Last week I started getting the worst pain in my upper right abdomen. It was a thudding wrenching pain that got especially worse after eating. After two consecutive ER trips, they did an ultrasound and found sludge. They told me that I needed to schedule an appt. with a surgeon, which I have, to get his opinion. My appt. is on Tuesday. Daily, I have been eating lots of veggies and fruit, drinking apple juice, taking turmeric and honey, taking apple cider vinegar, and eating way less fat. I have also started castor oil. I constantly have gas any time I eat, although the pain has gotten less. But now I sometimes have pain on my left abdomen too! I was wondering if I need to be really worried because I read that constant gas is not a symptom of gallbladder sludge and also that gallbladder complications can lead to pancreas problems. Is gas a symptom of gallbladder sludge? And also I'm on Depakote and I heard this could cause pancreas problems. Could this be causing all my problems? Any advice would be appreciated!
