Gall Bladder Attacks

Gall bladder is an organ which helps in digestive process and stores bile. Gall bladder attack is different from gall bladder disease. Gall bladder attack is both painful and frightening. Most of the people opt for a surgery for gall bladder attack. When my mother got gall bladder attack she immediately opted for a surgery because the attack was really painful and frightening for her.

Following are some of the symptoms of gall bladder attack:

1. Chest pain in the right side.
   
2. Nausea and vomiting.
   
3. Queasiness.
   
4. Gas.
   
5. Dizziness.
   
6. Constipation.
   
7. Headaches.
   
8. Light colored stools.

Drinking lemon juice and salt at night can ease the pain of gall bladder.

Number of gall bladder attack cases is increasing these days, mainly due to bad eating habits and inappropriate diet. These days more and more people are shifting towards junk and fried food, that creates indigestion and become a hindrance in normal activities of the body. There are more chances of gall bladder attack in the people, who have weight problems, or the people who have high cholesterol level or the people who have gastrointestinal disorders.

Gall bladder attacks can also occur due to allergic reaction to certain foods like eggs, meat, dairy products and citrus fruits. Consuming chocolates, coffee and carbonated soda can also become a cause for gall bladder attack.

Usually gall stones are mainly responsible for gall bladder disease and pain.

Although, gall bladder attacks are very painful but in my opinion getting surgery done for the removal of gall bladder is not a right choice. Gall bladder is a vital organ of our body that helps in the digestion of fats. Also, removal of gall bladder does not mean the end of the problem, because still you will not be able to eat like you used to eat before getting it removed. I can very well cite my mother's problem here.

My mother got her bladder removed through a surgery but after that she has to really take care of her eating habits. Whenever she eats some high fat food she gets the pain that she used to get earlier.

You can first try some alternative treatments before getting your gall bladder removed such as getting your gall stones flushed with the help of medicines prescribed by your doctor. Also people suffering from gall bladder attacks should improve their eating habits, like, in spite of having animal foods such as meat, you can switch to vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts and seeds.

You are the only who can take good care of your health and it is only you who make it worse. Stay healthy. Stay fit.
