I have constant right side abdominal pain. I did all the tests including hida and all are normal. In fact hida result was 96 - seemed a little high to me. The doctor would like to do a laproscope to see what's going on inside while planning on removing my GB. I'd rather not remove anything unless we know more surely. Lately I had one of the worst acid reflux attacks ever and I have been feeling close to having more lately. I was once told that a gallbladder can actually push bile up in the wrong direction thus increasing stomach acid, etc. thus causing acid reflux. Is there any validity to this claim? It seems like a viable possibility to me.
Thanks,
JB
