Frustrated in Louisiana. I am 4 weeks post-op. I had nausea for a month prior to the surgery, which was my only symptom. hida scan showed low functioning gallbladder but all other tests were normal except endoscopy showed inflammation.(CTscan, small bowel study, abdo ultrasound, many x-rays--all normal) Two days after removal, same type of nausea came back. It's worse in the mornings, but usually have some nauseous feeling all the time. Nights and evenings are usually better.I have very little appetite and I have gone from 118 pounds to 105 pounds in two months. . I am trying to research this in my spare time. I'm convinced it is related to the bile and some type of reflux or other reaction. My doctor thought acid reflux and prescribed prilosec but just gave me carafate too---I was taking gaviscon but think the carafate might work better because it is for bile reflux. Prior to the surgery I eat bland foods but now bland foods don't seem to make much of a difference. I'm about ready to just eat what I want since I will feel nauseous anyway. i have found old posts which discuss this but have been unable to find new posts from people experiencing these problems---also, I have some pain in my left rib cage---all my blood work was normal(pancreatic enzymes etc.----does anyone else have this or something similar?

I went to my naturopath today and she says the acid is not the problem ---that actually I am too alkaline from the Protonix so I am tapering off...I can tell you about everything I am doing---There is something called hand cradling---they used it on the astronauts when they were in space to keep tabs on their organ systems---I am having that done on Monday and will let you know what they find...I am not really sure what you have been through---what tests have you had? What meds are you taking? Try to e-mail me by going to my profile and sending a private message---they don't allow us to put our e-mail in the messages---I went to your profile but there was no place to send a private message so go to mine and see if you can do it---if not, we can just keep communicating here---
