2 years ago i had a gallbladder attack. doctors recommended i have my gallbladder removed. i chose not to. they also found out i am allergic to pork. since then i have avoided pork and fatty foods. i still have nausea, bloating , gas and occasional diarrhea . i now have enlarged lymph nodes in my neck and am experiencing joint pain. i was sent for a ultrasound for my neck and blood tests. everything has come back normal. can all of these symptoms be related to my gallbladder. after reading some articles online i found other people who had an infected gallbladder and had the same symptoms. could this be true? i have scheduled surgery to have my gallbladder removed, but want to be sure iam making the right decision.
Hi Gall bladder should be removed only when it has stones, got gangrenous. Even with gall stones, there is no need to remove it if there is no pain. Pain will be under your right rib cage at the upper part of the abdomenEnlarged lymph nodes in the neck, joint pains are not related to gall bladder. Nausea, bloating,gas and diarrhea are due to infection of gastrointestinal tract.IT may be due to contaminated food or water. In infected gall bladder without stones, you can take good antibiotic and control the infection. There is no need to remove the gall bladder. Please think again and take a decision. Please consult a Gastroenterologist and take second opinion. Wish you good healthRegards
