I had my gallbladder removed a few years ago. I was in my 40's. I have heard that it is common to have problems bc of the CF.

I don't know Seana.. I actually was having trouble that I thought was gallbladder related but the pain seems to have gone away..... I was told that sometimes with a gallbladder attack it can come and go. When I posted about it I was told that many Cfers have gallbladder trouble and I think some of them take actigall or something like that.

If you read use the search you should be able to find information on it as I just posted about stomach pain not that long ago... I got great responses.

Hope she feels better,

Jennifer
