Gallstones Symptoms | Treatment | Removal

Before we discuss gallstones symptoms, we should define what a gall stone is. A gallstone is matter that collects in the gall bladder or gall bladder ducts or anywhere in the biliary tree. Gallstones can vary in size from about the size of a grain of sand to about the size of a golf ball. About 80 percent of gall stones are made up of cholesterol with the other 20 percent being made up of other particles found in the bile.

Most people with gallstones don’t have problems unless a stone or stones block one or both ducts.

If you have gallstones you may not experience any symptoms at all. Some gallstones symptoms that may be experienced are:

• mild stomach pains often just below the rib cage.
• nausea or vomiting.
• you may be jaundiced (yellowing of the skin) if the bile duct blocks.
• back pain usually between the shoulder blades is felt by some people.
• pain under the right shoulder.
• chest pain similar to a heart attack is felt by some.

These pains can vary from mild to severe and might last for a few minutes to several hours. Immediately consult with your medical professional if you experience sharp pains or have chest pains. These gallstone “attacks” often have pain similar in intensity to that caused by kidney stones. The attacks usually happen at night and after a meal that’s particularly heavy on fat.

Surgery to remove the gallbladder is often the solution traditionally used by the mainstream medical community. For many people, life will not change much with its absence but some will have their quality of life reduced permanently.

A friend of mine had his gall bladder surgically removed and he cannot do anything that doesn’t include having a bathroom close by because he’s living with what feels like a constant case of the flu and up to 30 bowel movements in a single day.

I was diagnosed with gallstones several years ago and have only had one “attack” but I was told surgery is NOT an option for me because I’m paralyzed and overweight. Thanks to “The Gallstone Survival Guide: How To Treat and Prevent Gallstones Naturally” I have viable alternatives.
