Gallbladder Diease

David Cummings

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 with gallbladder disease recently. I first had an xray done which showed nothing wrong. Then I had a sonogram on a new machine that is supposed to produce great images and it showed nothing. My sister did a test on her gallbladder which "shrank it." Her doctor said she had a "sick gallbladder" with no stones. My doctor says it runs in families and says I could do the same test. However, since he put me on a lowfat diet of 20 grams per day....I haven't had any pain at all except when I had a terrible allergy attack (from coughing and blowing my nose so hard) and the aching I have for my favorite foods.

Should I get further testing? Are there any diets that actually build the health of the gallbaldder rather than just prevent fat from bothering it? I weigh 108 and I do not want to lose any more weight. My sister is 97 lbs. I was eating about 90 grams of fat before this diet.

I have been told that I have a gallbladder. I am scheduled for an ultrasound within the next month but in the meantime I am worried. I was told it can rupture. Is this is true? My cholesterol is 251. Can a gallbladder affect losing weight? I am 5'6 1/2" and I weigh 195 lbs.

I had gallbladder surgery almost three months ago, and have had diareha and vomitting since. Also I started fainting from lack of digested nutrition. Anyone out there with similar problems?
