| What should I do?
Asking for input here...
I've been eating the most horrible fatty foods, and greasy, for years.... Had a gallstone attack some time back, a year, didn't know what it was. Recently, I've been eating like a teenager, and have had quite a few in a month, guess I got my gallbladder in an uproar with the constant horridly bad food.
Been low fat dieting for over 2 weeks and have not another attack.....
So, my question is: Can this be controlled with diet? Has anyone tried that?
Because I'll be honest, after reading what I'm reading, surgery may not necessarily solve my problems,and can even make them worse.
During an attack, I do not have nausea or vomiting only pain. ALL my blood work was normal, and the sonagram did not show thickening of the gallbladder wall, just some sludge and stones.
So, in general, MOST people have gallstones, I've read, but if they're asymptomatic, the docs tend to leave them alone. So how about if you have them, change your diet and they go asymptomatic??? Leave them alone then also? Basically, I'm saying, if most people have them and they don't cause problems, but my stupidity caused mine to act up, if I clean up my act, i.e. diet and they go asymptomatic, should the gallbladder still be removed??? In your opinion.
After all, the Post cholecystoctemy syndrome numbers range from 4% to 40%..... 40% is rather high. WHY the descrepincy between those two numbers???
