Ultrasound,CT & HIDA normal what's next?


I have had Ultrasound CT & HIDA scan and all is normal. But...I have almost constant varing degrees of pain in upper right and side and sometimes back. Can't eat meat without becoming sick or almost sick. Starting to loose weight bcause I do not want to bother eating. It hurts after everything. Hurts on inhale sometimes and nothing helps the pain. Just recently I have started belching for hours after eating and I feel a warm sensation between the bottom of my ribs in the middle. What tests can I suggest or things to look into ? This pain is getting old! Oh I also had 2 positive Murphy's signs in the past 6 months from 2 different Dr.
I can't just have them take my gallbladder out. They want proof something is wrong before they even take me a patient.
Any input??

Then perhaps the problem is not your gallbladder if these tests are all coming back negative.

Instead it may be the stomach or duodenum - possibly a gastric or peptic ulcer. Get a referral to see a gastroenterologist. You will likely need an endoscopy and a biopsy to see if there is possibly a specific bacteria called Helicobacter pylori that may be causing the problem if it is an ulcer.

liver disease. if your alt and ast levels are normal you can still have hcv infection. many that have hcv went undiagnosed because the alt and ast levels were normal, so the doctor would assume the liver was okay. if your having upper right quandrant pain and not feeling well after eating meat (i went through that at 18-eventually, i couldnt even be around it at all), it just might be hcv...either the protein buildup in the system or the iron content of the meat or both could be causing you to feel sick.
your gallbladder issue is a sign something is wrong with the liver.
it could be hcv or autoimmune hcv, hbv or NASH as well.

have they looked into any of this? have they tested you for antibodies for hcv or hbv?
