FYI to all with or suspecting
dysfunctional gallbladders--there was a
study done that PPI's (certain antacids)
were found to reduce gallbladder function
(in healthy individuals that were tested).
Can search on "ppi gallbladder function"
and / or check out http://www.medscape.c
om/viewarticle/503676
I was on one for a few days when I
presented with the nausea, heartburn, and
mid-chest pressure last Oct/Nov. While
the PPI did help with the heartburn,
after a couple days I had horrible
dizziness / nausea / mental-fog that
cleared up when I stopped taking them. At
the time I thought it was just a side
effect and I switched to an H2 blocker
which also stopped the heartburn without
the nasty effects.
I still don't know if my GB is the problem
or not, I don't have any stones, but that
and a few other reasons have me keeping it
on the list. I'm hoping to find out via
tests in the next few months.

Eihcet, have you ever read the information
on sensiblehealth.com? It's very
interesting, especially the stuff
pertaining to the liver and gall bladder.
I'm taking a break from the supplements I
was taking because they were causing me to
get migraines and I've decided to try the
suggestions on sensiblehealth.com. I do
feel better than I did in Dec and Jan, but
I do still feel pain in my gall bladder
region, though I can tolerate it now. I
also wanted to mention that a person can
still have gall stones even though they
don't show up on an ultrasound or CT scan.
I wouldn't be surprised if most people
these days have some stones and sludge in
their gall bladders. Our bodies just
can't process the hydrogenated oils/fats
that are found in most snacks and
convenience foods these days. It sticks
to our arteries and probably is getting
stuck in our livers and gall bladders.
I'm glad you posted that on the antacids.
I had read that too. How have you been
feeling?
