Lack of Appetite
As gallstone pain increases, a person may start losing appetite. If meals trigger symptoms like nausea, a person may start avoiding food altogether to control the pain and discomfort. As the infection or inflammation worsens, the gallstone can block the bile ducts completely making digestion a very painful process. The blockage forces bile up the liver. This problem is common among individuals with weak immune systems.
If you lose your appetite due to indigestion and nausea, visit a doctor. A simple blood test can reveal increased liver enzymes, bilirubin and alkaline phosphate levels which are a clear indication of a blockage.
