Is anybody familiar with gallbladder attacks? I have been getting what feels
like a GB attack since 2006. The funny thing is, despite 2 ultrasounds and 1
CT nobody has ever found any gallstones. The pain is under my right rib cage
and spreads all the way to my back. My belly distends even more than usual
and it is very painful and uncomfortable. Although I am not one to reach for
painkillers quickly, this is one time when I will take them.

 

I had one Monday a week ago and all of this week, after eating, I had the
pain in my back under my rib cage. Tonight it spread to the front and is
worse than any other day this week.

 

I feel overwhelmed. I would like to do this with diet alone and on my own,
but I am scared. I am thinking about finding a good doctor, but how do I
find one? I would love to find someone who is familiar with hormonal
imbalance but doesn't believe I need to eat grains to get healthy. And my DH
would like me to find a doctor who is covered by insurance which complicates
matters even more. On that note, anybody know any good docs in the Nashville
area?

 

Thanks,

Kristina
