A temporary relief remedy is 2 tsp Braggs Apple Cider vinegar in 8 oz of apple juice, really helped my gallbladder which really acted up after Tx. Drink it 1/2 an hour before eating. It have me immediate relief. Hope your issue is nothing serious.

There's a specific test for the gallbladder.  You have to find out the ejection fraction rate. I had no gallstones and a gallbladder with 8% ejection fraction....out came the gallbladder! Pain free since! Do watch your diet! High fats can still cause discomfort. Pepcid with 1,100 bicarbonate--it's a prescription med taken once a night helps tremendously! Also sleep slightly elevated so the acids do not destroy your esophagus.

See the doc! : )

Have you described your symptoms to your PCP? Could be acid reflux or a lot of things. Have you tried antacids toms etc. maybe prilosec?

Best to speak with your doctor though rather than self medicate. Only way the doctor knew I had gall stones was on abdominal ultrasound. Have you had one yet?

feel better soon
