High GB EF

[shelz44001]

I just had a HIDA scan.
After the tracer was injected, it took OVER 4 hours for it to start to enter the small bowel.  When it did, it was a trickle and it never really followed the bowel.  Just a small portion picked up the tracer.
After 4 1/2 hours, the CCK was injected.  It showed a 97% EF.  During the CCK infusion, the pain and nausea was unbearable.
When I have the pain, it is ALWAYS in my URQ and intensifies for about 3-4 hours then it goes away.  I experience this pain 2-3x a day.  I don't eat much because I know it's going to cause so much pain and nausea.  I am 5'4" and in Aug I weighed #119, now at the end of Oct, I weight #106.
The radiologist dictated that the HIDA scan was normal with an EF of 97%.  He also dictated that activity becomes apparent in the small bowel after 65 minutes, which isn't true, it was 4 hours later that it entered the small bowel.  Thankfully I have the images but I don't know what to do with them.
My family dr said it was normal and basically told me to deal with the pain, nausea, anxiety, and weight loss.
Does anyone have any suggestions?  Or has anyone had similar results and if so, how did you handle the pain, nausea, anxiety and weight loss?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you so much for your reply.
I discussed this with the Gastro dr my PCP suggested.  He has scheduled me for an ultrasound EGD...I think that's what it's called.
When I tried to discuss that the EF might be too high or the pain was horrible during the test, he said there is no such thing as an EF being too high and that the pain/ nausea during the exam had nothing to do with my gallbladder.
I am so frustrated.
This pain is horrible.
I have called three Gastro drs in the area and nobody will see me because the HIDA scan said there could be a possible "ampulla spasm or partially obstructing distal common bile duct mass could be the cause of the delayed excretion of activity into the small bowel."  All the drs I've called said they do not treat CBD obstructions.
I don't think I've EVER been more frustrated/ in so much pain.
Nobody should have to go through this.  And to make matters worse, my PCP isn't on my insurance plan any more, so now I'm no my own :'(

Hi, understand your concerns. The HIDA scan w/ CCK provides two pieces of information. The first is how well the gallbladder is functioning by assessing its response to CCK which is your body's signal for it to contract after you eat. The second is whether your symptoms are duplicated by inducing a gallbladder contraction. There is emerging data that suggests that the second is the most important to predict who would benefit from gallbladder removal. The good news is that if you experience your typical symptoms during the test you have probably found the problem. So, please discuss your symptoms and reports with a gastroenterologist, he will give further assistance. Regards.
