Sister, my first suggestion would be to stop eating all that fried racoon meat! Try baking it instead.

Seriously, a friend of mine has problems with her gall bladder and she has to stay away from anything fried in grease and naturally greasy foods. I'm with LC, try limiting your intake of this kind of food. It should help.

Dairy, sugar, red meat, fried foods, all are hard on the gallbladder. FWIW, caffeine actually supports the gallbladder and can help resolve stones and other issues. Black coffee is your friend.

I was pregnant when I had gallbladder issues, I didn't want surgery while I was pregnant so I tried a drastic diet approach. I cut out *all* of the stuff above. Yes, I was miserable about my diet for awhile. lol But it was worth it to me to keep my baby safe. I found out that I felt a whole lot better too. I ate that way quite strictly for about a year (hey, who would *want* surgery if really just a few simple changes in eating can avoid it?) and then started adding things back in. I now eat really horribly (I really should try cutting some of those things out again...SUGAR especially) and don't have problems. It's 7 years later and I still have my gallbladder.

There are some other things you could try, but I dunno how open you are to taking herbal advice from a stranger online.

If you're interested I'll post my favorite herb for the gallbladder. I will caution you to NOT NOT NOT use any gallbladder cleanses right now, the olive oil/lemon juice things are for support. They will dislodge stones (that's kind of the point) but if those stones are too big you'll end up with SERIOUS problems and emergency surgery. They're for support, not dealing with an acute issue.

That was my first thought while reading the request for prayer. Nonetheless, I will pray for healing today for you sister.

Thanks for all the advice. I've had a good day, even ate a fried hamburger and am doing ok for the moment, well, acutally for 6 hours and haven't had any problems.

I'm not having horrible pain, just severe nausea. It hurts, but not anything like people have described their pain. (NO, I do not have a high pain threshold, I AM A WIENIE when it comes to pain!!!!!!

)

Somebody said it could be just a little irritated or maybe it is lactose intolerant.

Anyways, thanks for the advice and and all the prayer.

I go for a while and have no problems, then all of a sudden, WHAM, it's back ( and usually with a vengence).

My nerves are SHOT, so that may be contributing to all of this. It mainly happens if I eat ice cream or dairy products. Not all the time, just sometimes, and I think it has to do with the dairy products.

Just pray that God touches and heals me. I am tired of this.

Thanks in advance. You guys are great and I appreciate all of you.

You are in my prayers. I pray that God will touch and heal you completely. I admire you decision to trust the Lord, and, I hope this doesn't sound offensive, but I pray you are trusting God for the right reason. Trust Him because you TRUST Him, and not because you don't have insurance. I hope that makes a little sense.

It makes sense. He's the Healer. I trust Him because He is. .........MY GOD!!!
