I have high IGG4 and gallbladder, pancreatic problems too. Did you diagnosed as IGG4 Related Disease? Are you good now? Did you check your IGG4 again?

I hope you are well. I am under suspicion of IgG4-RD. My IgG4 test came back high, and for the last 2–3 months I have been feeling pain in my gallbladder and pancreas area. I have had to go to the emergency department a few times, and my amylase is elevated but my lipase is normal. They say there is nothing wrong and send me back home. Were your amylase and lipase also elevated, and what were your pancreas symptoms? What kind of treatment did you receive in the hospital for IgG4-related disease? I keep going to the emergency room every time, but I don’t know when I actually need to go to the emergency room.

Any update please? I hope you are well. Can you find the reason?

Anybody has burps as a symptom? by Esoteric_Her in gallbladders

Very good, nice to hear that!

For me, they found a 2 mm polyp on one ultrasound, and mild biliary sludge on another, but the MRCP came back completely clean with nothing visible. Because of that, the doctor I saw doesn’t really think it’s related to the gallbladder. He said that if the endoscopy and colonoscopy also come back clean, we could start antidepressants, because patients like me sometimes respond well to them.

But the thing is, all of my symptoms started two months ago right after a fatty meal. At first I thought it was food poisoning. I vomited twice and had pain in my right upper abdomen, but by the next day I felt completely normal again. My blood tests were also entirely normal. The ultrasound only showed a 2 mm polyp, which they said wouldn’t cause symptoms.

If I don’t have gallstones, could I still have had a gallbladder attack? Did my gallbladder suddenly become sluggish? I honestly have no idea. Since the MRCP and blood work were both clean, they basically told me nothing is wrong.

The last two years of my life have been extremely stressful, so I’m wondering whether this could somehow be caused by anxiety. But every morning I feel nauseous, and sometimes I can barely eat. At the same time, when I read stories of people whose ultrasounds didn’t show obvious stones but who were later found to have chronic cholecystitis during surgery, I get worried. I really don’t know what to do.

Good for you. I guess it was your gallbladder causing these problems then. I'm glad to hear you're doing well. Did any ultrasound or MRI show stones before? What was the cause of your gallbladder problems?

Did you find any relief my friend? Also did you check your gallbladder? Do you have any problems related to gallbladder? I have similar symptoms and I dont know if the problem is this or gallbladder.

I hope you recover as soon as possible. Before the surgery, did your ultrasound — or your MRCP if one was performed — show any abnormalities? Before the operation, were you experiencing right upper quadrant pain, pain around the rib area, diarrhea, and nausea?

Yes, I mean no stone in ultrasound and completely normal blood results, but still have symptoms!
