Gallbladder Symptoms And Menstrual Cycle


Momto2Boys

Recommended Posts

Momto2Boys Rookie

Hi everyone! I'm new here. I was recently diagnosed (questionable - I have a long post in post-diagnosis forum) with Celiac's. My MAIN symptoms are gallbladder pain/spasms during my period (usually starts the second day of my period or maybe that's when I notice it more because the menstrual cramps aren't as bad??) As I type this I am on my second day of my period and both my menstrual cramps and gallbladder are hurting - OUCH! I'm supposed to have an abdominal and pelvic ultrasound on Tuesday at GYN office (my best guess as to when my period was going to be when I scheduled my appt - of course I started a bit early and am having my symptoms now and it's Sunday so doctor's office not open. May try to get in tomorrow. They wanted to do it when I was in pain).

Anyway, anyone else have this? I'm starting to think I may have endometriosis now too (GYN thought it was more rare to have it all the way up in the gallbladder)? I hope not. I went from healthy to all of this crap (started in January). I'm still in partial denial. Will try to get in with GI doc who is supposed to be good and specializes in Celiac's to help with diagnosis etc.

Thanks!

It sounds like you may have an ovarian cyst to me, which will be detectable in the ultrasound. I've had one and the pain intensifies during that time of the month and the pain travels and is hard to detect the exact source of it. My friend also had the same thing recently and thought she was having appendicitis.

Hi, I was just wondering if you ever found out what was causing the pain. I am having the same problems and I'm just trying to search for answers fast because as you know

It is painful to deal with.

Thank you, Aw

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
