Gallstones

So for the past 4 weeks I've had at least one bad episode a week of what I thought was excruciating heartburn.. When I got two in one day I called my Dr. and yesterday I went for an ultrasound.. Yup you got 10 + tiny little stone sitting in the gallbladder. Thanks to my son pushing everything around I now get attacks. The worst is I have at least 4 more months of this that I have to suffer thru. No surgery unless absolutely needed. I am thankful that my attacks last no longer than 20 minutes, I've read of some woman having attacks for 2 hours.

Tricky part trying to figure out what foods are likely to set off an attack. Everything the Canada food guide tells me to eat for a balanced diet, is very likely to set off an attack. the confusing part for me is that a particular food can set me off one day and not the next. So now I face each meal with trepidation.

One person told me to look on the bright side, I'll be ready for contraction cause they are nowhere near as painful. I told my husband that if contractions are as painful as this I am damn well taking that epidural!!
