Gallbladder problems?Please read.

[l.89]

Okay so 2 days ago i was having sharp pains underneath my right ribcage. then my whole abdomine started to cramp up. my stomach filled with gas and air and i thought i would have D* and V* but i took some pepto and slept the day away. Now today i feel ill again. its just a general ill filling. no D* or V* just feeling ill. This has happend to me in the past and i remember feeling ill for a few days after. Could this be my gallbladder? And if so what should i do to relive the symptoms? Please leave your opinions I appreciate it. Oh and happy new year!!

Could be your gallbladder, but the only way to know for sure is to see a doctor. If they suspect a problem they can order tests. I had an ultrasound on mine- the easiest test to have ever! As for what to do, I'm not sure but I think avoiding fatty foods would help (since the gallbladder stores bile which is used to digest fat). If you do get pain or cramps again, heat can help (a hot bath, or a hot water bottle), and you could take OTC painkillers.
