Started having pain attacks in my liver area of stomach that would start with a dull pain and then
within a matter of minutes the pain spreads up to my chest and the only thing that makes it go away
is quickly eating brown bread and drinking at least half a litre water.
Went for scan. They discovered gallstones. Had gallbladder removed. Still have pain attacks daily.
Ive been living with this pain for a year and a half now. Am going to a liver specialist soon but
I have a feeling he will just look at my blood test results(which say everything is fine) and tell me,
"Everything is fine" and my reasoning is, no everything is not fine, because obviously something is
going wrong in my liver that caused gallstones to form in the first place, and obviously something is
still going wrong in my liver because I have these pain attacks still. I go to the toilet regularly but
my stools are always hard and dry. I have had to stop eating fatty foods because this will increase the
frequency of the pain attacks which actually leads me to believe that for some reason my liver cannot
break down fats anymore.
I was hoping someone here might have had similar symptoms and can offer some advice on what I can do
to cure myself. I was hoping maybe theres some type of tea I must drink or there are vitamins I can try.
Ive also had for at least a year now a constant slight pressure on my left temple, which Im assuming might
be caused by my liver problems seeing as the liver helps to regulate blood I think.
