Do you have gallbladder or pancreas problems?

Gallbladder and Pancreas how I hate you. You cause so much pain that no one can seem to figure out... Why have you chosen me? What did I ever do to you!?!? Do you have the same thoughts as I do? This pain drives me insane, it takes away my sleep and some of my days. I have had problems with these two since I was 16. I am now 24 and still having some of the same symptoms. When I was 18 I had four pancreas attacks in a year. The doctors decided to take out my gallbladder. So it has been 6 years with no gallbladder and for the last 2 years I have been experiencing pain in the middle of the bottom part of your rib cage. Right where the pain was before. It shots into my mid back, and when I eat/ drink it really hurts. I have had another scope done about a year or so ago but they had only checked out my intestines, not my pancreas. When I tell my doctor he just says eat more fiber. What on earth does fiber have to do with anything. Either way I tried that. That didn't work, still have the pain. The pain comes and goes. Sometimes it hurts for 1-2 days sometimes only for a few hours. I know the next time this starts to hurt I am going to the emergency because I know they will do the right tests and not be so darn lazy about it. Like my doctor. One of the last times I went to the hospital they told me in the future I might need to have my pancreas out and then I would need insulin shots everyday. Right about now, that's pretty fine with me. Do you have a pancreas problem? What type of pain do you have? What are your symptoms? Have you had your gallbladder out? Did that fix your problem? Have you had your pancreas out? Have you had problems since? Now I have been told and have read many places that pancreas problems usually occur in men aged 30-50. Or people who abuse alcohol. I don't drink a drop of alcohol and I am a female! Thanks for your input!!
