"Do I Have Gallstones?"
by Tifany-Wals, Jan 16, 1999 12:00AM
I am 5 1/2 months pregnant. Over the past 2 months, I have had vomiting with severe back pain. I do not have dry heaves, and the food has not been digested much. About 5 minutes later, the pain is gone. I've noticed that its certain foods that cause this, which are tomato-based products, chocolate, acidic fruits, and other foods, such as cucumbers and large amounts of protein. The last few times it has occured it was after riding in a car for a long distance. My worry is that it is not pregnancy-related, but a condition of having gall stones. Please advise.

dear Tiffany,
based on the information that you provide, i do not believe that your symptoms are due to gallbladder disease. An ultrasound study can be done without risk to determine whether you do have gallstones. IF the vomitus consists of food eaten several hours previously, gastric dysmotility must be considered.
