Is mucus / tissue in stool related to biliary dyskinesia

For the last year I've been having episodes of dizziness, confusion, extreme fatigue, nausea, vomiting, pressure in my throat, gagging, mucus and scabs in my throat, stomach discomfort, excessive burping, fullness, low appitite, diareah and bloating. I was hospitalized earlier this year after massive unintentional weight loss. I started feeling better and gaining weight so I went home, but after starting to get worse I finally did my own research, pushed for a HIDA scan and learned I have biliary dyskinesia with a fraction ejection of 0%. I was told I need my gull bladder out, but I am concerned there maybe something else going on. I have been getting what looks like orangish brown tissue in my stools for a year as well, but it's recently increased. Can all of my symptoms be explained by biliary dyskinesia? What other tests should I have and what other issues could be contributing to my symptoms?

Hmm,  most of your symptoms mimic mine, and I'm also getting mine out, except for the throat scabs, you might want to make sure you don't have some kind of infection in your body. I've had stool samples (they check for parasites, bacteria, viruses) and maybe an endoscopy to check your upper gi tract. If you really have the money, I'd just go ahead and do the endoscopy and a colonoscopy at the same time because they put you under for endo but not the colonoscopy. Let me know how it goes! Best of luck

Thank you. I will heed your advice; such things are free where I live,  so there aren't any obstacles. Better safe than sorry. Its comforting to hear the majority of my symptoms aren't uncommon to you with the same diagnosis/ recommended treatment!
I'm glad I could bring you comfort in this confusing state of health. Any sane doctor will refer you for gb removal and the procedure is very low risk, plus if it's free, that's awesome! I wish that was the same here. I would knock out the stool samples, endo, and colonoscopy before your surgery, though, just in case you have adhesions or bleeding because that will delay your operation.
