I had constant (literally nonstop
) pain in my upper right back for about 10 years before figuring out it's probably my gallbladder. I actually thought it was my kidneys while I was pregnant and it got worse, after doing some research I realized I was having some of the more common symptoms of gallbladder problems. Since figuring out that it was caused by diet I'm able to go days (even weeks!
) at a time without pain. I've found it's best to eat lots of produce, eat 3 square meals with no snacking, very little oil (whole food fats seem fine), and only rare processed food (though this is when I'll usually have a "flare up" which thankfully doesn't last too long). I've found that I'm now able to eat things that would have caused a flare up a few months ago, but really don't like to cheat too often.
feel free to pm me if you'd like to know more about my personal experience
