Gallbladder Diease

I recently had a CCK Hydra scan of the gallbladder and the result of the test was an output of 14.7%.  Two years ago I had the same test done with a resulting output of 50%.  Is this a clear indication of gallbladder diease?  I have been experiencing alot of pain over the last three years and I can't get a hold of my doctor to find out.

I was diagnosed in January 2000 with gallstones in my gallbladder.
My doctor told me to go to the hospital to remove the gallbladder.
I am afraid. In April I changed my diet. I'm now on DrAttkinson
diet with high protein and lots of fat, a little of carbs.
Since April I have been feeling fantastic. My heartburn disappeared, I had no pain at all.
For the past week my heartburn came back and is stronger,
also  I feel pain in my gallbladder.
Maybe someone who has the same problems could give me some
advise.

I have been having pretty severe pains on and off for the last three months.  They usually occur under my rib cage.  I have had several tests done.  I have been told that the doctors can not see my gallbladder.  All they have told me is that I have acid reflex disease.  I have also been told to eat high protein foods and cut down on carbohydrates.  I have gone back and forth between many medications.  For the last week I have been burping a lot, mostly in late afternoon to the evening.  This usually also brings on pains to my side.  Does anyone experience the same thing or know what I should do?

Just about a month and 1/2 ago I started exspieriencing servere chest pain, with pain up my upper back.  I thought I was having a heart attack.  Since then the pain has worsened, now it happens off and on during the day, one time for four hours, the next seven hours.  At first doubling my prevacid worked with taking mylanta, now nothing will take the pain away.  And there is no way of knowing when another attack is coming on. I've been to the emergency room twice, and all they do is rule out heart attack, or heart problems.  No one will see me because I don't have insurance, and I can't afford to pay $200 bucks up front.  Today I went to a doctor who said there is nothing he can do for me.  I'm very upset and discouraged with life.  I ask the doctor about my possibility of gallbladder problems, he didn't really give me a straight answer and I don't think he really cared to help me because I didn't have any insurance.  If there is anyone who can help me with discovering what my problem is please let me know.  Also I  know vomit with my pains in my chest, and belch all the time.  Please respond if you can help me.
