About 11 days ago, I was having stomach
bloating, dull stomach
pain, and dull pain in the lower right
abdomen. This included alot
of burping and farting. I went to the
doctor and he said that I had
symptoms of a gall stone. I had an
ultrasound and it came back
negative for the gallbladder. Since
then, i've been having lower back
pain, mild stomach pain, slight acid
feeling in the lower throat on occasion,
and dull lower right abdomen pain on and
off. The gas and
burping is a little less than before, and
the bloating is lower as well.
I'm suppose to go see the doctor again
next week, but i'm concerned
as to what my problem is. I've been
taking doxycycline for acne over
the past 8 months, and I just noticed that
a side-effect from this is
gastro-intestinal disturbances. I've
also drank alot of cola and eating
alot of greasy foods, etc.. Before this
had happened. Also, I was
in a foreign country about 6 months ago,
and took a drink of water
which made me dizzy for a few seconds..
Could it be bacteria?
Anyone with similiar problems, or any
advice, or ideas as to what my problem is
would be very much appreciated. Thank you
very much.

this all sounds very similar... And in
searching in what the problem is before
going to the doctor I touched down here.
My symptoms are very similar burping,
farting, odd feelings in my stomach, over
all yuck feeling, and maybe a bit of
dis-coloring of my crap.
Logically I thought it could be a few
things, but those feel things went further
into variables, so i'm still unsure whats
going on...
I don't think I need to go to doctor
yet... It seems to be getting better...?
Or is it?
I've narrowed it down to a few suggestions
i've received... Bacteria? Allergic
reaction? Food poision? Alsur?
Stomach/intestine infection?
Well, I went to the doctor and he has told
me that I need
to get my gallbladder removed. I'm going
to set-up an
appointment tomorrow with a specialist and
see what
they say. The results of the hydascan
pushed him to
think it is the gallbladder, but i'm
wondering if other
problems can influence the results of the
scan. My
doctor never took a blood test or
anything, he just went
directly to the gallbladder and didn't
check anything else.

Gallbladder??? Posted: 02-08-04 14:15pm
Hey guys, I have all the same symptoms.
It has been annoying because doc has
treated me for hiatal hernia (i don't have
one afterall) and then finally my
gallbladder. All tests have shown normal.
Egd, 2 ultrasounds, hida with cck
injection. Also was tested for h pylori
(bacteria) and negative.
My bloating stays with me most of the
time. Sometimes, I can't even get my
pants buttoned and I am a small framed
gal.
The only thing that seems to help me is
staying away from fatty foods, period!
Have you ever heard of irritable bowel
syndrome?
Do you ever get severe pains under your
breast bone, just below the "v"? Burping
relieves the pain somewhat.
My uncle had his gallbladder removed and
all of his tests were normal too. It
won't hurt you to have it out. It really
doesn't have much use besides storing bile
which the liver can also do.
