Question:
I get this pain in my back after eating some of my meals

Does anyone else experience this? Is this gas or am I possibly eating too much at certain times because the pain definately feels eating related and not the typical kind of muscular pain I usually get in my back. I don't get this pain all the time after eating, just sometimes. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.    — Sheila R. (posted on February 7, 2002)

I get that same thing too. It hurts like all "heck", but eventually goes away. Not sure what it is, and cannot offer you any advice, just letting you know that someone else out there has the same thing goin on! I chalked it up to gas..??

Hi... Sorry to tell you this, but, if you still have your gallbladder, that could definitely be the problem. Your symptoms are exactly like the ones I had, and I ended up having my gallbladder out. I urge you to tell your doctor right away.... the pain WILL increase, to the point that you will be howling for morphine. I know this because I kept wishing it would go away... it doesn't. It's extremely common for gallbladders to fail after weight loss. It's nothing you did, and don't bother trying to figure out 'the pattern' of when the pain occurs, after what food, etc. Just go to the doctor now!!
