Moving into our new home & dealing with sickness

Please get your gallbladder checked. Because the way it suddenly went away is exactly how gallbladder acts. The fact they shrugged it off as reflux is not right. I have chronic reflux and they are not that bad. The thing is once you start having gallbladder issues you are prone to it again. Also woman who have had children are even more prone to it and it can be dangerous if you are pregnant. They removed mine fast because hubby and I were trying for a baby and they didn’t want to risk possible complications. Not trying to scare you but please follow up on this because I would hate for you to suffer again. 💖💖💖 sending love.

Liana you 100% had a gallbladder attack. I got 5 attacks in the first 6 months of having my daughter before having it removed. They lasted about 6 hours each, except the last one was a few days, resulting in me getting a scope procedure to fix that and then later got surgery to remove it after. The pain you were in and how you acted is exactly how I did too except you kept your calm a lot better lol. Getting a scope procedure can clear it out and kind of reset any build up of sludge or get rid of any stones that may be. I highly recommend that and I wish you the best! Eat low fat foods and stay strong if it happens again. Keep us updated!

Liana, many women have issues with their gallbladder after having a baby. It’s common. Gallbladder pain is very uncomfortable. The fact you are having pain in your back as well could also be kidney stones. Pain isn’t a normal thing, it’s good to have it checked. Reflux doesn’t tend to present in the way you are describing. While uncomfortable, it isn’t sharp stabbing type pains. Reflux can be helped by ensuring you eat no less than 2 hrs before bedtime. Also sleep at a 60 degree angle as gravity helps keep food down so there isn’t a risk of aspiration (inhaling your stomach contents) and possible pneumonia. By the way, your new home is lovely and such a wonderful place to start the new year.

We all need a Connor in our lives. Someone to tell us we aren't being silly, pain is not normal and we don't mess around when it comes to our health. We all, especially women, want to dismiss our pain or minimise the drama but we all need someone to tell us to stop being silly and look after ourselves, even if it is just gas.

If you have gallstones you need to avoid all fat in your diet. My Mum had this when I was a child. She was told the scan showed a golf ball sized stone. She went on a total fat free diet while waiting for her operation. She lost quite a bit of weight with it, but the pain was reduced from not having the fats. Anyway by the time my Mum had the op, they removed the gallbladder, and no stones were found. The doctor could only assume that the diet was so good the stone broke down and passed. I think after all that time my Mum was actually disappointed to have nothing to show for all her pain! So anyway, if you have a gallstone then go on a total fat free diet!

This house has such good vibes! Definitely a good decision and everything happens for a reason 🥹🙌🏼

As others have commented, I'd really look into getting your gallbladder checked. Both my mom and I have had ours removed. My mom's was really bad where in the ultrasound they didn't see stones but saw it needed to go. During the surgery they almost weren't able to get it out without fully opening her up because of how bad it was and turned out she was actually full of gallbladder stones but the sludge inside it was so thick they couldn't see the stones before going in. As someone who battles chronic illness and pain and took years to get answers for my health issues,keep fighting for answers because nobody knows your body better than you. Sending you love. ❤

another gallbladder person here! had my gallbladder removed 2 weeks ago after over 6 months of that upper abdominal pain coming and going, usually after eating fat (mostly dairy), lasting minutes to days at a time. the pain is very similar to contractions apparently. my doctor misdiagnosed it as reflux in the beginning, and a few months later i ended up in the er. for your peace of mind i recommend getting an upper abdominal ultrasound (at a reputable place, my gallstones went undetected in my first ultrasound). i cannot understate how much having my gallbladder removed changed my life after living with that horrible pain and sickness (my gallstones also messed w my pancreas and liver as well, so could explain other symptoms u might have. i had really low blood sugar and my skin turned yellow). also fyi gallstones aren’t an “old people thing” like some people think, my symptoms first started as a normal, healthy 16 year old. also the pain isn’t always on the right side where your gallbladder is, mine was under the ribs all the way around, also in my shoulders and back. just thought i’d share my experience in case it helps anyone out there that might relate, because catching it earlier would have saved me so much pain. get well soon and sending love from australia ❤️❤️

You should replace your mattresses because when you move out of mold and you are mold sensitive, it actually gets into the mattresses.

Not a doctor… but I would keep in mind if this happens again to go get checked out by a different provider. I had the exact same symptoms as you, went to the ER, was dismissed and told it was probably just general stomach upset and that they could give me pain meds. A few days go by and it comes back again, so I head back to the ER, but that time I saw a different doctor who actually listened to me and brought in an ultrasound. They found out my gallbladder was full of some nastiness so then they sent me to get more imaging done and eventually removed my gallbladder. It may not be gallbladder related but I think we really have to fight for some doctors to take our pain seriously. Don’t hesitate to advocate for yourself!

