What Are Gallbladder Stones?
5. Signs & Symptoms
Gallstones commonly cause pain in the upper right abdomen. Usually, the pain doesn’t last longer than a few hours and often comes on after consuming foods that are high in fat. Additional symptoms associated with gallbladder stones include excessive burping, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, and clay-colored stools.
You may also experience frequent indigestion, diarrhea, and stomach pain. These symptoms together are commonly referred to as biliary colic. It’s important to note, though, that gallstones don’t always cause noticeable symptoms. In some cases, they pass without the affected person even noticing.
