could it be heartburn(GERD) or gallstones?
I don’t know if i have heartburn or gallstones… gallstones run in the family. but all i have is a pain in my upper abdomen. i don’t have any of the other symptoms of gallstones. I do feel better after burping and going to the restroom. I have taken over the counter medication and they seem to help but… i am worried about which one i have and which one i don’t. I have done cleanses and i have never seen any stones passed through. is there any definite symptom that would help me know which one i have? I used to get it all the time, but i stopped drinking soda drinks and cut down on sugars and it seems to help. i only get it maybe like once a month now around my period. please help! any ideas?

When I had my gallbladder problems the pain was very severe. It started off fairly mild but then got worse and was to the point that I was doubled over on the floor and dripping in sweat by the time the rescue came. Everyone is very different tho.
See a doctor. They can do a physical exam, blood work and even an ultrasound if they think it is necessary which will show them the inside of your gallbladder.
