Can anyone give comparisons/differences of these three? I am still in progress of testing for a diagnosis, and I think I read too much! I have some symptoms of each of these, and was just wondering...
Thank you, Sarita - my doc actually did mention that the capsule endo- might be our next step, depending upon the results of the small bowel test - as far as blood work, they drew some at my appt....
How long can post-gallbladder D last? Could all that I'm going thru be just the result of having my gallbladder removed? I mean, I expected some change in bowel following the surgery, and talked to...
