Digestive Disruptions After Meals? Your Gallbladder Might Be the Culprit

If you’ve ever experienced sharp pain in the upper right abdomen after a heavy or fatty meal, your gallbladder may be signaling distress. Gallbladder disease is more common than you think, and when left untreated, it can lead to serious complications.

OBUR Health offers clear, accessible, and compassionate gallbladder disease treatment in Houston, with virtual visits, in-home support, and in-clinic evaluations available for your comfort.

What Your Gallbladder Actually Does?

The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that stores and releases bile, a fluid that helps digest fats. When the gallbladder becomes inflamed, infected, or blocked by gallstones, it can cause pain and digestive symptoms that shouldn’t be ignored.

Red Flags That Might Indicate Gallbladder Trouble:

Sharp or cramping pain in the upper right abdomen
Pain that spreads to the back or right shoulder blade
Nausea or vomiting, especially after eating
Bloating, burping, or indigestion
Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice) in severe cases

While mild symptoms may come and go, persistent discomfort or digestive upset deserves a professional look.

Gallbladder Health FAQs

Can gallbladder disease be treated without surgery?

Yes, in some cases. If symptoms are mild or infrequent, dietary changes and medication may help manage the condition. We’ll help you explore all non-surgical options first.

What foods should I avoid if I have gallbladder issues?

Fatty, fried, and greasy foods are common triggers. We’ll provide personalized dietary guidance to reduce flare-ups and support better digestion.

How do I know if it’s my gallbladder or just indigestion?

Gallbladder pain is usually more severe, localized, and often triggered by meals. We can help distinguish between the two and recommend imaging if needed.

Is virtual care effective for gallbladder symptoms?

Absolutely. Many cases can be initially evaluated virtually. If in-person tests are needed, we’ll coordinate them for you, no guesswork.
