What Causes Acid Reflux With Bloating Having Gall Bladder Working At 30%?

I am a 24 year old female. I was recently diagnosed with a low functioning (30%) gallbladder. I postponed surgery because I decided I could manage my symptoms. I recently began feeling a tingly sensitive sensation in my nipples (mostly my right nipple). I am one week away from starting my period (I am very regular as I am on the BC pill) so my breasts are naturally a little tender, also. Soon after the nipple sensitivity developed, I started having weird feelings in my abdomen with some occasional bloating in my lower abdomen (mostly at night). I would use the bathroom ("#2") several times but only in small amounts and I sometimes did not even feel stomach upset. I could not sleep well last night due to acid reflux and a burning in my upper abdomen. The burning feeling moved to my lower abdomen. I'm thinking this could be due to the fact that I took 3 doses of mineral oil to help me really go to the bathroom. Now I have used the bathroom but it's strange colors. I'm having CRAZY weird symptoms that are driving me crazy. I have an appt. with my gyno this week but I can't wait that long...I want some answers!! Any help would be appreciated.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
In most cases, treatment of gallstones is considered necessary only if you are having symptoms. Of the various conventional treatments that are available, surgical removal of the gallbladder is the most widely used. Some alternative treatments have also been found to be effective in alleviating the symptoms of troublesome gallstones.
When deciding what course of action to take for symptomatic gallstones, doctors usually choose from among three main treatment options: Watchful waiting, nonsurgical therapy, and surgical removal of the gallbladder.
Though a gallstone episode can be extremely painful or frightening, almost a third to half of all people who experience an attack never have a recurrence. In some cases, the stone dissolves or becomes dislodged and thereby resumes its "silence." Because the problem may solve itself without intervention, many doctors take a wait-and-see approach following the initial episode.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
