What was your diagnosis? I've been having the exact same issues. Doctors can't find anything yet. Going for a colonoscopy in 5 days. Please let me know what happened to you.
I'm glad you are having more tests done. Good luck! And I will check for your posts.
Thanks for getting back to this site.
My diarrhea started green and fluctuates from green to light brown. I saw a gastroenterologist today and having a EGD done tomorrow for them to rule out anything else that could be contributing to the symptoms such as the gluten that you mentioned. I hope they can figure something out in that test. I think they said the next option would be to talk about removal of the gall bladder. I will post how it goes and the results that are found. Thanks for your help!
Your HIDA scan results are low....but you'll need to talk with the doctor about that. I believe a gallbladder problem could be causing these issues, as can other things. If you don't mind answering this question, what color was your diarrhea (yellow, green, brown)? Yellow and green usually point to the gallbladder - but that is not always the case. I've seen several posts over the past few years from people suffering the same symptoms as you have had and are having. All the tests come back negative and everyone is left scratching their heads. It's very frustrating. I realize I just suggested the gluten free diet to eliminate another possibility. So that hasn't been tried yet. I often read about yeast overgrowth and it being the cause of inflammation - I'm wondering if that is something for you to look into on the internet - if you have food intolerances like cow's milk products and/or gluten, too much sugar in the diet, carbohydrate intolerance then maybe you could be feeding a yeast problem (it's shot in the dark). Other than that, I'm not sure what else it could be. Maybe someone else on here will be able to help you. But do follow up on the HIDA scan results. If I can help you with anything or any questions, just leave a message.
My HIDA scan just came back at 24% for my gall bladder....lower then normal but do you think gall bladder could be causing all of these issues or maybe being sick with something else caused the gall bladder to act out??
If you need help with the diet, just leave me a message. And let us know if it helps or doesn't help. Good luck!
Thank you for your comment I will try it out!
Maybe look up celiac disease on the internet. Your symptoms might be related to that, but I can't say for sure. You can try a gluten free diet (no wheat, barley, rye and possibly oats) to see if it helps - give it about 3 months.
I hope this helps.
I also forgot to mention bloating, gas, and burping- recent symptoms as well
