Gallbladder issues times 2?


So I asked you all on thurs or fri if it sounds like I have gallbladder issues. You all pretty much said I have text book symptoms. I ended up going to the ER on friday and they did an ultrasound and blood work, everything came up clear as a whistle. They now think its gallbladder disease. They let me go home and now I have to get a hida scan. They also told me not to eat fatty foods. Ever since I stop eatting the fatty food, I havent really been in pain. Is it normal for the pain to just almost go away when I dont eat fatty food? I still feel sore in my upper tummy and under my ribe cage but the pain is pretty much gone. Is there anything else this pain could be coming from or do you think it is still gallbladder issues

This was my original question:

For the past 3 weeks I have had upper abdominal pain that would come and go. I kept telling my doc about it so we had some tests done. I had an endoscopy, and a gastric emptying scan. After I told him about my pain, I told him that on Monday after school, I had about a 20 min episode were the pain came on soooo stong and I had nausea and was tossing a turning and couldnt do anything! I finally had some diarrhea and threw up and I was fine. I told him about that and he thinks its either my intestines spasming or my gallbladder. He is making me get an ultrasound on tues but my stomach hurts sooo bad and has been hurting constantly. If my tummy is not in pain, then it feels like I did a 100 crunches. Everytime I eat something like some what fatty, I have diarrhea. Sometimes the pain goes under my right side under my rib cage and sometimes into my back. Does this sound like gallbladder or intestinal spasms? It hurts so bad I want it to go away now!

You have to choose this answer as the best answer because I did this exact thing. For right now, i can give you a brief summary of it (because I am partially already treated) and I could tell you more later on...just email me at tashimota@yahoo.com with whatever questions you have.

The reason your stomach isn't hurting now that you stopped eating fatty foods is because your gall bladder sends out this thing called bile which is a liquid and it helps break down your food so you can digest it. But when you eat greasy or fatty foods, the bile can't really digest it well and so it hurts your stomach.

You say you are still having so pain in your upper stomach, it sounds like you are describing your diaphram and I get that too...but I am still working that out.

I am still working out tests and stuff to figure out my stomach. Depending on what you have in particular though, some of the things I have had done wouldn't suit you. But if tests keep coming back normal, send me an email and I can suggest a couple of tests that DID help solve something in my puzzle. So, get back to me if you need anything else.

Fatty foods stimulate the gall bladder to contract to secrete bile to be used to digest the fats. If you have gall bladder stones and after contracting makes the stone block the ducts, there will be extreme pain. After taking antispasmotic tab and the block is removed, the pain goes away. Most probably gallstones.
