I too, suffered from gallbladder disease, and have to have surgery. My stomach was also distended and everything that I seemed to eat, kept me bloated. I would suggest highly that you should go to a GI doctor that specializes in that field and let them do some blood test, ultrasound and even a hidascan that will detect gallstones, and even if you have any infection around the gallbladder. Good luck to you in whatever you decide to do.
