Its really good to hear from a professional. I had gastric bypass 3 years ago and seem to have had nothing but pain that could not be diagnosed. Finally after the Hida scan the doctor told me that 100% excretion of bile is being released. Hoping having my gallbladder removed will help

Just curious, in his blood work how are his EOS numbers? I have suffered same symptoms, finally discovered I had parasites, but they don't always show up in the stool tests. Dr's only test for parasites using the "Conventional" stool test. Look up the "Medicine Functional Comprehensive" stool test. Much, much more accurate reading. I learned the long hard way. I don't know if this helps or not, but turns out this is what I needed. I suffered through way too much pain, only learn about this.

I had a hida scan last year and my gallbladder was at 94% ejection rate and the doc said that was normal. I found out later that doc was a quack. I still have pain on my upper right side and chest pains. It also goes around to the middle of my back. Gravy really sets it off. I get dizziness that borders on vertigo, nausea, bloating. No one else on earth has been able to tell me why.

I've had many issues since 2011. Gastro 2 years ago said everything looked fine, and I needed to eat my vegetables. 2011 fraction rate was 70%. Last December 2015 I had a kidney transplant. Keep complaining of nausea, and pain and now EXTREME bloating. Took measurements of abdomen upon rising, I gain up to 3" in girth. Blood work, ultrasound and now biliary scan "normal"
Going to have another colonoscopy/endoscopy mid September. Since 2010 have had 5 of these, different doctors telling me all is fine! I'm tired and feel like giving up.. I showed this to my husband now waiting to see what Dr. Says. I stumbled upon your article searching for answers, thank you for a bit more clarity on the subject.

Did your issue resolve after surgery?

My hida scan results were a 98% ejection rate. The burning pain from the inflammation was extrenely uncomfortable, limited my activities and disrupted sleep.
My general practitioner sent me to a surgeon to discuss gall bladder removal as a resolution to months of discomfort. Each of them referenced studies indicating positive outcomes for those with this condition. I read the study results and decided to have the surgery. Prior to surgery I began a self-imposed anti-inflammatory diet in an attempt to eliminate the need for the surgical solution. I avoided gluten, processed meats, etc.
Although my symptoms had not changed prior to surgery, evidently the diet had reduced some of the inflammation and lab biopsy of the gall bladder indicated moderate inflammation rather than the severe inflammation we expected results to show.
Note: Although the anti-inflammation diet must have improved the condition of my gall bladder itself while on the diet I had not experienced less pain or fewer physical symptoms. (diarrhea, constipation, severe burning pain, etc.) while on the diet.
In the three months since the surgery, my bowel has settled down, no more burning pain, etc.. Thus, my internist, surgeon and I agree that surgery was the correct solution to a 98% ejection rate.
I hope this helps others with a HIDA scan results indicating a high ejection rate. I realize my 98% rate was extremely high and unusual but you're reading these comments because you are seeking information related to the experiences of others and I truly hope my story helps you make your decision about a surgical solution for a high bile ejection rate.

Did you have your GB removed? How do you feel now? Have your symptoms diminished/disappeared? I hope so! My 22 year old daughter has been suffering with the same symptoms. Please post a reply! Thank you!

Thank you for those key-words for the search "High Gallbladder EF Case" brought up a few medical journal articles which will come in very handy for convincing the doctors that my wife is not crazy, and that this is a real condition.

Please look up gastroenterologist: Dr. Saad Habba in New Jersey, USA. He has authored medical publications on this subject. Rapid/high ejection factor + chronic diarrhea = dysfunctional gallbladder, NOT IBS-D, and treatment may include bile acid binding medications, NOT removing gallbladder.

I have been dealing with "attacks" in the middle of the night for 6 years now. Nausea, explosive diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain that won't go away. Have had 2 CT scans which were both normal and yesterday had a HIDA scan showing an ejection fraction of 82%. I know have a referral to a GI, but I'd like to go prepared with the most up to date info that is available. Can you help me out?

Thank you so much! I have been struggling with this for a long time and I am finally being referred to a surgean. My ejectrion rate was 98% and I have had all of the symptoms above including when I lie down now. That started 2 weeks ago and I saw my doctor today. I hope we all find relief because it has been miserable.
