Is this caused by a gall bladder disease?

Q: When I went to my doctor, she told me that if I was older she would test me for a gall bladder disease, but I’m only 13, so she didn’t. My family has had a history of getting diseases early, so I’m worried. She told me I just had extra stomache acid and was lactose intolerant, but my acid pills only work occcasionally and my lactose pills don’t work at all. When I eat greasy foods, dairy or a regular-sized meal, I get low stomache cramps, diahrea, somtimes nausea, and low stomache pain. All I can eat at a time without getting these symptoms is a couple peices of plain toast or such no less than an hour or two apart. Could I have gall bladder problems?I also forgot to mention that my dad had colon cancer since he was about my age and had to have his large intestines removed.I have had this problem for about a year and it has slightly worsened as time went by.

A: Ask to be tested for Cystic Fibrosis. These symptoms can be common in people with CF. Gall bladder may also be a factor, especially if this runs in your family!(In response to Cheri-er-rn) Actually, mild cases of CF are often undiagnosed until they become problem-some in adulthood. This is especially true of people with digestive ailments being the main complaint, and pulmonary function mostly unaffected. CF in my own family was not diagnosed until my cousin was 23. Her only symptoms were inability to tolerate heavy, greasy foods, and constant upset stomach. Another likely cause could be IBS (Irritable bowel Syndrome).

Can gall bladder disease with no pain or gall stones still cause problems?

Q: Doctor left message today that my nuclear scan was positve for gall bladder disease. My gallbladder x-ray showed an inflammed gall bladder but no stones or anything.HOWEVER, the only reason any of this was found was the doctor was pressing on my stomach during a physical and the area felt tender to him. Now he’s saying it’s likely it”ll have to come out, yet to this day i have still NEVER had any pain like the websites say I should have and I’ve been eating healthy for months….Why would it have to come out if it still WORKS correctly and hasn’t hurt me at all??I just feel like he’s…scalpel-happy!!

A: You might be in the very early stages of gall bladder disease. You’re doctor is saving you from the pain and suffering that goes with gallstones. The area is already tender so you’re slowly progressing into more severe pain over time. According to the Hippocratic Oath, doctors can not operate on a healthy viable organ. They can get their license taken away for that.

12 yo with gall bladder disease?

Q: My granddaughter has been in pain for almost 5 months. She’s 12 and the pain has been in the right side. She had a HIDA scan in April showing her ejection fraction at 67% which the Dr said was normal. He had her on a low fat diet and her pain level was always 4-5. Kids only know they are in pain and don’t really pay attention to what causes it to go up and down, so she couldn’t say that it was worse after eating. She also didn’t have the typical adult symptoms of gas, throwing up and nausea, except on rare occasions. Just constant high levels of pain. The doc recommended I feed her some fried chicken and french fries, so I gave it to her the night before her MRI which still showed normal although her pain spiked to a 9. The next night I fed her fried pork chop and baked potato with sour cream & butter. Her HIDA scan the next morning showed an ejection fraction of 5%. Finally we had proof that her gall bladder was bad after 5 months, but the doc is recommending she only stay on low fat diet because 20% of people still have problems after surgery. That means she’s in constant pain of 4-5 forever. Not acceptable. I want to hear from people who had their gall bladder out whether they still have problems or not. I think 80% chance of no more pain is much better than no chance. Please let me know how your surgery went so I can make an informed decision. Thank you.

A: you need to get a second opinion. every one that know that has had gallbladder surgery (removed to prevent further complications) have had no more pain
