You need to be more specific with where the pain is and how food affects you. I had my gallbladder removed the old fashioned way back in '91 and I never had the usual knife-like symptoms. MIne were more vise-like as if I were being squeezed around the whole middle front and back. I also would get severe bouts of diarrhea in the am and would have to rush off the bus to the nearest diner. I also ran low grade fever. Many years before that I would have strange pain during the night and have to get out of the bed and lie on the couch. They would subside within an hour or so. I never pursued the problem and it went away until about 10 years later. Don't food around.
