Re: Gerd? Symptoms below

Re: Just wondering why?

My EGD came back fine, but he also did some biopsies. It's just to check for some pre-cancer conditions. Did your doctor check for gallbladder problem?

Re: Could it be Gallbladder even with normal ultrasound?

It took about three weeks after gallbladder surgery, before I really started feeling better. It actually has taken about two months for me to get back to my "normal".

Re: Could it be Gallbladder even with normal ultrasound?

I had an infected gall bladder which caused pretty similar symptoms. Ultrasound came back normal and CT scans. Finally, the HIDA scan came back at 8%, and I had my gallbladder removed.

Re: Gallbladder in question?

I elimated all fat. In fact, I went down to 80 pounds, but an infected gall bladder just stays infected no matter what you eat. Some doctors try antibiotics, but it usually isn't effective.

Re: Hida scan question

It took 3 months to diagnose my gall bladder issues, because I didn't have gall stones. I had an infected/inflamed gall bladder. This problem is such a low percentage that doctors often miss it.
