dskokos77Yeah my GI doctor told me not to get the HIDA scan as it could cause an attack and that seeing sludge on the ultrasound and the RUQ pain was enough evidence for a surgeon to take it out.

Was just hospitalized last week for this. Hopefully get my gallbladder out soon
Thank you for explaining in a very plain and simple way. I have been doing a lot of research, trying to understand whats going on with me. Im suspecting it a gall bladder issue since both my parents had theirs removed. You were right on the money with the symptoms! My pain is upper right quadrant,but I feel most of my pain on my back. I sometimes wonder if its a kidney issue. No vomitting but occasional nausea.Thanks so much!!
This is just how I feel 😓 back pain is wicked, feeling sick and tightness in chest. ER twice and stay in Hospital they say nothing. But, it took 3 Drs to see I had chronic hip pain and had it taken care off. Wish you were my Dr
@@Tinkerbell-zs3cr was the hip pain caused by your gallbladder? I have had hip pain for 4 years and I'm now starting to have gallbladder symptoms
Thank you, I had a rotten gallbladder, that's what the surgery said. For a year I was walking around with a dead gallbladder and the only signs were back pain. Which I always had back pain my whole life...
Omfg 😐 I’m surprised you didn’t have septic shock. Glad they got that out of there.
Have time on my hands awaiting an appointment following an ER visit. Watched several of these, this was great. Thank you for explaining it.
Thank you. This video was excellent, and for me, I needed to see you show the areas of pain with the demonstration on your body. So many videos I watch just state that pain is upper quadrant, without showing the four places you show - center front, under breast, center back, and under shoulder blade are exactly where my pain is - with some shoulder pain, too. I am currently experiencing extreme pain in shoulder blade, and am waiting to see my gallbladder doctor in a week. Thanks again.
you explained everything so we'll and easier terms! thank you, keep making them!!
OMG i can’t wait till surgery block come and review the subjects from your videos thank you so much
I'll have lots more up soon!
Howd it go
I have it all except fever n vomiting thank u I learned why my shoulder blade hurt
Thank yo very much for the information. My mother's is getting a surgery because of stones and infection in her gallbladder and I live in an other country so I'm searching for good information about this.
Great Video Doc, I love the way you explain medical problems, God Bless.
Do you actually talk to your patients about the symptoms they are experiencing and listen to what they say they feel like? These are really vague, textbook regurgitations. The drawing is good, though
i have never met a doctor who truely listens. They always seems to follow book protocol
I presented with gallstones with epigastric pain. It was like my chest was being crushed. They first had to make sure I wasn’t having a heart attack.
Thanks for sharing. I am having all those symptoms except for vomiting. Going for ultrasound tomorrow.
Greydi Zupko did you find out what it was
@@loveandpeace2 my gallbladder, liver and spleen were fine. I had covid19 8 weeks ago. They found lesions in my colon and inflammation in the stomach. A small mass in top of right kidney, nothing serious. Dr. Thinks it was all do to the virus. I am taking carafate 10ml and gaviscan. Feel a little better. Now going for a endoscopy and colonascopy June2. For now they just think it was damages from covid19.
Greydi Zupko congrats on your recovery! question, did it affect your breathing even after recovering ?
It's funny that I came across this video; I am headed to my PCP in around 25 minutes because I am experiencing very common symtoms of gallstones.
Funny you came across the video when searching gallstones
Thank you so much, you made me confirm the issues I have been having
Me too!
I have done my surgery its 3rd day staying in home after laparoscopic, hope best for my future life.
So, what if your hospital constantly sends you home, blood work seems normal, but still in that much pain that you can’t function?
Thanku so much for the great information and for simplifying the video. I have a gp appointment for next week. I've been suffering for years with nausea and recently started getting pain in RUQ bloating Upper back pain. Thanku again.
Did you get a feeling like big bubbles going into your back.
I've had RUQ pain since I was pregnant with my oldest daughter. Shes about to turn 18 years old. My OB at the time said the pain was likely an internal bruise from having a big baby kicking my ribs. Ok....but I still have that pain plus gallstones and gallbladder disease runs in my family. I can't seem to get a Dr to believe me or look into it any further. That area of my RUQ on the outside, my skin etc, alternates between no feeling or that tingly feeling like when your foots asleep.
