I noticed something odd today while looking at my blog stats page. It appears that I am getting search engine views from people who have typed in ‘gall bladder surgery.’ I did, in fact, have a post entitled ‘Not Gall Bladder Surgery,’ but it was a landscape photo and the post header was just a silly, random line used to generate interest, which on that level was quite successful. Why someone comtemplating gall bladder surgery would click on a blog post with that title is somewhat mystifying, but who knew.
Since it has always been the editorial policy of Fundamental Jelly to promote healthy civil discourse (at least since last Tuesday), the following information is provided as a public service. The symptoms for a biliary calculus (or gall stone) are as follows:
- Persistent pain in the upper right quadrant
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Bloating
- Postprandial fatty food intolerance
Obviously, if you have any of these symptoms you should contact your personal physician. Additionally, if you have an erection lasting longer than 4 hours you can rest assured that it has nothing to do with your gall bladder.
I’m surprised you didn’t get hits for ‘loud french music.’
Also, you really should cite your source (wife, I’m guessing).
True that.
Sorry, I was searching “Postprandial fatty food intolerance” and just came across your site. Now it turns out I have gall bladder problems? Christ! Thanks for the happy news friend.
But if I have Postprandial fatty food intolerance and an erection lasting more than 4 hours – what does that mean?
I don’t know Ram, I guess to answer your question, I would say it means you could proudly wander the streets with upper right quadrant pain.
does “Postprandial fatty food intolerance” cause reverse peristalsis?
that guy didnt get the “erection” joke. pitty.
