Did you drink Mtn Dew yesterday? That’s what sets my inflames my gallbladder.

It happened three times before I figured out it was the Mtn Dew. Test confirmed a large gallstone and doctor wanted to remove gallbladder to see if that was the issue. I told him no. I stopped drinking Mtn Dew and it has been six or seven years since it has acted up.

Have you been around Carole Baskin in the last 48 hours? There’s a good chance she slipped you some anti-freeze.

Also could be gallstones/cholecystitis

You sure about that Dr?

It can happen, but it isn't common

Medute

So it could be GERD...got it

Unlikely but possible. Still get it checked out...which sounds like he is

Sounds like a gallbladder attack.

Getting an ultrasound now. DR thinks it’s gallbladder

Only change I made was give up Mtn Dew. My son worked in the electronics lab at

Well, ok. Guess I will forsake science now because of your anecdote.

I am just supplying my first hand account. Do with it what you will. I haven’t

Omeprazole is the only PPI that works for me.

Which would make sense, as the gallbladder has nothing to do with GERD

SJS

5/26/20 8:01am

Lol. Like you know anything about the gallbladder.

It's like the only thing I truly know anything about.

Ugh, those gallbladder attacks are the worst. Had mine finally -

Did they not refer you to GI? Sounds like you need a scope

Medute

Supposed to meet with one in 4-6 weeks.
