I’m wondering if anyone suffers from GERD and gallstones? It’s hard to tell whether the symptoms are caused by the GERD or the gallstone.

Both GERD and gallstones are associated with bloatedness. Stomach pains from gallstones usually occur immediately right after eating and it is experienced on the upper right side of your stomach, below your rib. Also gallstone pain starts from the right side and goes to the back between your shoulder blades. GERD is usually experienced a few minutes after eating. To know whether the pain is coming from the gallstone or GERD have an ultrasound of the gallbladder. If there is an indication that the duct from your gallbladder is blocked by a stone then what your feeling is most likely from a gallstone. If it is not, see a gastroenterologist have an endoscopy done. You have to find out what is causing the reflux.
I had both ,But now they are gone .
Gallbladder is removed and stomach wrapped around esophagus. I wish they had done it years ago .I feel great and no acid reflux.
