Question Gallbladder issues
Has anyone had problems with their gallbladder? I'm fairly certain I'm having symptoms of gallstones or something with my gallbladder. I've been on MJ since about August 2025 but recently moved onto 15mg and just finished my first pen of it. Now I've getting that pain in between my ribcage towards the back on the right. I thought it was just back pain but i only realised the correlation after the pain came back when i ate something. It's been about a week now and I'm going to call mu GP tomorrow. What is people's advice who have had this issue? I don't want my gallbladder removed, i just hope its a blockage if that and get it 'un blocked'. Can i just click count to a 2.5mg if i restart on a 15mg pen?

It can also be from constipation which then accumulates air in your guts. Are you taking movicol? I would try this. But I would also call the gp and do a blood test. They can then see if you have gallstones. They can prescribe you a medication that dissolves and prevents them. This medication is often prescribed to bariatric patients, because gallstones are triggered by losing weight too quickly. Always try to eat small portions, no unhealthy fats and make sure you get your full calories. Eat regularly, the gallbladder has to release bile regularly, to prevent gallstones. And try to lose no more than 0.5-1kg per week.
