Can a fall bring on a gallstone attack?

0

It’s possible that your fall did something, but only an ultrasound, MRI, or x-ray will tell for sure. It sounds like classic symptoms of a diseased gallbladder. Until you can be treated, drink a mixture of apple juice and lemon juice ONLY. Stay as far away from food as you can, especially meat and any fats. You are describing bile in your vomit. If you are lucky and it is a diseased gallbladder, they can remove it laparoscopically most times. Then you go home the next day. If they can’t, then you get a 6-8 inch scar and 4-5 days in the hospital. Either way, once it’s removed and you heal, you shouldn’t have any more problems. Call your doctor as soon as you can. If it ruptures, you can be in a lot of pain and cause a lot more damage to your body. Bile is a digestive enzyme. A leak can possibly digest you from the inside out. Or at least cause infection problems. Don’t take chances with your health. Once ruined, it’s hard to get back.
