OK, just ate some toast......wish me luck! **home from the Drs.**

I think I've been having gallbladder attacks and last nights was so bad I almost went to the ER. I'm soooo afraid to eat now!
I just ate some toast (with a wee bit of butter on it) and we'll see what happens. I have an appointment at the Drs at 1:30.
Was toast an OK choice or am I going to be regretting it very shortly?????
*********UPDATE*********
Well, I'm back from the Drs. They did some blood work to check liver enzymes, blood counts, h. Pyoli (?) and some other things. They did it "stat". Hopefully I'll hear something today. I go tomorrow for an upper GI. She doesn't think its my gallbladder since the ultrasound done 6 months ago looked ok.
So I have to wait.
I didn't ask her though about what I should eat. I had some toast and that did ok, but I want to eat, eat.
Any suggestions what would be ok? Ham sandwhich? Mac & cheese?, salad? any thoughts?
I'm real hungry! LOL

Also, if it were you and you ate and had a real bad attack, would you call back to the Drs or go to the ER?

hmmmmmmm, maybe I should call the Drs. back. Don't you hate it when you leave and have a bunch of questions! LOL

I think you will be okay. You can try a plain baked potato from Wendy's.

Did you read my last reply on the gallbladder thread?

You should be OK, but no butter!! Dairy causes "attacks" if you do have a gallbladder problem/stones.

Sorry to hear you've been feeling poorly. Hope you're better soon!............P

Hope all goes well at the dr. Stay away from the fatty foods though because that's what will trigger an attack. Try toast with jam on it instead.

bumping for update

Avoid fatty foods for now until you find out. Keep us informed.

I had to go to the ER after an attack because health services was closed and I was having trouble breathing.
For the smaller ones I just walked around a lot but dairy definitely instigated my attacks or right after I woke up.

Yeah, dairy sounds like a bad move! I hope you get better. If your doc is not available then ER it is!
