Unhappy Gall Bladder or something else ?

Hello all,

On July 7th my stomach was bothering me bloating gas and diarea all day. It continued and so on July 8th I go to Urgent Care, DR says it's probably a stomach virus, to eat broth, for a few days.

I do and feel a little better, so I eat on July 14th symptoms come back worse
painful gasy feeling bloating, I'm also burping a lot.

I go to my Primary care on 15th says maybe gall bladder but does not test gives me antbiotics for possible bacteria infection.

On July 16th my stomach feels a little better (bloating) but having some back pain, so not taking any chances go to the ER they do X rays say everything looks ok, so off I went.

Now I get sharp pains in the upper middle of my stomach, does not last long maybe a few seconds, but is scary feel it to my right shoulder.

Ok so i have not ate anything other than toast, crackers, and white rice which caused some pain.

I called the ER and want to get my Xrays to see them. But feel stupid to go back to my primary care if the ER says there is nothing wrong??

Did they Miss something.... do i ask for a certain test?

I have not ate real food since 07/05...today is 07/27

Any Advice Welcomed.

Re: Gall Bladder or something else ?

Bloating is usually caused by the friendly intestial bacteria being out of balance like a yeast/ candida infection. To rebalance the good bacteria -- you need to eat a good brand of yogurt and take some probiotic supplements.
Unfriendly bacteria thrive on a sugary diet and carbs are converted to sugar and that is all you are eating.

So, you have to reduce or eliminate sugar from your diet for a while until the friendly bacteria gets OK. Antibiotics and too much salt can also kill off good bacteria.

Re: Gall Bladder or something else ?

Thank you so much for the advise,

Your right all I have been eating is Carbs, and salt (pretzels)

I had a male yeast infection on my "X" (sorry ladys & gents) a couple months back I wonder if it is related the Dr said I just got it for some weird reason.? It took forever to get rid of different creams blah blah and was ugly.

The stomach thing is making me feel like I'm making it up in my head, if the ER said everything is ok, but that sharp quick pain makes me reconsider.

Maybe the quick sharp pain is a phantom due to stress and scared after i eat...I read about gall bladder attcks and they seem to last a lot longer than a couple seconds.

Thanks again i think i'm going crazy.

Re: Gall Bladder or something else ?

Yes, gb attacks generally last hours, not seconds. And Xrays will not show anything to do with the gb. The test for gallstones is an ultrasound and the test for low functioning gb is a HIDA Scan. Did anyone do any blood work? An elevated billirubin can indicate gb problems.
