I had all of the same problems that you
are having. It seemed as if everyone was
guessing what was wrong. I finally called
my doctor and she told me to go for an
ultrasound for my gallbladder. My
ultrasound came back normal as well, no
gallstones. She then had me go a few days
later for a hida scan which came back
abnormal, ejection fraction 26% normal
ejection is 35% or higher. I saw my
surgeon who explained that even though I
did not have gallstones, my gallbladder
was not working the way it is supposed to.
When I would eat, my gallbladder would
contract and then spasm out which was
causing the pain. He also said that
people with gallbladders that are not
functioning correctly will most likely
develop stones.
I had my gallbladder removed this past
wednesday and am still in the recovery
stage. At this time, I can't comment on
whether it helped or not.
