Slow Gallbladder - New Symptoms? Posted: 07-25-07 21:18pm
Hi, thanks for reading.
I started with digestive issues a few
months after my daughter was born and am
going on year 2.
Started with a "twinge" feeling under my
right rib, progressed to 2 months of
diarrhea, then alternating diarrhea and
constipation, and I have been fairly
"normal" the past 9 months, with the
exception of painful gas followed my a
large bm every morning, which has happened
daily for the past 18 mos. or so.
Tests - 2 sigmoidoscopies, endoscopy,
blood work for parasites and measuring
white blood count and 2 Hida scans. All
results were negative except my HIDA
scans which showed a slow functioning
gallbladder (no stones).
In the past week I have started with a
tightness in my right side that starts
under my right rib and progresses to my
back. It almost feels like my intestines
are "full." Stretching helps a bit, but I
can tell it is not muscle related. It's
worse after I eat a big meal, lasts for
days, and I keep burping. Could this be
gallbladder, too?
