What Are The Symptoms Of Gallstones?

Appetite Loss

Gallstones can cause the gallbladder's bile ducts to become blocked, and to remove the blockage, the gallbladder will repeatedly contract, leading to pain. This pain can result in a reduction in appetite loss. The pain and appetite loss might last anywhere from fifteen minutes to several hours. When the pain lasts longer than six hours, it indicates a medical emergency. Loss of appetite might encompass a general lack of interest in food, a reduction in the amount of food eaten, or a sudden lack of interest in food that appears in response to pain. Patients with gallstones often also deal with bloating, nausea, and vomiting, all of which can also trigger appetite loss.
