My GI Dr thinks I have gallbladder disease, even though every diagnostic/blood test comes back negative. My only symptom is severe continuous burning pain upper to mid belly (pain never radiates out) that knocks me off my feet for over an hour. I have "no ulcers", yet recently discovered Carafate helps manage pain better (10/10 pain vs 15/10 pain level). Doesn't seem to be related to diet. "Attacks" occur with no warning, usually around 5am,10am or around 5pm, and now happening weekly,more frequently. ER docs have no answers, either. I'm a healthy 55 yo female. Anyone else out there with the same?
