Gall Bladder - 0% Function Gastroparesis?

[clc123]

My daughter is 23.  She has been having nausea and vomiting, stomach pain, gas, bloating for the past several months.  She had a gall bladder function test - works 0%. Alot of acid in the stomach.  Tried to do a stomach emptying study, but could not keep the food down for it to happen.  Now trying to treat her with Reglan.  Thinks she has gastroparesis.  Do her gall bladder need to come out?  If her stomach starts moving the food, will the gall bladder begin working again?  Need help, not sure if we need a second opinion.

That is what I was thinking. To me gallbladder now has no purpose.  I think we need a second opinion.  She is out of work because of nausea and vomiting. I can only hope that her condition will improve if removed.

I believe the current understanding on the gallbladder is if function decreases there's no way it will return. Considering the bile that is currently in the gallbladder is sitting and could become problematic in the future, it may be a good idea to speak with her doctor about leaving it versus removing it.
