Are Abdominal Bloating And Nausea Caused Due To Gallstones?
Hello, I am not convinced my 18 MM gallstone is causing my stomach issues. I dont have nausea but I do wake up in the morning bloated with discomfort. I can hardly eat most days.. I want to make sure that it is my gallstone before I remove it. I have had other tests for parasites etc and all is clear. Many Thanks

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering if abdominal bloating and nausea caused due to Gallstones which seems to be either infection or inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. It could be due to disturbed electrolyte imbalance in body and due to underlying systemic pathology. Gallstone can also cause such symptoms . I would suggest you to start with proton pump inhibitors and antacids such as Pantoprazole along with domperidone. You should take oral rehydration solution for maintaining the hydration and electrolyte balance of the body. Avoid intake of large foods and try to prefer small and frequent meals. You should consult gastroenterologist once and get complete blood investigations done along with ultrasound . Start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take plain and soft food and avoid hot, sharp and spicy food substances.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
