Gallbladder Disease

Where can I find a dietitian who works with people who have gallbladder problems? The Medical Nutrition and Nutrition Entrepreneurs dietetic practice groups of the American Dietetic Association provide medical nutrition therapy based on your diagnosis. Dietitians often have their own private practice nutrition counseling services in addition to services provided in a clinic or...

Thanks for the reply. I am used to having the attacks like the one I had last night. I am having my surgery on the 8th and I just need to be smart about what I eat for the next few days. Thanks for the dietary information. That is truly what I was looking...

I am up at this insane hour because I am in the process of having a gallbladder attack. I read the Q&A about if a gallbladder actually ruptures. I am scheduled for surgery. I would go to the emergency room, but I do not want to have it removed under emergency circumstances. I am...

I have been eating a pre-packaged cinnamon Danish for breakfast. I have also snacked on the Danish before going to bed. This has resulted in some upper digestive tract discomfort (i.e. when I stop eating the Danish it goes away).

My sister just found out she needs to have her gallbladder removed (the surgery date will be set later this week). Her doctor put her on a diet of clear liquids last week and she needs to remain on that for a couple more weeks (I am not sure how long after the surgery)....

I was reading your Q&A on gallbladder and I wonder if you have the e-mail address of the husband who wrote that his wife was getting sick after gallbladder removal. I have the same problem and would like to see what they found out if anything. Thanks for your help, if you feel it...

My wife had her gallbladder removed last June as she had several gallstones. Soon after the operation, she would once in a while (2 to 3 hours after supper) experience a very painful burning sensation in her tummy. She would scream uncontrollably at the top of her lungs for several seconds and spit up...
