The hida scan is one of the best tests. The Ultrasound can not tell you as much. When they inject the cck during the hida scan it will reproduce your symptoms in most people. When I had mine I felt the same cramping and nauseous feeling that I usually had with my attacks. It was worth it to know what was wrong. The hida scan will show them the percentage that your gallbladder is functioning. No other test will do that. If it is low then usually surgery is recommended. If it is not functioning normally then you will get fat in your stools as well. Since you had sludge you may get that again along with another infection. I would suggest the hida scan . Its is really not that bad. I have had 2 of them.
Actually i was having a gall bladder infection in January, usg showed some sludge which went away within 10 days.
Recent USG showed GB is normal..
I also have Fatty Liver
I think you are right, but is there any other way to find out Gall bladder disorder..
People say HIDA is painful..
I think i need to get my GB removed.. Its the main culprit..
Thanks Ma'am for the information
The probiotics can cause a little cramping since it produces gas. It should be helping you kill off the yeast. I do not think yeast can cause fat in stools. If the pain is below the right ribs then yes I would ask about a hida scan. This can tell if your GB is functioning normally. If it is not then you would get fat in your stools.
sometimes after having food or smoking, i get burning pain below sternum more towards rt. side..
I am suffering from rt sided pain below my ribs as well often..
My liver profile states everything normal except high ALP in blood..
USG and CT are normal.. Should i talk with my doc for HIDA scan
Can yeast cause fats in stools..
The lower abdominal pain is getting worst after having probiotics, I searched everywhere, it states yeast die off symptoms.. is it anything serious
I am wondering if they have checked your GB with a hida scan? Sometimes the rt sided pain is associated with that as well. Is the pain under the ribs?
Probiotics can be taken with anything. It is not really a medicine . It is only good bacteria like eating yogurt. The probiotics will cause some gas for a while until you get used to them. Did your dr precibe the fluconazole pills? These can be taken with probiotics also. Your dr would need to determine dosage but the nystatin is easier on your system so this is the one I would try first.
If you feel really bad then always go to er. If this does not start to feel any better in a few weeks then remember to ask for hida scan and the cdiff tests.