Ask for a ultrasound to see any gallstones
This is awesome but it was frightening coz I thought I had gallstones but I don't have back pain I don't vomit
I’m sitting here in the ER and your video just helped me Big time. Thank you
Very informative! Thanks for sharing!
Whenever I eat greasy food like fair food or something like that I throw up within a couple hours of eating it. People have told me that could mean I have issues with my gallbladder. Is that true?
Yes go to a Dr . I'm in the ER right now waiting to get my gallbladder yanked out .
Same as me and when I drink orange juice immediately after, I vomit it back
Glad I came across this video need new stomach doc for me it start off as random sharp stabbing pain rite thru upper center stomach and vomiting like someone stuck a knife threw it after I eat severe bloating my doc is a moron nothing else can explain this also chills and sweating can be pancreas or gallbladder I have severe nausea and it's unexplained
Big Erns Brew how are you after the surgery? I was also diagnosed with gallstones.
You helped me get familiar with lots of terminology on my next gd specialist appointment. Thanks
This was interesting to watch. For months now ive had horrible nausea with a sharp pain in the center of my stomach that shoots up my body. I can't keep food down without gagging for hours. The last month I've lost 15 pnds from the pain because it gets worse when I eat so I try to eat when I can. Everyone I live with tells me it's acid reflex and I am over reacting but the shoulder pain you mentioned got me to reconsider going to the dr because when I have the pain its so sharp it makes my left shoulder hurt and I always think I'm having a heart attack.
Im making a Dr appointment now.
For once youtube recommended something useful.
Thank you for making this video.
I find eating a ZERO fat diet keeps the symptoms away. For me, just the smallest amount of fat triggers the pain that can last 5 to 10 hours.
Be careful with greens too. Right before I got mine out I couldn't even eat lettuce. As it gets worse the list of foods that affect it will get longer and longer.
What do you eat, then??
@@Baggypants1989 did you ever get gallbladder surgery?
@@lovegodsomuch8094 I didn't. I couldn't. The pain was so bad I couldn't function. I lost over 100 lbs. in a matter of 6 months.
@@dennisallende7214 10 years ago in January.
Dull pain ( R upper Q), nausea, bloating, super itchy all over body, very tired, lethargic, jaundice
Well that might be the liver. Hopefully you went to a doctor.
@@heidikarinen563 I had surgery exactly 1 year ago today removed gallbladder. Am fully recovered back to normal. Thanks
This is me exactly! Thank you for this. I shared these symptoms with the specialist and MRI confirmed it.
I am now recovering from my GB surgery. Thank you for this explanation.
How have you been since your gallbladder surgery?
You are helping so many souls.
Blessings Thank You!
thank u so much!
I am haveing this cramping burning pain on right side. This is almost constant cramping now . I did notice it hits me walking and siting .I had fever 1 or 2 times. never had much chills.
I hope you had it checked
Thank you for this information, everything that you speak of I am currently feeling I have my doctors appointment tomorrow afternoon and this has been very helpful and informative I appreciate everything that you were doing Mr. Parker.
Im having mild inflammation pain going away after an attack (cholecystitis),mild nausea,warm sensation in the middle upper back..Im taking Ox Bile Salts and TUDCA (which are helping) right now, but im seeing a surgeon team next week because my doctor told me he thinks i need to get my gallbladder removed.
Did you have surgey? How did it go?
@@genacat4599
Actually No....
I actually did dissolve my Cholesterol-made stones with TUDCA (Or Ox Bile Salts if you can't afford TUDCA)...And a combination with "Spanish Black Radish" pills...
Both have studies to back them up to dissolve Gallstones..
I tried Chanca Piedra and I can't say if it helped, but after few months it begun to bother my kidneys..I think Chanca Piedra is more appropriate to dissolve Kidney Stones (not Gallstones)..
It will take months to slowly dissolve them..There's no quick fix.
each month that passes you will noticed you're feeling much better..
Cut back on Sugars and refined carbs, because if you have a high sugar in your blood,they do contribute to Gallstone formation and as well your risk of developing High Bad Cholesterol.
