10 Gallbladder Attack Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #9: Constipation
In individuals with a gallbladder attack, constipation may also occur; however constipation is rare as bowel movements tend to increase. Constipation occurs when your bowels do not move frequently causing you to have dry and hard stools.
Studies have found an association between gallstones and constipation as intestinal transit is slowed due to the formation of gallstones. Affected individuals should try to drink more fluids and avoid refined foods such as flour, bread, and pasta. A regular exercise routine might also be helpful.
