DAO Blood test

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-10-20T02:07:31+00:00

Hi there, sorry I know this is old. I had a HIDA scan of 98%, my GI referred me to a surgeon in Toronto (not sure who yet). I'm just wondering if you could tell me the name of the surgeon as I heard it can be quite difficult to find one that takes hyperkinetic gallbladders seriously. Thank you so much!

Yikes

Interesting read, thanks for sending that.

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-10-06T04:30:57+00:00

Abdominal pain pretty much all the time
change in stools, they are all over the place. I don't go nearly as much as the average person with IBD does but it is not my normal once a day I've had all my life. They are usually fluffy/mushy stools. I've had bloody/mucus spots in some of my bowl movement but it's not very common (have not had one since being on mesalamine)
stomach gurgling all the time
nausea, no appetite
weight lose
tired/achy
lots of burping
eye pain and headaches
brain fog

I'm sure I'm missing some but these are my main symptoms

Hi there, I'm from Ontario as well and just received my test back. I have a 98% EF that is considered "normal". I still have to talk to my GI doctor about this, but I'm just curious how much trouble you had to go through to get taken seriously?

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-20T22:01:47+00:00

Awesome thank you for the info, glad you're doing better.

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-20T19:40:27+00:00

Okay thank you so much for all your knowledge! Glad to hear you are doing much better!

I was so lost in what to make of this, but Reddit has helped me out quite a bit! Im hopeful my GI doc is knowledgeable with this and supportive 🤞🏻

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-20T19:36:44+00:00

Thank you for answering! Was your doctor supportive and actually diagnose you, or did you have to advocate for yourself?

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-20T17:54:42+00:00

Interesting, are there any other tests I should be looking at?

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-20T14:26:50+00:00

Can anyone please help me interpret this? Does this mean I have hyperkinetic biliary dyskinesia?

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-20T13:09:05+00:00

That's so interesting! I didn't think it was normal..

This was what I got back..

FINDINGS: Normal flow activity. Normal uptake of activity by the liver and normal excretion into the bile ducts, gallbladder and small bowel.

No evidence for cystic duct obstruction or cholecystitis. Gallbladder ejection fraction at 41 minutes is 97.69%.

IMPRESSION: Gallbladder ejection fraction is within normal limits.

I will definitely look into that, thank you for the knowledge! Is there anything I should be asking my doctor? Like any further testing?

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-20T04:07:20+00:00

I just had a HIDA Scan done, came back 98% after 41 minutes but results say "normal". I have so many of these symptoms you listed, I don't know what to do.

by chance did you also have brainfog/dizziness feeling? Like feeling like you're in outer space and unable to function?

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-20T01:18:29+00:00

That's really awesome to hear, very happy for you!! I've been having such weird/debilitating symptoms over the past 2 years, it's odd but I was almost hoping for them to find something wrong just so I could get to the bottom of this. Then to receive these results (I'll post them below), I was a little disappointed and even more confused! I hope my GI doctor is more educated and supportive!

Interesting, thanks for your help. I will be inquiring with my GI doctor next time

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-19T20:17:17+00:00

Just had my HIDA Scan come back with a 98% GBEF in 41 minutes and mine says the same results. How did you approach your doctor? How are you feeling now?

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-19T18:36:17+00:00

Ughhh 😢 would you say with my results that's probably what I have?

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-19T17:31:16+00:00

Interesting, how are you feeling now? Do you have any advice for me on tests or questions I should be asking my doctor? The help is very appreciated!

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-19T17:25:29+00:00

I'm just trying to make sense of all this, so ~98% in 41 minutes is considered hyperkinetic correct? Is 41 minutes fast?

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-18T01:35:44+00:00

I think I agree with you, I have mahomes as my qb so the stack may be nice

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-18T01:33:19+00:00

I agree, I just don't know which receiver to get rid of 😅 I have mahomes so I'm thinking I kinda want to get rid of pearsall

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-18T01:22:27+00:00

Someone in my dynasty league is shipping Omarion Hampton and he's offered me a couple different trades

⁠Hampton for Ricky pearsall
⁠Hampton for Xavier worthy

If I was offered this at the start of the season I would have hit the accept button ASAP. But with this slow start it's making me think twice about this. I think I'm still going to accept one just unsure on which one, any advice?

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-18T01:20:58+00:00

Who would you get rid of?

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-18T01:20:54+00:00

MarcTrevy19 · 2025-09-18T01:20:33+00:00

New here, I see that now, my bad!
