You have had a comprehensive evaluation, including upper endoscopy, CT and MRCP.
Further, more specialized tests, can be considered. This can include a HIDA scan with CCK stimulation to evaluate for a low gallbladder ejection fraction, a 24-hr pH study to exclude GERD, or motility studies to evaluate for esophageal motility disorders.
These options should be discussed with a GI physician.

I stated in my question that I have no gallbladder. The problems started mainly "after" I had my gall baldder out? Thanks but is there anything else? I am already being treated for GERD...
I too am searching for answers to your concern. I had my gall bladder removed in April. Lately things seem to be getting worse instead of better. Diet is very restricted. The pain is intense, stomach sounds are frequent. I am to see my doctor tuesday... we will see what is in store next!
Hope you find some answers and some comfort!
