I had horrible problems with gallstones. I had to have my gall bladder removed, but I am still on Actigall. Have you talked to your CF doc about it? Mine told me that is is common with CF.

I am pretty sure I have stones also. I am going to have a transplant and they suggested I have it taken out before the transplant happens. I am also on actegal, they put me on it for my liver. It's pretty common with CF to have gallbladder issues.

When I had problems it was EXTREMELY painful. I actually asked my friend to kill me because I could not stand the pain any longer. (I was just kidding and he knew it!) The pain is different from anything else, it is in the middle of your body and it HURTS. The best thing I did was have my gallbladder removed!
I believe they are common in older (teens & up).But my son was almost 4 when we had his gall bladder removed because of the amount of stones in it. He just tested positive for CF on the on fri the 4th and I am looking for info on Young children with gall bladder issues. Heard anything about little ones?

I had gallstones as well - they were misdiagnosed as anxiety attacks for close to 2 years. The only reason they ever suspected anything more than anxiety was because I had abnormal lab work at one of my endocrinology visits.
I ended up having my gallbladder removed in 2004 - the best decision I ever made honestly. I still get some mild bouts with pancreatitis once in a blue moon but nothing compared to the nausea, panting, bloating, stabbing pain and the "I am going to die" feelings I got with the gallstone attacks.

I never had gallstones - what I had was described as 'sludge'- so of course, it wasn't as obvious in ultrasounds. All they could ever really see was inflammation. I had my gallbladder removed and thought that was the end of it; however, I later ended up getting more of that 'sludge' in my bile duct, which then went undiagnosed and led to a septic infection. All the signs were in my lab work, but the ER doc chose to focus on the ultrasound, which didn't show any stones, so home I went (even after arguing and reiterating my history of never having had stones)- talk about malpractice.
