Hmm. Then even more, I think you should get those gallstones checked out. I had similar symptoms--pain and nausea that just got worse and worse--so bad that it actually finally got me to a doctor (I avoid them for as long as I can). And it was a good thing I did, because when they finally operated on me, my gallbladder was in *really* bad shape.

And if your nausea is increasing, or just keeping on, I would take that seriously. (And as you said, you're not responding as well as you thought you would to this diet....) I would get it checked out, and see if you need your gallbladder out, or if there are other treatments that you might need or that might help. Truly.

Since having my gallbladder out, I feel so much better--no nausea waking me up at night (that's a question--do you get pain/nausea in the middle of the night? And about belly button level? That could definitely point to a gallbladder problem).

The D got worse for me three months later--but I've had that on and off all my life, and now I'm pretty convinced that I had both problems--IBS and gallbladder stuff. And the diet's working so well for me right now.

So, I'm back to hoping you get it checked out by the doctor when you go. I think it's important to know. (And again--good for you to take this seriously, and to get to the doctor's in the first place.
