I took Yaz for a month and a half and ended up with gallbladder disease! Which there is no cure for and needed surgery to have it removed. This seems to be a risk with all oral contraceptives but I've taken other brands years ago for long periods of time and this never happened. My symptoms were severe pain (lasting several hours) after eating ANY food containing fat. I lived on toast and soup for over 2 months. This drug is evil.

I have been on Yasmin (Canada) for two years. I contributed my gastrointestinal discomfort to my food sensitivities/allergies, until all I could keep down was rice bread. I've just been told I will have to have my gallbladder removed. I am very healthy, I eat organic, I don't drink or smoke. I don't take any drugs unless totally needed. The ONLY drug I am (was) currently taking was Yasmin. Tell ALL your the women in your lives about this side effect. There are so many advisories and warnings listed on blogs about this drug (distributed in CANADA by BAYER Inc Toronto), why is no one taking notice?
