·I went in for a follow up with my GI guy after my colonoscopy (it was normal). I proceeded to describe a new set of symptoms (that until this appt., I had been under the impression was trapped gas). Come to find out, it sounds to to the Dr. like Gall stones!! I thought gall stones only affected people who were overweight and ate a high fat diet. I am neither. I did some reading and it looks like the culprit could be estogen!! A side effect of HRT can be gall bladder trouble. I have an appointment for an abdominal sonagram in two weeks. The attacks ARE horrific. I've had 2 in the last 4 weeks. They are 3 hours of excruiating pain, followed by throwing up. The only thing the Dr. said I can do if an attack comes is to go to the ER. Anyone been/going down this same road? Im newly freaked out again. The "alarmist" in me is off and running. Any thoughts on the estrogen connection?Thanks in advance,Alexilyn
