10 Signs and Symptoms of Gallbladder Problems

8. Lack of Appetite

Many people suffering gallbladder attack feel bad when the bloating and stomach pain hit. They will stop eating altogether in order to avoid the pain and unpleasantness. Add to this the fact that a blocked bile duct makes digestion painful, and you have a good reason to abstain from eating food.

Consult your doctor if nausea and indigestion are keeping you from eating. He can do a blood test that will detect the bilirubin, levels of alkaline phosphate, and liver enzymes in the blood. All these indicate a blockage, and your doctor will know how to handle it.
