Gallbladder & GERD???

Posted By vickie on September 15, 1998 at 18:50:05:







I am a 40 year old female who for the past 5 months have been experiencing a backflush into my chest and throat. I was vomiting weekly and had numerous tests including endiscopy which only showed a small hietal hernia. Yes they did a biopsy which came back normal. The doctor then put me on Prevacid. It did not work so he put me on Prilosec and Propulsid which also did not work. They then did a nuclear medicine scan which showed my gallbadder was not emptying correctly. 2 weeks ago the gallbladder was taken out lapriscopicly and the systems are better but not gone entirely. I am still being very careful about what I eat but am surprised that the symtoms (symptoms) are not gone.
Can you please give me any insight about this. It feels like gas building up and when I belch it alleviates the symptoms.
