No update here, under my indications for HIDA scan it showed gallbladder sludge from CT. I was excited because this would 100% cause all my symptoms but apparently his was incorrect.... My HIDA scan...
If you've read mine I had crazy symptoms and it finally turned out that I have gallbladder sludge and will probs have my gallbladder taken out. My HIDA scan was a 38 but I was having a great day that...
Also I'm in taking 3k calories a day now compared To 1.5k as prior. I tried gluten free and paleo and got no results. Cut out dairy as well, nothing. That's when I said screw these meds and boom here...
I quit all the meds because they only made me worse. I'm waiting on a HIDA scan and Mri on pancreas and blood work results for amylase lipase to come in Monday before updating everyone. I'm still in...
How's everything else going? Are you still taking any meds? Finding a diet, albeit one that works was hard to find was very helpful for me as well as quitting all meds. Good luck!!!...
what did they figure out for yah ying? I'm probably gonna get my gallbladder taken out, I'm meeting the surgeon on thursday!...
I'm having Doctor order a HIDA scan tomorrow. So I'll let you all know how that goes....
Like i stated after quitting the medications all my symptoms began to normalize. That's when the pain over the gallbladder started to become more frequent. It is not constant and my reflux only...
Yah I hurt right over it and still have slight indigestion....
Well it looks like we're taking my gallbladder out. I'm scheduling tomorrow, after not taking any medications 90% of my issues went away on their own. I eat all soft foods and have been having no...
I got lucky and none worked for me so I only took nexium here and there. I did get rebound tho when I did a 2 week stint on it. Since I haven't taken anything in 2 weeks and as long as I don't eat...
LPR was my first thought too actually, but with diet changes medication and every other recommendation followed for the last few months nothing changed. I've went gluten free then I added dairy free,...
Pretty sure I don't have any form of acid reflux or silent. I sleep flat at night and having nothing come up. Also my symptoms are constant there is no trigger there is no end. No position changes...
Maybe 2x a week. No food triggers it specifically so hopefully this is it. I had salt and vinegar potatoes chips today..... No issue feel great. I eat sushi one day fine same exact order the next day...
My GI ordered a gallbladder test so here's to hoping for answers!...
Nail on head Ying....
Fix it first!!!! Haha, I'm happy to hear things turned out well after the last post you made of the unknown reading on it. Good luck with everything, and congrats you're gonna get your life back!...
I just want to say thank you to everyone being so active here and trying to help each other out. Let's keep this up, I'm waiting for my doctor to call me back about scheduling bile duct and...
I read you can't get a breath test unless you're off meds i.e h2's and ppi's for 2 weeks and antibiotics for 4 weeks. Not sure if this held true for you or not melig?...
Ow wow. I read you can't take anything for a month prior to the test is this what you did?...
haha, give them an ear full too for not knowing what that code meant!...
Melig So you're saying they biopsied you and it showed nothing, then you got a breath test and it showed you had h pylori? I'm going to ask for that if so....
Yah I had that test too, said im normal. Basically you eat radiated eggs and then they take pictures over a 4 hour time span and do some math. At 4 hrs I was 95% empty. I'm putting all my eggs in the...
I got a job already making what I would as an AA with way less responsibility so I'm content. Now defeating this illness Is my next accomplishment....
Zelda you've been through a lot and I'm sorry to hear it. I hope things get better for you, no one deserves to suffer like this....
My reflux gets so bad some nights I just force myself to puke to get rid of it so I can sleep. Other nights I just vomit normally. But hey all my tests say I'm fine. Last night for example 6 hours...
Catch you sound like Ying and I. I've had a few tests as well, all of which have yielded next to nothing. The worst part is I get zero relief from any medicines so i'm pretty much always stuck like...
Time to restart the machine, "just kidding" but seriously anywhere that doesn't know what a code means that's doing a test on you is probably not the place you want your health issues determined....
All my issues started about 2 weeks before thanksgiving. They got progressively worse and never improved afterwards. I kept trying to see a specialist but the VA lost my referral one time then put me...
I was in my 3rd semester but I don't think I'll be going back to medicine. I could write a book on the fiasco of dealing with the VA for this problem and another Ive under gone. Sadly I'm too much of...
Just did a barium swallow today, "got it moved up" and the lady asked me if I really had gerd sigh. That being said I'm still gambling on gallbladder issues as the culprit. Figured I'd keep people...
I tried everything for my issue and nothing helped. Going gluten free and dairy free has seemed to help me the most so far, less acid and reflux. Maybe you should get your gallbladder checked too...
I'd say that's my chief complaint is reflux/digestion issues. I can go 6 hours then puke up my meal, "last night was fish, zucchini and s-potatoes" and that happens frequently. I occasionally get the...
Just got CT done, nothing abnormal other than my gallbladder looked large. Hopefully it turns out to be the issue, god a lap chole would be such an easy answer if it turns out my gallbladder is the...
I tried acupuncture too, it didn't help me in the least bit. Hopefully you'll have better luck than I did. I'm trying carafate as of today, "my dr. ordered it for me" which i find strange because he...
Yah we discussed everything while it was being performed. Mind you this was the radiated eggs version not the other one that's common. Just let them know you have a medical education and banter with...
I'll give that a look, i'm going to my doctor again the 19th, after I do a standard barium swallow the 12th and an abdominal ct tomorrow. I was also in school for anesthesia assistant, "same as a...
Well as the title suggests I have the lovely feeling all of us are familiar with in our throats, acid reflux. What I do not have is any heartburn, trigger foods "other than really greasy", or...
