    My GP misdiagnosed me with “epigastric abdominal pain” essentially blowing me off for five months. Granted it was “only” recurring pain in my stomach, it was chronic, not really worsening in pain. I kind of figured I was overdoing it on the Advil. Then one night the BF and I were sharing a banana split and on my second bite I keeled over in the most intense pain. We drove to the ER and I got down on my knees and thrust my stomach into the edge of the seat of the plastic chair- it was embarrassing as frick but it was the pressure on my stomach that relieved any pain. They gave me a shot of morphine and I barfed all over the poor ultrasound tech. And she knew exactly what it was before she even saw the stones. The next morning the pain was gone and they figured one was stuck in the duct. Took it out that evening and to this day my body cannot make up its mind whether it wants to tolerate dairy or not- some days it constipates me, others I immediately get the trots. I definitely agree about going to the doctor to check it out, from my experience gall bladder issues manifest over a period of time but can also be mistaken as something as innocuous as simple stomach irritation from whatever....Let’s hope that’s all it is with you!!! Feel better!

    thank you so much!

    It's been a while since I had my gallbladder out, but I don't remember any running to the bathroom issues. It was painful--horribly painful--and sometimes I'd force myself to throw up because then I'd feel a bit better. It would keep me awake most of the night. Gallbladder attacks tended to be tied to eating (overeating) fried, fatty, or greasy foods.
    If you think this is your issue, consult your physician. Or, basically, since you have some issue/concern, consult your physician!
    Good luck.

    thank you for responding! If it continues I will.
