That was Gross !

I just drank a smoothie and after a bit I was getting that gurgling and bubbling effect that I had been talking about...So I remembered that I have a stethyscope,curious as to where this sound is actually.....It's eminating from where my Gall Bladder is and my Bile duct as it crosses the liver.....Now hearing it on a steth WAS GROSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS...But I'm glad now...Now I know where it is.

Not a doctor, but it seems more plausible that the "gurgling and bubbling" sound is coming from the stomach and not the Gall Bladder. I also doubt the stethescope can pinpoint the source of the sounds as you suggest, and I'm also guessing you haven't been trained in its use. I also sometimes get "gurgling and bubbling" sounds after eating and I'm sure it's my stomach.

Could be......But I'm a Rescue Diver,with O2 admininstrator certification and in CPR......I Know my anatomy pretty well........The area where I stated is where the common hepatic and right hepatic duct runs to the Gall Bladder....I do know how to turn a steth on/off........But this is something thats been concerning me....Not because of pain...Just becasue its a nusance....I'm sure I'll know more after tx,when they BX me....I will ask to see a gastro tho to do some checks..
