Gallbladder??? Or Not???
Posted: 06-16-04 18:23pm

For about a year now.......Within 1 hr. Of eating greasy foods, chocolate, or ice cream, I have nausea/vomitting. Vomit tastes like poison!!!! Have had several bad pain attacks sometimes right under breast in middle of chest---like heart attack! Sometimes on right side under ribs like the pain in your side you would get when you were little and ran too hard. Upper endoscopy showed hiatal hernia and ulcer in esophagus caused by the reflux but the Dr. Thinks it's gallbladder. So I had abdominal ultra sound--normal, and a hida scan--81%. I am still vomitting green poison after meals which has caused fever blisters inside and outside of my mouth. Bowell movements are looser than normal and beige colored. Even though the test are normal could it still be gallbladder?????

I am no Dr. But it sounds to me that it could be all the above but after almost a year with these problems I would think something should be done. I have had my galbladder out, I now have a hiatal hernia, they are now operable but mine isn't that bad yet I sleep propped up on pillows and with a wedge, it does help me, I avoid acidy foods such as tomatoes, I get a lot of heartburn that feels like I am having chest pains, I use gaviscon and extra strength tums for that, if I were you and the Dr. Did not do something soon I would find someone that would as you always have a right to a second opinion!
Sincerely.
Sandy
