Can Gallbladder Cause Problems Lower Down?
Posted: 10-30-04 16:13pm

Hi all. I have posted a few times and have gotten a lot of good responses. In case you don't know, i've been sick with nausea and stomach pain for 4 years and recently found out that my gallbladder only has a 20% ejection fraction. I am having surgery on nov. 4 since after so many tests, nothing else has been found wrong. I wanted to know if gallbladder problems can cause other digestive problems lower down in the digestive system. Since about a year ago, I get crampy intestines if I eat anything high in carbs, like fresh fruit or pasta. I don't have bowel movement problems, just a crampy, colicky feeling in my lower abdomen. The past few weeks it is there a lot, no matter what I eat. The only thing I have done differently was an herbal treatment with my doc to try and get my gallbladder working better (didn't work), and this seemed to cause more problems. Any ideas what may be going on? It almost feels like menstrual cramps.
