Gallbladder Problems Pain In Back By Right Shoulder

[gordiescotland1]

I am waiting to get my gallbladder out I have been eating sensibly but I think I made a mistake yesterday. I went out for lunch with a friend and opted for the only sensible thing a bowl of vegetable soup with crusty bread. It came and it had 2 individual butter things and I had that with the bread. Well last night it started feeling nausea and this pain over my right shoulder in my back took 2 cocodamol got some sleep but I am going to take another 2 now but it is awful could it have been the butter that caused this

Unlikely.
Was it a Polish restaurant?

Yes it could be - as has been said before many times - fat can and will set you off - I cannot eat any fat so no biscuits, cakes, bacon etc etc.

You may be waiting a long time to have your gallbladder out and even when it is out you will still have to watch your fat intake.

Have you got gallbladder problems Islay and did you get pain in the back ?

[Islay]

I have awful Gallbladder problems - my pain is in the chestbone area though.

I saw my doc this afternoon and she examined me and told me that it was a gallbladder attack radiating to shoulder and back I have to keep off fats and stick to bland diet. Not a heart attack !! Keep taking cocodamol I have to be so careful it's not worth this pain, for tea tonight I had poached egg and toast no butter.

Do you really appreciate what 'no fat' means, gordie?

This should not be a surprise to you - you have been told this by several users several times.

A low fat diet is not difficult to follow - you can still eat out you just have to be specific about what you are ordering.
