OGG....Just a thought...
Aprox 2o years ago I had an encounter with a young lady that after a few shots of tequila ended up out on my back deck throwing her guts up..
Shortly after she had her gall bladder removed.....Afterwards she was fine and has been....
Thoughts??
I can relate. My gall bladder was giving me fits for many years, but somehow... despite being the single most common surgical procedure in America, every doctor missed it. My symptoms were pretty brutal, severe would be an understatement. The "attacks" were random and often debilitating. Several times, I thought for certain I was having a heart attack. Many trips to the ER, once they kept me for a week and ran every heart related test you can imagine only to send me home with a shrug of the shoulders.
It was my wife that finally figured it out, and after an inconclusive ultrasound, my doctor told me it was all in my head. It got to a point where I was experiencing one long, endless attack that drove me to the brink. I went weeks without sleep in absolute agony. All I could do to partially mitigate the pain was to pace endlessly around the house.
Finally I had an MRI that revealed my gall bladder to be "completely filled with stones". It was so packed it made the ultrasound technician think it was "normal" since it just showed up as one solid mass.
Turns out, another few days would have killed me. They tried to remove it orthtrscopically, but a large stone had gotten wedged in the bile duct and was working its way into my pancreas, which would have taken me out quick. They ended up doing a full "open" surgery that took six hours. The recovery took almost a year.
Anyway, one of the big symptoms was an absolute intolerance for alcohol. Any kind of beer or spirit would make me nauseous and basically FUBAR in a matter of minutes.
The first time I drank after the surgery, I was downright giddy with joy over being able to drink and not immediately wish I hadn't.
