Hi. I had my gallbladder removed 5 days ago. So far since I left the hospital I have not needed any medication. Here are some of my symptoms. If anyone noticed anything similar please lmk.

Day 3: Extremely sleepy like i felt like I slept 16 + hours on and off. I would wake up and go back to sleep.

Day 4: insomnia and vivid dreams ; Its like the opposite of day 3. I kept waking up

Day 5: extreme hot flashes (even with ac on): I notice it gets worse in the middle of the night or a few hours after I eat/drink water

It seems like everyday its something new. I also feel like emotions are all over the place. Im having reflux, loss of appetite ( I did have this prior to surgery).

Hi everyone. I apologize in advance if this is not the right community to ask this question in. Around 4 years ago I gave birth to my first child. After giving birth i started to experience so many unexplained symptoms. A lot of my symptoms seemed consistent with those if high cortisol.

A year ago a took an all day saliva cortisol test and it was elevated all day despite taking it on a day i was super relaxed and stayed in bed all day. All these years ive been to multiple doctors trying to figure out what is causing these issues with no answers. After nonstop vomiting I recently found out i have chronic gallbladder inflammation, stones, and sludge. My attacks look very different from what most people experience. Does anyone know if an inflamed organ could technically be the cause of consistently high cortisol?

I recently found out I have inflammation stones and sludge. I have not had a period in almost 4 months. Could this be connected to the gallbladder issues? I am usually extremely regular.

These are my results from the abdominal ultrasound:

GALLBLADDER:

Stone(s)/Sludge: Stone(s) and sludge present.

Polyp(s): Absent.

Distention: Distended > 5 cm transverse or 12 cm in length.

Abnormal wall thickening: Present.

Pericholecystic fluid: Absent.

Focal tenderness over the gallbladder: Absent.

I had a hida scan as well but the first medication they gave me they couldnt see my gallbladder so they ended up giving me morphine. They just said my scan was normal but idk if I believe that. For the past 2 years ive had peanut butter color stool, extreme bloating (I look 9 months pregnant most of the time, weight gain. I dont really have pain, but now im developing extreme nausea, sometimes vomiting, and loss of appetite. I have just started a low fat diet, but has anyone treated this naturally? Ive tried all the gallbladder pills (tudca,taurine,etc) with no relief. I want to avoid surgery if possible.
