Gallbladder Removed 8 Yrs Ago And I Am Having the Same Pain

i too have had my gallbladder removed1996, due to pancreatites. How ever I was deveststed that it didn't go away. I knew it immediatley after I camr e out of surgery. I was livid, because they said 70% sure thats what its was. Well my problem was caused by steriods, prednisone, solumedrol.. Everytime my asthma is sever I take prednisone and my pancrease flares up, but doesn't sshow up on blood work. But it does show up on ct scan, you just need to eat something that irritates it the night before, in order to show what the pancrease is doing. Signs of pancreatites is not just pain, but nausea.. Don't give up , keep fighting, try eating fresh pinapple, amazing results. Less attacts, down to 3 a day from 7 .. Keep it up and let me know how your doing?? Wp

hi, I had my gall bladder removed nearly 3 years ago & have been experiencing the same pain. I have since had 3 ultra sounds, 2 endoscopies, an ercg, an mri (which showed up 2 duodenal diverticulums near the pancreas, also showed I was born with a divided pancreas) a barium meal (which showed a 3rd diverticulum). My cousin had her gall bladder out & also has a diverticulum. My sister-in-law had her gall bladder out & has been experiencing the same pain. Pain in the gut, radiating to the back. These pains occur every 6 weeks, with a build up of small pains occuring in the 5th week. I am at the moment on a soft diet (no grains, pips or seeds.) the gastroenerologist I am seeing first told me the pain was caused by the diverticulum, he thought he could remove 2 of them , but the 3rd was too close to the bile ducts to remove. Now he has put me on this diet to prove that it isn't the diverticulums that are causing the pain, but he thinks it is my pancreas. In other words, if I go on the diet & I still get pain ,it is not the diverticulums.Frustrating, I feel I am getting no where, but I am persisting. The pain is so severe , my husband wants to phone for an ambulance. But I tell him I have to ride it through. Some times the pain lasts between 1 & 4 hours. I hope I have given you something you can take to your specialist & he may send you for more tests. Please keep in touch & let me know how you go. I will also keep in touch & hopefully soon I will get some results. I do not go to the specialist until the middle of may. In the meantime he has given me some endone tablets to take the edge off the pain when I get a bad attack. All the best, anne
