About 6 months ago i was diagnosed with a large stone in my gallbladder after having 3 very bad attacks in a short space of time, i had a scan and it showed 1 large stone, i was offered to be referred to have it out or try a diet change, i decided on the diet change as i am overweight and ate a bad diet, so since then i have lost 24lbs and have been much better, no attacks since then, but i still get pain sometimes in my stomach if i overeat, and as in last night was woken with acid and pain (not as bad as an attack but) and this morning it is still not "right" uncomfortabel and indegestion, I have managed to convince myself now that i have something much worse, and was wondering can the gallstone
can cause a varieity of different problems. If it blocks bile outflow from the gallbladder it can cause pain and people also report nausea. In fact, people are sometimes diagnosed with acid reflux
