easy child had his gallbladder taken out last March due to gallstones. He had a sudden attack with pain and a high fever. I took him to the ER expecting it to be his appendix but they did an ultrasound and found stones in his gallbladder. It is very rare for a teenage boy to have gallbladder disease. Most individuals who have it are over 40, overweight, and female. easy child is none of those things. To this day we have no idea how he got it. Anyway, now he is doing fine. He can't have too much fat in his diet or he gets gas pain and diarrhea but other than that he hasn't had any problems since.
