What Does a Gallbladder Attack Feel Like?

5. Pain After Meals
While a gallbladder attack can come on at just about any time, it is more likely to happen just after you have eaten. This is because, as mentioned, the gallbladder stores various enzymes that help to break down our food, thus allowing us to digest it.
When we eat, some of the enzymes are secreted but if there is a blockage then this can cause problems. This means that it is not uncommon for gallbladder attacks to happen not long after we have eaten. It is a symptom that should encourage you to see a doctor if you have not done so already.
