Hello I am going thru the same thing. I was treated for ulcers after my gallbladder surgery, which caused a lot of the same symptoms that your having. I know just have acid reflux, which is causing severe hunger pangs in the morning and sometimes at night. I am trying various meds as I am drug sensitive and it takes a while to find the right one.

I got my gallbladder out july 2008 almost a year ago. Shortly after the gallbladder was removed my throat was getting irritated. I seen my ENT he wasn't sure why it was but he gave me antibotics just in case it was a bacteria infection. Over the next couple months the throat was getting more irritated & i burp just by drinking water. I went back to my ENT months later becuase my throat was feeling kinda raw. He said it looks like it may be from acid. So he prescribed Prisolec. I took it for about a week it helped somewhat with the irritation of my throat. Now my throat is sore again & i now realize it is acid reflux but i've never had acid reflux other then a lil heartburn when i was big & pregnant. So i went and seen a gastro. doc & he did a endoscope but did not find any ulcer or anything abnormal. I asked him how i could suddenly get acid reflux after 37 yrs of never having this problem. He said it just happends & push his prescription of prisolec torwards me. I don't believe this just happend i believe there is a cause. Has anyone developed acid reflux after gallbladder removal??? It seems the systems got even worse after i was on anitbotics for about 2 wks in feb 2009. I am miserable with this acid reflux. I don't want to take any drugs(ANTACIDS) that in the long run cause all kind other problems.

Have you found out if this is bile relfux or acid reflux caused by the gallbladder removal? Did you have aicd reflux anytime befoe you got your gallbladder removed?
