I’m in the hospital tonight. I’ve got two gallstones in my gall bladder and one in my bile duct. The gallstones are causing a lot of inflammation in my gall bladder. I’m taking morphine. I’m being
referred to a surgeon in the morning. I’m told they’ll likely remove my gall bladder in a day or two. I can’t get to my computer at home for detailed research. I don’t have my cell phone recharger with me.

Do you know if there are any alternative to surgery to remove the gall bladder?

TUDCA or Jarrow’s Bile acid factors can help liquify gall stones over time, but nothing you can do will fix a gall bladder filled with stones and causing acute pain and inflammation that put you in the hospital.

Pictures of gallstone-filled gall bladders are not pretty, and you can die from what happens next, at this time.

It is possible if you only have a small gallstone stuck that they can remove just the gallstone, letting you work on reducing the rest, but if the pain is from your gall bladder itself, that's a different problem.
