I am 23 years old and have been having GI problems for quite some time now. I figured I would give my GI history before asking my question. Last year I started to experience all the typical pains associated with gallbladder problems/attacks. I would get pain under ribs on the right side and was having a lot of indigestion and regurgitation. My doctor recommended a gallbladder ultrasound which came back negative for stones. I was also given prilosec for the nausea, belching, indigestion, heartburn etc. I was fine for essentially the whole year. This past September I began to have all the same problems and would actually be running for the bathroom because I was afraid my food was going to come back up. I ended up in the emergency room with all the same pains and had yet another ultrasound. Once again it came back negative. I had a stool culture done because I was having discolored stools and weight loss almost 3 lbs a week increasing to 5lbs a week I went from 180(August) to 163(Current). It was found that I had C. Diff. bacteria from some antibiotics I had taken. I took a 10 day cycle of Flagyl and all my pain had subsided and I thought I was back to my normal eating habits. I began eating pizza and cheeses and other fatty foods to try and gain the weight back. Not 5 days after being off flagyl i was having the same pains and couldn't even eat. I went and saw a GI doc and did a HIDA scan and it came back at 14% ejection rate, the size of the gall bladder is normal and my liver and bile ducts are fine with no stones. i have an appointment with a surgeon in two weeks and I have been all over the internet looking up information as to whether or not I should have it removed. I have been dealing with this pain for months now and would love to be somewhat back to normal. I should also note that gallbladder issues run in my family; my grandfather had his removed, my sister has gallbladder issues with an ejection fraction of less than 11% and she has since modified her diet(which works for her being that she wants to eat low fat and lose weight). I am a person who does not like to lose weight (weightlifter/bodybuilder) and to see the scale go from 180 to 160 in less than 5 months is a huge blow to my self esteem when I am trying to continue bulking. Essentially I am asking If I should have my gallbladder removed since I have been experiencing this pain and my EF is 14%?
