bro saved my time for making me understanding the topic clearly

Thank you for explaining details of these tests, help me understand better what my doctors were telling me. My bloodwork showed elevated liver enzyme levels, bilirubin in September. At end of October I was having another gallbladder attack and went to hospital and has it removed. The doctors mentioned all these tests and levels...and best way they explained it was my liver and pancreas were inflamed. I was put on IV for 3 days no food to calm the liver and pancreas, had MRI done make sure no stones in any of the ducts, then had my gallbladder out.
Since then...greatful have NO pain when I eat any of the foods that caused problems. Only things that cause problems are high fat baked goods and greasy food.

After sonograms, I have always been told that my gallbladder is "full of stones." I have been to the ER at least twice with biliary colic that lasted at least 8 hours. After those experiences, I put myself on a strict diet and restricted fat in any meal to about 5 grams (or less if possible) Reduced risk of release of CCK. The gallbladder is important in aiding in the metabolism of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D E and K. All are important to health, especially as a person ages. The half-million cholecystectomies annually in the U.S. are often performed on people who never hear about the important function of the gallbladder. Also, on a Mayo Clinic dietician's blog, I recall a thread that started with a suggested diet for those after surgery. There must have been at least hundreds of comments from people who regretted having the procedure. Many could not eat at a restaurant without making a mad dash to a bathroom. (even long after the procedure) I realize the risks of having gallstones that have been symptomatic. Wish the people who invented the scope to remove stones outside the gallbladder could come up with something that removes those in the gallbladder.

I just had removal of the gallbladder. Pancreatitis is so painful . I was in pain 4 days and on the 4th day I was able to go into surgery. I was giving tons of fluids and pain medications . Morphine was not enough so my attending physician ordered dilaudid and that helped me tremendously to reduce inflammation 😢

Such a good video! I used to get confused with all the gallstone conditions since they all sound similar but you cleared everything. Keep it up.

Very well explained in the video. I have stones and have suffered from biliary colic. They are very annoying and too dangerous. It is a mistake in the human system that a bile reservoir bag is formed stones and then want to go out there as if nothing, taking into account that it will block the exit and the bile ducts. The question is, has the bile been modified? How to re-make bile so that it dissolves the stones?

[serjofcinder]

This is a really good video, thank you

I'm the second two FF's and I had none of the symptomes. I was just very bloaty after meals and couldn't eat a proper meal. My doc ordered an abdominal ultrasound and found 2cm gallstones. I'm taking Ursofalk and the symptoms have subsided.

[timstim]

Thanks for great video, simple and so informative. Can you use ultrasound to break up the gall stones instead of removing the gallbladder?

[shitfuckery]

I tick the female box and thats it. I was sent to hospital by doctor and gall bladder removed that evening, I was 21years old, at that time weighed around 45kg and not fair in fact very tan skin. I remember the nurses saying you dont typically fit the criteria haha The pain was excruciating.
