hi, for the past few months i've been suffering with acid reflux with hunger pains and back pain. After a scan it was confirmed i have gallstones (one large one). After seeing a specialist to i was told that my symptoms are not just from the gallbladder. These are very regular dhiarhia that is often yellow, i also pass alot of mucus every few days. The other worrying symptom is a constant (for last 2 months every day) a feeling like there is something in my right side rib area. Its like a full and pulling sensation and lately it feels like something spasm and moves. Its very worrying but its 4 weeks before i have a endoscopy.

This sounds like your liver, did the speciallist mention ANYTHING about Billerubin? Also look in the mirro at the whites of your eyes and see if they are white or slightley yellow? What did he elude too about "Not just from the gallbladder"?

no she didn't mention anything like that. My liver was mentioned on earlier tests saying it was slightly elevated but they never seemed to concerned saying that can have something to do with my gallstones. My eyes seem normal to me. it makes me extremely anxious worrying about it though.

sorry yes she said the bowl movements and stomach pains seems to be a stomach acid issue. thats whats she's sending me for a endoscopy for.

Even though I call the Gall Bladder - The Ugly one of the group - ;-) - It is a VERY valuable organ, and when you have something wrong with it, then it can affect your WHOLE body! Have they mentioned about removing it? I think they should, you just need to have a change in diet, and will feel SO much better!

yep they do want to remove it, i just have to lose some weight before surgery. I've changed my diet completely but still this water balloon like feeling in my side. Its always there and never changes. Thanks for the replies by the way.
