Pain In Gallbladder And Kidney When Chocolates, Meat, Fish And Chips Are Eaten. Relief With Cranberry Capsule. Opinion?
I have gallbladder pain when I eat chocolate, meat, fish and chips, these foods are eaten very occasionally, when I have wine and meat I get a constant pain in my left kidney, this is relieved by taking a cranberry capsule and putting a hot water bottle over the kidney. I have watched my diet for years and try to keep vegetarian which seems to suit my symptoms, but the problem seems to be getting worse. I am 71 female . I have a Doctors appointment today, but hoping you can shed some light on my situation also.
Many thanks Margo

Welcome to HCM.A ultrasound scan of the Gal bladder,liver area and pancreas would help identify any gall stones or gall bladder pathology.Any renal stones or hydronephrosis can also be checked.Avoiding fatty foods will help reduce the symptoms.A upper GI endoscopy would help identify any Peptic /duodenal ulcer or GERD.
