Fullness, indegestion and nausea?

[kyomagi]

I have been having issues where I would eat, but generally feel full for long periods of time and eventually feel sick and only dry heave.  I have seen the doc who has told me I was backed up and that’s what was causing it.  But I was still feeling full even if I emptied my bowels.  Basically indigestion and nausea.  I have had several blood tests, xrays and even had a upper endoscopy that revealed some inflammation due to extra acid and a colonoscopy that all came back clear.  Wednesday im headed in for a HIDA test with a CCK for my gallbladder to check that out, but I cant see how that is causing anything as I have no pain.

The thing that helps about 95% of the time is lactulose solution that makes me pass gas and go to the bathroom.  Maybe my stomach is smaller now due to the near 40lbs iv lost since Jan?

can anyone tell me if you have had this and how/if you resolved this?

hi thanks for the reply, i had the scan today.  First hour was the injection of the filling agent and the last half hour was the CCK stuff.  I had no reaction to it at all, but that does not mean something is not wrong with my GB correct?

Hi, in HIDA scans the gall bladder gets filled in 5-10 mins and sometimes longer. The emptying usually happens within 2 hrs. That's what happens if the test is normal--if something is blocked then the progression stops flowing along--usually either the gallbladder never fills or it never empties in an abnormal scan. CCK HIDA or HIDA with ejection fraction (EF) is seen to check for gallbladder ejection. There is nausea and some amount of pain with this medication.  If gallbladder ejection fraction is below 35% is considered to be gallbladder dyskinesia.
If there is gallbladder dyskinesia, you should be having fatty food intolerance and sometimes pain in the right upper quadrant if there is evidence of gallstones or inflammation of the gallbladder. If due to non-functionality of the gallbladder, there is stasis of bile, it could predispose to gallstone formation.  Good luck with your procedure. Regards.
