This happened to me also. It turned out that my gall bladder wasn't my problem, even though I did have gallstones. I finally was diagnosed as having GERD. Or, Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease, after passing out from extreme pain one week after having gallbladder removed! The diet (of very little fat, no caffeine intake) and medicine I take for it seems to control it for me if taken as prescribed. I take Prevacid in the morning one hour before eating anything. Doctors sometimes do not tell you how to take Prevacid to get the full advantage of the medication. I take it with water. Helps me immensely. Good luck.
