This article is very informative, as the comments from several patients, especially that it has occured to one of my family member. During the summer holiday she started having severe pain in her upper right abdomen. The first episode began gradually with a burning pain and a lot of pressure beneath her ribs on the right side, straight down from her breast. The pain and pressure got worse over the course of an hour until she can hardly move or take deep breath. She mentioned it to the doctor and he said that it was probably indigestion. She continued having pain in the middle of the nights. She would feel as if she needed to go to the bathroom. Days have passed and the pain grew even more. She went back to another doctor and had an ultrasound performed, and they confirmed that she had gallstones. She was referred to a surgeon. We are puzzled as to how these stones are formed. So thequestion is:
Is it due to the tap water or unhealthy diet or do we all have stones in us?
