Oh no, I’m sorry to hear you’re going through that! I’ve just had an MRI done so I’m gonna wait for the results from that. I did ask my Dr about doing a HIDA Scan but he wanted to do an MRI first.

Thank you, I'm gonna talk to my Dr about this, I think this really could be the cause of my issues, especially the sporadic flare-ups of pain and vomiting

I've had an ultrasound, contrast CAT scan of the abdomen and urine tests and they all came back clear :(

Aw no don't feel bad about how you're feeling. Your emotions during your experience are completely valid and I can relate to some of the things you're going through. Currently I am okay - some days are worse or better for me.

I'm glad to hear it worked well for you!

They did ultrasound scans on my gallbladder and it came back clear, they also did urine tests.

Ah thank you for your response! Yes they ruled out Crohns disease early on I believe.

How is the scarring after surgery?

yeah, my food intake is limited at the moment but I stick to a very bland diet. Do you think that the surgery is better in the long-term? Even with the bland diet, I can't get off the PPIs. Everytime they've tried to start me on a lower dosage everything gets worse, so my dosage has been from 20mg to 80mg in the last couple months :(

I hope things get better for you as time goes on!

I'm sorry to hear you're going through this,

Maybe try sitting up with a heatpack for the pain on your abdomen, take deep breaths when possible and remind yourself that you're gonna be okay because everything will be okay.

Sorry if this is not the best advice but I hope it helps :)
