Hello lovey!
I would go and see your GP. Gallstones are really common in women who are overweight, who have been pregnant or who have been dieting ( every woman I know then!

) most people don't know they have them - until they hurt! I didn't know I had them until my last C section when they had to move my gall bladder out of the way and it sort of jangled them. Hurt like hell for a few days!
Don't be scared that having gallstones means surgery - they might leave you alone once you're off CD. I would go and get some advice and some painkillers though. The only thing I would say is that gallstones can lead to another disease which is serious - can't remember the word but it starts with a c - and the first sign of that is where you turn yellow, like jaundice. It's where one of the pesky little blighters blocks a bile duct. Quite rare though.
XXX The trials of being a woman, eh?!!?
