A direct reason and cause for gallbladder attacks can be due to gallstones. And if you want to spend some money to confirm that, you can perhaps arrange a CT scan with your doc.
But if it were me and I was having painful gallbladder attacks, the first thing I would do would be to supplement Chanca piedra(Phyllanthus niruri) as capsules at 1000mgs after every meal until the gallbladder attacks stop. Or, if you prefer, you can get another CT scan to confirm that you no longer have gallstones.
I must also be totally honest with you and confess that I am completely biased wrt supplementing Chanca piedra because it is such a magnificently beneficial herb and that's why it is one of my all-time favourite herbs! Reasons? Because Chanca piedra is probably the best blood purifier out there; because it ALWAYS successfully dissolves and removes gallstones and kidney stones painlessly within a week or so; because it kills certain viruses -- like Hepatitis A, B & C, Herpes virus and HIV -- by blocking the reverse transcriptase enzyme that is so essential for viral replication; because it strongly protects both the liver and kidneys; because it safely lowers fats, calcium and sugar in the blood; because it reduces blood pressure and is good for the heart; because it's an alkaline-forming herb -- and alot more besides. You can read all the research evidence here:
Chanca piedra Usage and Research
For the last two months I've been experimenting with Chanca piedra(CP). I've been supplementing half a teaspoon of CP powder(approx 2 gms) as a tea or in my coffee twice a day. It's a bitter tasting herb but that doesn't really bother me when I think of all the benefits of CP. And from all the research and in case you are wondering -- Chanca piedra has no known upper dose limit.
I've been taking CP regularly for the last two months at the dosages and frequency stated above and this has successfully brought my blood pressure down from 80/180(with occasional dizzy spells) down to 70/123(no more dizzy spells) in just 2 months.
I intend to continue taking Chanca piedra daily for the long term because it's such a wonderful and safe blood purifier. I'm an old guy, so it makes complete sense for me to use a blood purifier like Chanca piedra as a preventative -- as I get older -- to help me avoid high blood pressure, high cholesterol while also helping to continually remove or prevent calcium-based "stones", which also includes preventing the formation of calcium-based blood clots. CP can also be used for dissolving uric acid crystals causing gout because it is alkaline-forming in the blood.
Apple Cider Vinegar in Apple Juice for a Gallbladder Attack Jessica (Lehi, Utah) on 05/31/2023

I woke up tonight with so much pain in my upper abdomen and back. At first I thought I had the stomach flu because all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball, I had the chills, I couldn’t sleep because if the pain. After a couple hours of tossing and turning it occurred to me it was probably a gallbladder attack. I haven’t suffered from gall bladder issues for many years so it wasn’t my first thought but I was pretty sure that’s what was happening and I was willing to try anything you make it stop. I have used organic ACV for gall bladder before and decidedto try it again. I felt like dying anyway so what could it hurt. I poured myself a small cup of apple juice with 2 tablespoons of acv grabbed a warm compress and 10 minutes later the pain is gone! It’s a miracle cure I swear!
Apple Cider Vinegar in Apple Juice for Gallbladder Pain Nancy (San Antonio, Texas ) on 03/16/2023

I was skeptical about the ACV thing, thought it was mostly hype. I’ll give anything a try once (we’ll, almost anything) and I was in having a gallbladder attack… I had just bought some raw, unfiltered, organic ACV and apple juice (because I’d just read about it helping gallbladder pain) so I took 1 tbsp in 8oz of juice and within about 15 minutes my pain eased tremendously then vanished completely in about an hour! I couldn’t believe it!! I’m telling everybody about this! Why don’t doctors tell their patients?!
Apple Cider Vinegar in Apple Juice for Gallbladder Attacks Juju (Pittsburgh Pa) on 03/05/2023

I was waiting for a friend to come back from store with the apple juice, in much pain. I just decided to drink about two tablespoons of ACV with the mother, plain. THANKFULLY, That alone worked. Within about 10 minutes. What relief!!! Pain was almost unbearable. Thank you.
Apple Cider Vinegar in Apple Juice for Gallbladder Attacks CheekiKat (San Diego, CA) on 12/29/2022

I started drinking Apple Cider Vinegar on my second morning and I was doubled over in pain. I also started keto on Day 2 too and I believe that was what triggered the gallbladder attack. It came on so suddenly about 20 minutes after eating breakfast. The pain was in my upper right abdomen and was excruciating and lasted about 40 minutes. And just like that went away. Three hours later I felt fine and decided to take a couple sips of water then 15 minutes later the pain returned and lasted for about 30 mins. I tried the Apple Cider Vinegar and Apple juice remedy listed here and it worked. I also ate an apple then a light dinner and I felt an odd tightening around the area but no pain. This was a life saver I thought I would have to go to the ER. Thank you to each and everyone of you who posted.
Peppermint Essential Oil + ACV for Gallstones KB (Western Australia) on 06/20/2022

