Vomiting
Although vomiting is a primary symptom of gallstones, other signs indicate this condition’s presence. A blockage in the gallbladder can cause bile to flow into the body through digestion. If the liver is unable to break down the bile, it will be released by vomiting.
Gallstone formation can cause the gallbladder to contract or squeeze, leading to pain in the upper right side of the abdomen. The organ can also release bile into the intestines, which absorb fat and nutrients from food. Bile can irritate the intestinal wall, causing nausea and resulting in vomiting.
If you’ve never had a gallstone attack before and you’re experiencing severe or frequent vomiting and diarrhea, see a doctor to determine if gallstones are causing these symptoms. These symptoms are often present when gallstones have moved from the gallbladder into the biliary tract. This move can cause extreme pain in the upper right portion of the abdomen, which is highly subjective to this symptom.
