First, gallbladder problems can be genetic. There are 2 main types of gallbladder problems. The first is an acute condition where I stone gets passed and trapped. The stone can be trapped near the stomach, the liver or can travel into your intestines and out of your body. The second problem is gallbladder disease. This causes your gallbladder to swell after eating. They say that fatty foods can cause this swelling. However, after having been diagnosed with both of these conditions I can tell you it didn't matter what you ate.

If the pain is on the right side, a little bit below your rib cage or near your stomach, it is probably gallbladder pain. If the pain is severe and keeps you awake or alerts you, if you are hot feeling or short of breath, or if you look yellow, go to the ER, you probably have a trapped stone.

If the pain is persistent after each meal see your doctor. You know your own body.

Long story short, I don't think it is low carb related.

Also, I had mine out laporascopically, an easy surgery and now am symptom free!