On the body over the pain area, rub peppermint essential oil to move the gallstones from the outside. It will penetrate into the body and help move the stones. I did this along with taking freshly juiced green apple juice and apple cider vinegar. Worked a treat.
Artichokes and Beets Prevents Gallbladder Attacks Ellen (USA) on 02/05/2022

My wellness Doctor suggested eating artichokes and beets daily with a little olive oil. Seems all 3 work! No more gallbladder attacks.
Ox Bile for Gallbladder Issues dashiell123 (Los Angeles, CA) on 03/11/2021

Hi I had sludge in my gallbladder which was causing a lot of discomfort. After taking ACV to manage the pain, the doctor suggested taking Urso, OX Bile to reduce the amount of sludge. Within two months after taking Ursodiol and Taurine twice a day, I did an ultrasound and the sludge was gone. I am also managing my diet by avoiding fats, oils, dairy, and other triggers. I do not need to continue the Urso and Taurine anymore but may need to take it the sludge comes back. I am so thankful for this site and for everyone's generosity in sharing their tips for managing their ailments.
Toni (Philadelphia ) on 06/25/2019

I was a skeptic but I was also in severe pain. This was my third attack and the longest one so far lasting more than 9 hours. At 1 am I couldn’t handle it anymore. I took 2 tablespoons of ACV with apple sauce and within the hour I was asleep.
Ang (Pensacola, FL) on 03/13/2019

Woke up at 4am with first gallbladder attack in over 12 years, after doing a Turmeric remedy for another health problem (which worked beautifully, btw, and is totally worth this minor setback). I could tell all that Turmeric had me feeling quite biliary! Now I sit, reading everyone’s reviews, sipping my Braggs apple juice drink (comes with acv and cinnamon already mixed in, but I did add in two additional tsp.s of acv). Halfway through my mug and already feeling the relief kicking in, thank goodness. I must’ve been psychic when I decided to try this new (to me) drink. It’s been sitting in my pantry for a week, just waiting for this brilliant opportunity. Can not express the level of pure love I feel for Earth Clinic. ððð Y’all have saved me hundreds (or more) dollars in just the past couple of weeks, and made me feel much, much better. Thanks to all acv in apple juice reviewers!
Aloe Vera Juice for Gallbladder Attack Srj1214 (Cleburne, Texas) on 10/22/2020

I'm surprised that I don't see Aloe Vera juice listed for relief of Gallbladder attack. It's the only thing I've found that helps me. When I feel pain in my gallbladder area I drink 4 oz of aloe vera juice. (It needs to be "inner leaf" to prevent laxative effect). Within just a few minutes I can actually feel my gallbladder emptying and the pain and nausea are relieved.
Low Fat Diet after Gallbladder Removal Karen (North Little Rock, Arkansas) on 11/15/2018
I just had my gallbladder removed in emergency surgery, and told to be on a low fat diet. I want to do well, but I know we need some good fats, and heard bad things about low fat diets. Any help and suggestions would be very appreciated.

Apple cider vinegar and apple juice

Apple Cider Vinegar for Gallbladder Attack Amy (Princeton, Ma) on 09/15/2018

In the throws of my second gall bladder attack and in complete desperation, I found this site. So skeptical that apple cider vinegar would be able to do anything to stop this pain. Drank two tablespoons of ACV in 8oz. of ginger ale, and 20 minutes later relief!!!! I cannot believe it worked! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Apple Cider Vinegar in Apple Juice for Gall Bladder Attacks Marcia (Indianapolis, In) on 07/16/2018

For my gall bladder attack I added one Tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with the mother to eight ounces of half organic apple juice, half organic cranberry apple juice. I sipped it over about a 20 minute span. In about an hour my pain subsided. In the future, I’ll use two Tablespoons. Thank goodness for Earth Clinic and natural remedy relief!
Re: Tonic Water Gallbladder Attacks Lucy (Us) on 04/22/2018
Tonic water is a miracle for gallbladder attacks (for me, at least). Apparently the quinine stops the gallbladder from contracting (hence the discomfort).
Apple Cider Vinegar in Apple Juice for Gallbladder Mags (Ny) on 03/29/2018

I had my first gallbladder attack after eating too much food laden with butter at a restaurant for lunch a couple of days ago. Two hours later extreme nausea and was close to vomiting. I found the Apple Cider Vinegar in apple juice remedy and had both in my kitchen thankfully. It was hard to get down because I thought I would throw up at any moment. About 20 minutes later when I had finished the drink the nausea subsided considerably. I still felt gross the rest of the night but the next day was ok. Great remedy, thanks.