I had gall stones back in my early 20’s and it’s been described as the next worst pain to giving birth. I had my gall bladder removed which was a massive relief. So along with others who have commented, it couldn’t do any harm to get yourself checked out. ❤️😊💛

I was going to say gallbladder. The pain was worse than contractions. Everyone beat me to it. You should definitely have it checked. My issues actually showed up during my first pregnancy

Please get scanned for gallstones! I had non-typical gallstone pain like you described. Sharp stabbing pain right below ur ribs in the center. It only felt better bent over and would pass. Sometimes under an hour, sometimes a bit longer. To make matters worse, I was pregnant, so no one really looked further than 'pregnancy complications' or 'gas/stomach acid' or 'just a muscle spasm, drink water'. 2 years later, I got pancreatitis and was hospitalized for 3 days. They measured some protein or whatever that the pancreas produces. Healthy range is in the 10's. I was in the 1500+. Thats when they found it was small gallstones. Three months later and I had the gallbladder surgically removed and no more pain since then. I could never figure out what my food triggers were, which made it even more difficult to identify as gallstones. It felt like it happened randomly and at different intervals. My sister had a singular large stone, and she had specific food triggers and felt it in the spot where the gallbladder is. So she was diagnosed immediately with gallstones. Also had hers removed and got to keep her stone. Lucky bastard. So if it happens again, push for a scan for gallstones!

Hello, First Aid Instructor here! 👋🏻 An appendicitis can cause many symptoms like a sharp pain that can come and go in waves. It's also possible that the pain is gone all of the sudden, which is an absolute emergency because that can mean that your appendix ruptured. Other symptoms may be fever, nausea or even vomiting. Good ways to recognise an appendicitis: • The pain is on your right side. • Psoas sign: Sit down on a chair with both feet flat on the ground. Then let someone slightly push down your right knee/leg. If the pain gets worse when you try to lift it, it could be a sign that it is an appendicitis. • A more secure way is to feel/push where the pain is. When the pain is worse letting go than pushing in, chances are high that it is an appendicitis. Rebound tenderness is rare compared to other kinds of pain. Ultimately, only medical professionals can actually diagnose and treat. Hope that helps though 😇.

A lot of people are commenting the pain seems like gallstones. I've heard a lot of people say they were dismissed as it being 'just trapped gass' or reflux or something. I was lucky that I was able to give the info when mine flared up badly that I had been told I had gallstones when I had a scan for other issues about a year previously. I had been having flare ups for a long time that always passed but this time it wasn't passing. Due to being a stubborn sod and having past medical trauma I waited for 3 days in too much pain and nausea to eat or drink, and when my partner eventually convinced me to let her phone 111 they almost immediately said they were sending an ambulance and ended up having my gallbladder out. Apparently it had definitely not been a good thing waiting so long 😂 Ask your GP for a scan for a gallbladder and if this happens again keep note of if you have eaten oily or greasy foods in the most recent meal (even if it was he night before) because that can trigger flare ups

Don't take ibuprofen or NSAIDs when you have stomach pain. Also don't eat or drink while you're having stomach issues like this. It could make it a lot worse depending on what your problem is. That's not acid reflux.. doctors seem to forget that women can deal with pain, and when you're in that much pain something is wrong.. they told my mom the same thing... She actually had peritonitis and she almost died because they misdiagnosed her. Her stomach had actually ruptured and was leaking acid into her abdominal cavity, it was agonizingly painful and they actually sent her home too..

Many people have already said this but absolutely get your gallbladder checked! I had mine removed after dealing with pain from it for years and it literally changed my life!!! I’ve never had pain like that since and the surgery was laparoscopic and fairly quick recovery. I’d absolutely ask your dr to look into it. If you have gall stones they can see it on an ultrasound.

GALL STONES! I had practically the exact symptoms! Turned out it was gall stones. Ended up having to get my gall bladder removed. I hope she doesn't have her symptoms come back. But if they do have the hospital do an ultrasound on her gallbladder. If there are done they will show up on the scan. I hope Connor feels better as well as Koazy!❤❤❤❤❤

ATTENTION⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ someone on the comments wrote to get your gallbladder checked as theyve had experienve from what you had and they had to get their gallbladder removed as trying for a baby would have complications with the gallbladder. They said women who have been pregnant are more prone to it and woman who have had this pain before are also prone to it again. So pls get your gallbladder checked!

I love that Conner helps her with all these health issues.. It can really help with healing as well.. My husband left me because I got sick, wound up in the hospital, and almost died.. I didn't even have to ask him why because that's what he flat out said..
